Home Sweet Home!

Instead of a huge post, I thought I'd put pictures on of the rooms in the new house as they are slowly de-cluttered and put into some sense of normalcy...

Things The Kids Say

I thought I'd post about some funny things the kids have been saying lately...

When we told Natalie she'd have to switch schools when we move, instead of being concerned about new a new teacher and friends, she says "ugh! Do I have to start kindergarten ALL over again?!"

I've been trying to buy organic fruits and veggies, which Harmon's has a larger selection of.  Their carrots have the green stems still on them, which Drake loves.  The other day we were driving around when he asked "mom, can we go to Harmon's and get some real Bugs Bunny carrots?"

For the past few weeks, Drake has been on a real privacy kick.  He wants to get dressed in his room, he wants to take his own bath, etc.  So the other night he was getting ready to take his bath when he called me to come turn his water on.  He thought I hadn't heard him, so he came running into the living room buck naked, holding an 8 x 10 photo over his booty and the light-up moon Robert and Palma gave him for his birthday over his boy parts so no one would see him in the nude!

The other day I bought a sack of marshmallows for treats.  The kids have been driving me crazy asking for them incessantly, so last night I put the sack in my room- out of sight, out of mind, right?  Right.  Today, Drake wanted to play outside.  I told him he had to get dressed.  He didn't want to and went off to his room to sulk instead.  A minute later I heard him wandering from room to room crying for Kelton.  This is what I heard next:
"Daaaaddy!  Daaaaaaddy!  Daaaad- oh, marshmallows!"

First Day of First Grade!

This day showed up too quickly...


Kindergarten was one thing, but this is school school... six and a half hours a day, complete with packing her lunch every morning, which is way fun!

 She had a great day, loved her lunch, and did her homework as soon as she got home!

Meeting the Sister Wives!

Guess who we ran into at the park today?


Kody and Robyn Brown from the show "Sister Wives"!  They were very nice (and Robyn very pregnant) and they even let me snag a photo with them!

Water Park!

We had a great time at the water park on Main today! The weather was perfect, about 90 or so, and the sky was a little overcast...so no sunburns!








Natalie's "mermaid" picture...








Drake was being a shark...


I don't know how I managed to snap this picture with both these kids looking so faded!





Drake saw me taking his picture while he was running and thought it was just beyond awesome, so he proceeded to run back and forth, back and forth, while yelling "mom, I'm running! Take my picture! I'm running, mom!"
