Happy Birthday Aunt Melanie!

Hope your day has been a smooth ride!

Can't wait to see you!

Built in babysitter!

We were all outside and I was trying to figure out how to keep Oreo contained while we were outside...

I figured it out!  Built in babysitter... hook his leash to Carleigh's collar!  Hehehehe!

She

LOST 

her job

(and PAY)

after she drug him into the disgusting muddy swampy weeds.  

Urgh....

Basketball Star?

I looked outside and I found that Morgan had... taken the basketball net out of the garage, raised it to the highest level, drew lines on the ground to shoot from, and what shooting baskets.  Most of which were going in!  (Even if she was doing the underhand throw from her knees throws!)

Love how she entertains herself!!  (Oh... and check out the poses too... silly girl!)

Tooth number 2!!!!

Guess who lost her second tooth last night?!  Yuppers -- Morgan!!  It was a bit of a 'traumatic' ordeal...

Let's run through the events of last night... Morgan had her last day of soccer, then we headed to drop off my car for repairs.  It was late... and we had not eaten supper yet... so we stopped at a pizzeria.  They served complimentary bruschetta.  She took one bite and started to cry.  (Her tooth has been pretty wiggly.)  It started to bleed just a little... then the tears started... and DID.NOT.STOP!  She was sighing and crying throughout the entire supper (which was delicious!) and would not eat one bite of her mac-n-cheese because it hurt too much.  (On a side note... RJ ate his ENTIRE plate of noodles, you go kiddo!)

We stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home.  Of course, Morgan had no problem eating her entire (mini) blizzard!  She was starving after all!  As we were driving home she kept saying her tooth hurt.  I kept asking her if she wanted me to pull it out.  (That would be fun!)  Screaming 'NO' was her consistent answer!!

We pulled into our development and stopped to get the mail.  As soon as I got out of the car to get the mail I hear nervous giggling from Morgan and then... "I pulled it out."  Sure enough she yanked that tooth out!  Good girl!!!

Tooth fairy will arrive pronto!  We got home and secured her tooth in it's tooth fairy resting place... in a little treasure chest inside a 'tooth' pillow hanging on her bureau!  I asked her if we should keep her door cracked (as our handles to our doors are very loud!!!) and she answered, "Silly Momma, the tooth fairy is magic and will probably come in the window."  Duh... I forgot she comes through the window!  You are right Morgan, the window!!

Off to sleep (LATE) we all went.  This morning she awoke to find a gold coin and two dimes!  One dime for each tooth she has lost!  Lucky little girl! 

Banana Split Dog?

So silly Morgan... and Carleigh obliges! Silly doggie!

Goodbye Julia :(

Today was a sad day for Morgan as she had to say goodbye to a new friend that has been like a sister for the last 10 days!!

Julie, We hope you had a great time while you were with us!  Julie, if you read this... we really enjoyed having you and you played so nicely with both Morgan and RJ but you really need to respect your elders and follow the rules!!  It is very important that you follow others' rules so that you can be liked and loved for your sweet personality!

And off Julie goes!

Playground & Cupcakes

Since we went to church last night we had the whole day yo play today! After completing our chores, we headed to the park. 

We bought donuts the day before and forgot to eat them for breakfast, so I figured, hey, lets eat them for lunch because the kiddos will be running around anyway!  Burning off tons of calories!!  (oh... I did not eat one... trying to be good... right now...)

After they ate their donuts off to play they went!

They came back to me for snacks throughout the next couple hours, yogurt, cheese, crackers, blueberries, and lots of water!

After the playground we came home and took nap time.  After naps we made and decorated our cupcakes for dessert tonight! 

Yum!

Pool & Pizza - - Not together!

After doing some chores around the house and running a quick few errands, off to the pool we went!  It was a bit cloudy and 'cool' (relatively speaking!) and the pool was practically empty!

After the pool we came home for naps! After naps we found out that the movie night in the park under the stars had to be postponed because of the constant rain that was predicted to fall... which it did... fell all evening.

We made English Muffin pizzas for supper and it was the first time that Julie didn't complain about eating and she at all of it!  Morgan nor RJ complained either, a good food for all!

After supper we pulled out a blanket and watched Brave in our family room with popsicles/ice cream/popcorn treats to pretend we were outside!
