Three or more things

1) Junior- junior celebrated his third birthday this last week.  It’s hard to believe he’s already 3.  Where has the time gone? 

His birthday cake…  Err, cupcakes.

Trying to blow out the candles.  A bit too far away =)

Got it!

Success!  Sometimes you have to be your own cheerleader.

    

What is a birthday without blue frosting all over your face?

2)  We visited the Dallas Arboretum while the grandparents were here.  Lots of pumpkins and great photo ops.

Sarge wants a cottage just like this someday.

 

I want this water feature someday.

 

This one was pretty neat too, but wouldn’t last.  The pumpkins would eventually start to spoil.

 

  

3)  Good to know we won’t have to be spending lots of money on clothes for the kids.  We’ll just let them wear daddy’s =)

 

4)  Last time we were on vacation, our laptop got stepped on.  I think I finally found the perfect picture as a background.

I can still see all the kids =)

5)  Yesterday’s walk to the park was a lot of fun.  Junior rode his bike the whole way and Girly- girl walked/ ran almost the entire way.  Junior- junior, of course, just chilled in the chariot.

The turtles were out sunning themselves.

The only way to go down a slide.

  

Junior finally conquered the twisted ladder.  It’s hard to keep him off of it now.

Three Things for Thursday

1) My in- laws are coming into town for a couple days.  The kids are so excited.  I’m surprised they’re not up yet ready to go to the airport to get them lol!

2) Junior had the chance to spend some of his hard earned AWANA bucks last night.  He decided to only spend $30 of the $70 he had.  And, he bought 3 identical items.  One for him, one for Girly- girl and one for Junior- junior.  All this without us telling him to.  Gotta love when your kids start thinking about others =)

3)  Finally had a chance to make it to the Dallas Farmers Market.  Why has it taken me this long to realize what a great place it is?  The kids loved seeing all the different fruits and vegetables and keep asking when we’re going to go back.

The day we went, they had a kids’ area set- up and the kids got balloon animals.  The boys picked spiders and Girly- girl picked a blue pumpkin…  Because it looked the most like Cinderella’s coach =)

The Writing is on the Wall…

Or at least Girly- girl’s door.  She was so proud of her drawing.

But I think she was even happier to see it “disappear.”

Who knew that toothpaste could remove crayon from painted surfaces without removing the paint.

Three Things

Missed a couple weeks again.  Thursdays just sneak up on me and by the time I realize it’s Thursday, it’s actually Friday =)

1)  Junior- junior had an incident last week where his eyes swelled shut.  One doctor said it was just allergies, but the Benadryl did nothing.  Thankfully his regular doctor realized it was an infection and prescribed antibiotics.  Within a couple days he no longer looked like a baby Klingon.

 

2)  Then he found a marker and wanted a tattoo.

 

3)  I ran a 10k this last weekend.  I helped a pace a friend in their first 10k and under their goal of 55 minutes.  Funny thing is I still managed to take 3rd in my age group.  So now I have a picture of me with the Pumpkin Dude.
