Ice Cream, Hawaiian Day & the Zoo...It's been a good week.

By -
This week we had the chance to go to Baskin Robins for 31 cent scoop night. I confess, I'm not sure how many scoops we actually went through, but it was super cheap. And Hey, how often can I really afford to take out our family of 6 for ice cream? It was yummy & we had a fun time too.Of course, we must wear a big ring while eating our ice cream....and make sure to show it off.I can have another?How could you not love this face??Cheesey Chocolate Girl! Look Ma! I'm messy!Amelia & Adam had a Hawaiian Spirit day this week. I picked up a few things for them @ the dollar store & they went with it. We even had an extra flower or 2 for the little girls to wear. The girls already had these outfits, so I didn't have to buy them. However, I did notice that I will not be letting Mia wear those shorts much this summer. They're a little too LITTLE to wear without the grass skirt over them.My Cuties...
Yesterday, the kids had the day off & I took them to our local zoo. We had a fun time with friends & enjoyed the time outdoors...even if I did get a little sunburned.Mia waiting for the sea lion feeding.More waiting...What a good looking group!Me & the kids...Say cheese!Allison was fascinated by this periscope. I loved watching her look in, look around, take another look, etc. So cute!This was another favorite. Adelaide "petting" the BUG (Madagascar Hissing Cockroach). She was the only one of my mob brave enough. Ew! Gives me the creeps just looking. Yuck!

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.
