We certainly made the most of every minute this weekend. We did the usual – Cailee had soccer, Connor had Gymboree, then we headed to High Point for Audrey’s third birthday party at Pump it up! We (well, the kids) love this place – who wouldn’t? It’s a room fully of bouncies just for the…
In a nutshell… We kicked off the week at the zoo, Cailee can’t hide her enthusiasm – Cailee is really getting into drawing now vs. scribbling, this was her hand picture, we tried to mail it to Audrey for her party then – Connor wanted to try the big boy swing, he seemed to enjoy…
Cailee and I argued tonight – I think that’s what it was – well, to be honest, I don’t know what it was, but I felt guilty, especially given the context. Here’s the backdrop. Every week she is expected to memorize a verse for Awanas Cubbies (aka Wednesday night church program). Sometimes, she nails it…
I am just loving the weather these days. The leaves have turned brilliant colors, so much that our backyard literally glows when the sun shines through the trees (unfortunately, the leaves never stay on the trees long enough). The fall presents the best advantage and conversely, disadvantage for living in the woods. And as if…
Ok, so all the zoo pictures were of Cailee – well nearly all these park pictures are of Connor – so there! Its equal opportunity photography in this house – everyone hates that I have the camera in their face all the time and yet I do it anyway – so nice. Connor loves this…
We made a pretty spur of the moment decision to visit the zoo today. We weren’t sure what to expect, quite frankly weren’t even sure it was still open this time of year (turns out its open year-round), but we were pleasantly surprised. The weather was awesome, the leaves were turning, there were no crowds…
I think we are all ready for Halloween. We have the costumes and we’ve tried them on. Cailee is going to be Tinkerbell (or a green fairy that looks like Tinkerbell) and Connor is going to be Evel Knievel – if you follow me on Facebook you know that I contemplated this for a while….
We are at the point where Connor is anxious to help himself (particularly when it comes to eating) yet he’s still pretty reckless. He wants to hold the fork or spoon and then just pretty much stabs the food with it, hoping he grabs something. This was his first experience with catsup, but now that…
Cailee breaking in the new Pottery Barn Teen store I’m enjoying the changing leaves in our backyard. JJ is cringing because he knows the falling leaves are coming next. Fun at the fair! Cailee, Miss Flexible, at the hotel pool in Carolina Beach. Connor is obsessed with our drinks now – especially sweet tea –…
