Day 252 - 9/9/11

I bought this small (8'x8'x6') bounce house at the consignment sale :) It was $45! It is small, but so are the kids. We set it up just to make sure there weren't any issues with it and then packed it back up. I'm planning on using it for the kid's joint birthday party next year! Of course, if we have several people over for a play date, I may need to bust it out again :)




And one more picture, just because... Katelin is my little babywearing toddler :)

Day 251 - 9/8/11




This picture kinda creeps me out. All I can think about is the freaky girl climbing out of the well in The Ring!

Day 250 - 9/7/11



Brrr... I don't know the last time it was this cold here!!!!

Day 249 - 9/6/11



It is consignment sale season again! It may not look like that much, but there is a LOT of stuff here to sell. Out with the old and in with the new! Just Between Friends Denton is an awesome sale!

Day 248 - 9/5/11




My kids live for ice cream!!!

Day 247 - 9/4/11



Drew's turn to fish. Yes, he's using a pink, barbie fishing pole.
I can't say that I wasn't a little nervous that he'd hook a fish that would pull the stroller (and him) into the water! Luckily, the water in the pond over there isn't very deep!

(Note, this picture was actually from the 3rd)

Day 246 - 9/3/11

Katelin was so cute this morning. She grabbed Chris's laptop bag and started dragging it around. She said she was going to Aunt Jen's house but she needed my help... she needed me to drive her to the airport. She said she was all packed up and ready to go. I let her drag it out to the car (we were on our way out anyways) and we got her all loaded up and drove to the pretend airport.



After her pretend trip, I let her paint with the watercolors while Drew started hi nap. She love it! My little artist. :)

Day 245 - 9/2/11


Day 244 - 9/1/11


Drew is working on his golf skills.

Day 243 - 8/31/11

No picture today... I had a lot yesterday though :)

Day 242 - 8/30/11

Katelin's FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! Can't believe she's in preschool already! She's going Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9-2.

We found out that Katelin is in the FISH class so I *had* to make her a personalized fish shirt for her first day, right? :)


It was very windy so her hair was blowing all over the place!


Drew didn't really know what to do with himself today! Katelin is almost ALWAYS around! They were cute when we picked Katelin up. She kept hugging him and telling him she missed him.

Day 241 - 8/29/11

Making faces while reading a story before bedtime. Katelin LOVES the 'How do Dinosaurs..' books so we bought her How do Dinosaurs go to School and saved it for the night before she started pre-school!


Day 240 - 8/28/11

No picture... but I posted two for yesterday :)

Day 239 - 8/27/11

Step 1 - Take off all the cushions & pillows off the love seat & couch
Step 2 - Throw them in a pile on the floor

Step 4 - Laugh hysterically!




Day 238 - 8/26/11

Day 233 - 8/21/11


Hmm.. more ice cream at grandma & grandpa's.. I'm starting to see a pattern here! Well, they come home in one piece, they are well loved, and I get free babysitting.. I can't really complain!

Day 232 - 8/20/11

Today was our friend Isabelle's 2nd birthday party. Drew was multi-tasking this morning.. "working" on Katelin's laptop while eating breakfast.


This is the front of the card I made
.

Katelin and Drew had fun in the kiddie pool they had at the party. They also had a medium-sized inflatable slide but I couldn't convince Katelin to try it

Day 231 - 8/19/11



We had lunch with Sabina and Lindsey (little Lindsey) today and after lunch, Lindsey came back to the house and played with Drew. Then, after Chris and Sabina got off work, we all went to dinner at RGs burgers. Fun Day!

Day 230 - 8/18/11


Katelin tried a new snack today at grandma & grandpa's house! From what I heard, she LOVED it. MMMM Twinkies. Mom assured me that they only gave her a small piece of it. Twinkies sugar high probably isn't such a good thing for a 3 year old!

Day 229 - 8/17/11

We went to Pei Wei tonight... one of Katelin's FAVORITE places to eat (when she wants noodles!). Drew got to test out the chop sticks tonight. He actually used them properly a couple times.. then he just stabbed the chicken.

Day 228 - 8/16/11


Grandma Z is having problems with her knee so we got her one of the scooters to cruise around Target. The kids both loved it. Luckily, no one was injured!

Day 227 - 8/15/11


Getting ready for bed.

Day 226 - 8/14/11



Drew at dinner... he had the basics covered... protien (ham), fruit (strawberries, peaches, and banana), carbs (oyster crackers), and dairy (cheese). What more could a mom ask for???

Day 225 - 8/13/11

The kids and I headed out to Brian & Robyn's house for Rylie's first birthday party. Katelin had fun playing with Landry and Landry's cousin while Drew tried taking over all of Rylie's toys!

Katelin loved the barbie wig and pusing around the stroller!

Day 224 - 8/12/11


Katelin was helping me get ready for Rylie's first birthday party on the 13th. Okay, really she was just cutting up the scrap papers!

Below are the items I made..

Card and gift tag!


Bank.. the purple is just a piece of paper I held up so it was easier to make out the front.


A small gift bag for Landry.. can't let the big sister be left out!

Day 223 - 8/11/11







The kids enjoyed some ice cream cones at grandma & grandpa's house!

Day 222 - 8/10/11



Katelin likes using her tower to help make waffles for breakfast. This morning Drew joined her!

Day 221 - 8/9/11

Sorry.. No picture for today :(

Day 220 - 8/8/11





Smokercraft Dealer Meeting... boats, boats, boats!

Day 219 - 8/7/11

We headed to New Paris, Indiana this morning. We got caught in a few rain storms along the way but we made it to the Smokercraft Dealer Meeting. No picture today.

Day 218 - 8/6/11



We spent last night in Milwaukee. This was the view from our hotel room in the morning. We checked out of the hotel and drove to Chicago where we had lunch with Laura, Karl, and Zoe and spent a little time at their house. Then it was off to Eric & Sarah's. We walked to a pizza place for dinner and then played Spades at their place until midnight! We drove to Indiana and spent the night (well, from about 1am to 8am).

Day 217 - 8/5/11



Chris and I flew to Milwaulkee this morning. We are kid-free for a few days. We had lunch at a little brewery... sampled some beers and ate some brats. Chris had the big beer on the left, I had the little one :)
