Bubby and sissy

I wasn't the best at taking photos today but I did get a cute video of the kiddos playing 

Hit the road Jack

You're on your way back to IL and I'm getting ready to go to bed, I just wanted your kids to say good night to you.

Video bonanza

Since you've only seen still photos of the kids here are a few videos....

Whenever we drive past my parents neighborhood he says "Bop Bop"

He's fianlly getting the hang of the slide!

Tummy time

Fish fry!

Since today was the first day of the fish fry I had to go!  It didn't take much convincing to get my Mom on board.  We luckly beat the crowd but definitely didn't beat the heat.  Alex was all about the fish at first but once he had a taste of the french fries and applesauce he was over the fish.  Remember last year when I had to work the fish fry right after we found out we were pregnant with Erin?  I felt terrible!  We saw Mac (which my Dad asked me later if Mac remembered my Mom...) and the ladies who sit in front of us at church.

"These french fries are great, I wish got to eat them more often."

Tonight was bath night and how cute is this little stinker wrapped up in her pink towel.  Alex stayed the night with Mallory at Grandma and Bop Bop's.  They wore my Mom OUT!  Luckly Melissa is there to help because you know my Dad didn't come out of his office...

Half way there

So my day started off with me having very little patience.  Nothing happened to make me that way I just woke up on edge.  I had breakfast with Kelly and Courtney at Patachou and on my way there I did a lot of praying.  God was listening because he made the rest of my day go smoothly.

Alex kept giving Tank his crayons which Tank then ate.  What is it with dogs eating crayons???

I took Alex outside to play with his sand box, he saw Ava (and her friend Natalie - who lives behind them to the right) outside and journeyed over there.  Ava is such a sweet little girl, she complimented Alex's new haircut.

Erin over at Grandma and Bop bop's house.

Tomorrow is the fish fry so be prepared for me to torture you with photos from there.  We miss you but hope you're learning lots.

Long day

We didn't leave the house until about 2 today, the weather was just so-so so it seems like we didn' miss out on much. Staying inside makes for a long day so both the kids went to bed early.

Hi Daddy, I finally pooped today!  See how big of a girl I am? I don't stay on my belly long anymore.

Morning!  This is one of Mommy's favorite things to see starting off the day. 

Yes, posing in my blue diapers.  Who know diapers could be so cute.

I have no clue what Alex was doing here but I had to get a photo.  This is what he does to me when I adjust him.

I took Alex to Cookie Cutters today although I wish there were other options for places to take him.  Everytime I go I get the same lady and she gets very impatient with him.  I want to tell her, "you work at a place that is geared to kids, you have to expect them to look around, watch everyone else and not sit still."

No tears for this boy!

Since Erin has no hair to cut she came with us so I had to get a photo of her haging out with Mommy.  Classy huh?

Post-haircut. Big Boy!!!!!

Day 1

We had a pretty uneventful day today.  Kids woke up at 7, we all played, Erin napped, Alex ate, etc.  Erin did have another CST appt. today.  Lynne said she is doing very well and I definitely saw more of an improvement during today's appt. than last weeks.  All that work she did today must have worn her out, she took a 3 hour nap!  Still no poops though, tomorrow will be day 5.  I took the kids for a walk before bedtime.  Alex loved it of course but half-way thru Erin was over it.

Alex could have colored all day.  After having to tell him about 4 dozen times that coloring is done at the table only and finding crayon marks on the wall we finally had to stop.

This was Erin during the second half of our walk...

I bet this photo makes you hear Alex saying "apple"

Erin and her baby blues.

Well we all miss you and look forward to seeing you on Sat. (even if it is only for 24 hours).  BTW, there is a Tosh.0 marathon on right now...
