Summer Fun

By -
My intention was to let the girls play in the sprinkler, but we had a few issues with it. So, we ended up just taking turns with the hose. I think they still had fun... What do you think?


Amelia is the older sister & had a harder time letting Adelaide take her turn.


They both thought it was great to spray the other & also to be the one running away.


I told Mia to spray herself. I didn't quite mean for her to spray herself inthe face. It was funny though. Boy, was she ever surprised!


Allison stayed away from the other girls (for the most part). She was able to find one little puddle to step in. It really was more of a wet spot on the concrete rather than a puddle. This didn't stop her from stepping & jumping. Too cute!

The wind was blowing, and Adelaide got cold but didn't want to go in the house. So, she crawled underneath the toddler climber thing & curled up there for a while.

Well, along came Allison.

Can you still see Adelaide curled up in the back? She was a little crowded.
Allison was also thrilled to discover that she is now big enough & coordinated enough to climb up onto the climber & go down the slide. Apparently, she is also able to climb UP the slide. She had a BLAST!

The pic of her spraying herself in the face is a classic! Too funny. And the fact that little Allison wants to be a part of everything her big sisters do is so sweet! Cute girls Kim, very cute girls!!

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
