What I am loving this Friday morning.

Nothing for us to do! No reason for me to hurry and get the kids out of their PJ's and into the car.

The sound of toys being dumped out of their baskets? I know, strange, but that means they are using their playroom. Which also means it is cleared out from boxes and moving garbage for them to use it!

And they are playing together.

And a fun weekend planned full of Christmas festivities! Have a good weekend everyone!

Friday! Friday! Busy! Busy!

Hi!

So since we've talked last we've....

Had the exterior of the house painted...

Had our appliances hooked up and wouldn't you know...the first thing to occupy our fridge...a 6 pack! (for all those late nights tiling)

Attended a fun event and had a Mac Kid table. My little guy sells Mac Kid! I love him! Tonight we have the same event although it's 55 and threatening rain here! BRRR!! Maybe won't be as fun as last night. And we'll finish up the last night from 5-9PM tomorrow night, right after I run my first half marathon, pick out mirrors for all the bathrooms in my house and who knows what else will come up on my agenda for tomorrow. :-)

Got our school pictures back. I tell you these are priceless!

Shopped a little bit with my boo who was sportin' her leopard print coat one chilly morning.

Trying on some gear for the half marathon tomorrow.

What can I say? She's Hollywood! :-) (even in the dressing room of Academy Sports)

And having some sibling cuddle time. Lane asked to hold Parker while she drank her milk. So sweet!

Happy Weekend friends! Hope it's a good one!

Happy Friday!!

It's been a while since we've visited the train table. I think Parker was a tiny new born. It wasn't really on "the agenda" today, but after dragging my babies to resolve a lighting issue at the house this morning, I could hardly say no to Lane when we drove by and he said "Trains! I want to go play with the train table!" So I whipped a quick turn around and we made a pit stop. Besides...we :saying this in a whisper: had to go to the tile store later. I'm whispering that because I say that everyday to my kids and they both immediately start to whine.

If I told ya'll that I have been at a tile store (and sometimes 2 different ones in one day) everyday this week I would not be exaggerating. I swore 2 weeks ago that "THIS was the last time I would be stepping in a tile store," because I had been in a tile store everyday that week, I unfortunately was lying to myself. Ugh! I can't tell you my frustration with tile stores. Moving on....

Trains...my boy?...he likes them!

My girl?...not so much into the train table.

Much more interested in crawling around...

and reading.

Okay, who am I kidding? The girl won't sit through the first page of a book. I think she just picked it up at the right moment as I snapped the picture...I was happy it was Barbie because these days she's like crawling around the house ramming tractors into the wall (with a tutu on mind you) and making blow-up sounds and pointing her fingers at me. Do you think I should be worried?!

Wagon Ride

Lane's in the cheesy, fake smile mode.

Parker now says 'chchchzzz' when you point the camera at her...can you hear her saying it here?

Wordless Wednesday {Crafts and Experiments}

We're full of crafts and experiments around here. Lane LOVES 'craps.' (heehee) He asks to do them almost every day.

A Mich Ultra does help me channel my inner Martha...what?! It was past 5 o'clock! ;-)

He cut the 'A' out all by himself. (I did cut out the teeth.)
