Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Oh my goodness, did you hear the news?

We're 5 months old!!!!

C'mon Audrey, let's play!

Get back here! I still want to play!!
Sisters share everything, even piggies and fingers.

Proud Big Brother. He knows how to make them stop crying and laugh. He's the BEST!

Easy Mistake

Please don't be outraged when our son tells you he's pretending to fly a "whore ship" at the playground.

I'm working on it, but for some reason he isn't grasping the "wu" sound in the word "war", and he keeps talking about flying his whore ship.

Another reason we *heart* google

Search: "How do I get slime out of carpet?"

OMGoodness, I DID IT!

I took all three kiddos to the water park for the first time this summer---BY MYSELF!!

After my request for a backyard 3-ft pool was painfully denied, I decided we couldn't take the heat or the indoors anymore. I prayerfully loaded the babies, the gear, and Ethan into the car, and off we went. From the ticket counter to the poolside, we got all kinds of "Oh my" comments, looks, and chuckles, but we pulled it off! We successfully floated around the lazy river for quite awhile, and the girls would have been game for a bit longer, but Ethan was the one to poop out first (he had been at summer camp all morning, so it was a long day for him).

To top it off, I was awarded the prize for the "Crazy Hat" contest. Not for any kind of crazy hat we had...just because the lifeguards decided I was crazy... :) We got two free passes and some bubbles.

OH, and this is so funny...Another mom came over to talk while I was getting the girls ready, and she goes, "Hey, were you the lady at Central Market that one day?" I knew exactly what day she was talking about:
We laughed and agreed that on that day and today, we were "quite a sight"....

What fun!!! :) :) :)

Good Mommy Tip #23

When instituting the "Take A Toy Away" consequence, a good mommy always remembers where said toy is placed for safe keeping so that one week later, she doesn't feel like a total moron when she can no longer remember where it is.

This rule of thumb also applies to items of importance that are moved from one location to another so that they no longer become items of contention between parent and child, such as the emergency weather radio...because when everyone is hiding in the closet during a tornado warning, an emergency weather radio would be handy-dandy if the good mommy could just remember where she moved it.

Now, I'd like to get back to unpacking, but I owe myself the dignity of finding a couple lost items in our home.
