B

Haha. Decided to stamp a "B" for Boiled on the eggs. Lexi loves it! If I let her she would eat like 3 eggs every single day. stinker. 

Walking to Pick up Jacob

New Bed

New Bunk Bed! Our good friends were moving so we got a great deal! :) The kids love their new bed. My son, of course, thinks its too dangerous...but we've managed not to break and bones the first week. Lexi loves to play on the top bunk while Jacob is at school. She's so sneaky. Fun stuff. 

Ten bucks if you guess what she's wearing.

Ten More Bucks if you keep the answer to yourself. wow. it was still hilarious. 

Surf's Up!

I'm crazy. I iron Jacob's shirts and shorts everyday. Yes, including jeans, cargos, jersey collar tops. I.am.nuts.

So I wanted a cute little ironing board that I can plop on the bathroom counter or table or whatever to iron super fast. And...my children broke my lovely ironing board that my aunt gave me on my wedding day. Clear throat. Choke. Dry tear. Kill children. No...but really I was sad.

So Lexi and I picked out the one pictured above...yes...her eyes are closed, better picture would have been excellent. But I felt UBER silly taking snapshots in the exit isles of walmart.

When she saw the board she said, "Look MOM! I'm a surfing penguin!" That's awesome. My kiddos love the movie Surf's Up. haha.

My girl is a cute one.

Mommy Paparazzi!

fun stuff. 

Today is my Heath's birthday!

Lexi and I took him to Chili's for lunch. Shortly after we arrived Heath received a work phone call...My kiddos are very well behaved when daddy gets a call. Lexi immediately went into quiet mode as we looked over the menu. When the waitress arrived and greeted us, Lexi shushed her and said, "Quiet! Daddy is on the phone!" Insert dirty look from Lexi and shocked look from nice (crappy) waitress.

Bahahahaha! Fun Stuff.

For a fun dinner at home we had sushi! Of course...giving me the excuse to buy white rectangle appetizer dishes to make the sushi look cute! (wait...who's birthday is it? hehe)

Heath's cake was a William-Sonoma recipe for Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache.
It was yum yum yum. It gave me an excuse to buy a nice bundt pan and a new flour sifter. :) And of course, try a new recipe!

Heath's Birthday gift won't arrive in the mail until tomorrow. :( shoot. I timed that wrong. But an extra $10 of shipping. That would increase the cost by 19% No.Thank.You. I'd rather spend that on 8 little sushi rolls. ;) Don't judge my priorities!

One year older and wiser too! Happy Birthday! To You!

More school adventures

Professional Walker! :)

Had to wear her little pink ring during the walk today. In this picture she said, "Hey mom! Take a picture of my cute ring!"

Jacob's cheese and ham inspired by my mom telling me that I used to love having gingerbread shaped food in my lunch growing up. Cute! So the first day he had ham and cheese cut with the letter J. :) I'm a dork and I love this fun stuff.

My cute little walkers :)

New Book

This is the next little chapter book we're going to read together. I'm so excited!!

First Day of Kindergarten!!!

He's so cute :) He wanted every shot to include his new Transformers Lunch Box

School is close by so we will be walking to school in the mornings and walking home on the days that the weather is good. (will that ever happen here in Texas?:) The walk is 20 minutes each way. Sooner or later I'll add a jogging stroller into the mix...so I can get a little more exercise than a leisurely walk with the kiddos. I love the time we have to walk together.

Cheesy smile. Jacob marched right into the classroom, put his backpack in the cute lockers that look like he's in a high school, then sat right down. He was so ready to get started.

Then, he got right to work! I had to practically beg him to say goodbye to me :) That's better than the alternative that's for sure. No tears, no screaming. Awesome.

After school he was so excited to tell me all about this fun thing they do in the gym called "P.E." Cute right?!!

Later when Jacob and I had what he calls our "ABC Date" he started our learning session by laying out all the ground rules for us if we're going to be on the "green paw coyote team". I think that has something to do with being a good student at school. He was so excited while talking about it and I was cracking up. He told me the rules, which must have some resemblance of the real ones but I can't be sure... :) At least this is what he got out of it...

Rule #1 Don't touch anything.

Rule # 2 Do not eat.

Rule #3 Don't do anything else.

Rule #4 Don't kill anyone.

(seriously? how did he get that one)

OK, so those rules sound like a prison. He was very stern and told them to me over and over until I wrote them on a sticky note and drew a green paw on the top. Its was hilarious. I swear he had a blast at school yesterday! hehe. He said it was a long day and he loved it.

At the end of the day when I was tucking him in he was so cute and asked if dad was going to give him another Father's blessing before his 2nd day of school. So sweet. One of the moments that I wish would just last forever.

ps..just looked it up...its .7 miles to the school.
