I Have Great Kids

Jazzercise. Post Office. Discount Tire. Sonic. Jiffy Lube. Car Wash. All before 12:00. I'm one proud Momma.

Uh-Oh!

No doubt about it, this girl wants to be just like her bubbas.

Productive

It may not look like much, but to me it's an afternoon of cleaning and organizing the pantry. Feels good to actually accomplish something off the list.

"There's a eh-fant in dere!"

 Daddy, you gonna play your trumpet? Can I dance?

(I missed the best picture, when she got up close and looked inside!)

Carnival Dreamin'

On a brutally hot, summer's day.

But don't tell Carnival that we are drinking our "Kiss On The Lips" out of the glasses we got on our Royal Caribbean cruise!

It Can Be Done

I'd say about 90% of the time.

Playing A Princess Game

With her Daddy.

There's Just Something About That Purple Dinosaur......

On His Way To 2nd Grade!

Out With The Old........

 Waiting for Mom and Dad to come and rescue them.

.........And in with the new.

 Completely fascinated with the way they moved them in! It was like a baby bjorn for appliances!

The inaugural load:

LG - Lookin' Good!

Laundry will be fun - for at least a few weeks!

Superheroes Invade Main Event

 Logan wanted to play Glow Golf at Main Event for his 5th birthday. And he wanted Wolverine on his cake. We invited all his superhero friends to come and help him celebrate last Saturday.

 Everyone donned their capes and fueled up on pizza and cake in the party lair.

 

Wolverine on his cake:

Before taking off for golf, Logan got to open lots of cool stuff from his friends:

Let's play some Glow Golf:

 Thanks Grandma, for the super cool superhero capes! (Their names glowed during golf!)

Every superhero loves to play games:

Logan says it was the best birthday party day EVER!

Heeeeeeere's Vader!

All you need is a mask, a cape, a stick, and a Grandpa to chase you around the house singing the Star Wars Death March. You end up with three kids squealing and screaming in delight!

Party Time!

Show Me Your Funny Face!

We met our friends for the 2nd annual back-to-school breakfast at IHOP this morning. It was a table full of funny faces, with a little sleepy still in their eyes.  Next week will be bittersweet: eager for school to start, but not quite ready to give up the fun-filled days of summer.

What Today's 365 Should Be

A picture of Noah with Mrs. Westbrook, his new teacher for 2nd Grade.

 

What it is:

Noah standing in front of the class lists yesterday. 

This momma is beating herself up for forgetting to take the picture tonight. I had the camera, I meant to do it, I just forgot. Dang it.

Cool Cuts

 

One step closer to being ready for school to start!

(I told Noah he looks like Lewis from Meet The Robinsons!)

Summer, Sun, and Schlitterbahn

 The kiddos.

 Waiting in line for the Congo float.

 Floatin' the Falls.

 Playing on the pirate ship and swimming like a mermaid!

 Ahoy, Captain Logan!

 Cruisin' the Kristal River. Logan found his courage and climbed out of the tube to float/swim in his life jacket.

 Swimming with Luke.

 Taking a gator ride.

Mommy and her girl - before she fell asleep!

A totally fun day, with fun friends, at a super fun place!
