So this afternoon we had Acacia over for a few hours. The kids played outside for awhile and then came in and we watched the new Tinkerbell movie that just came on video. I gave the kids popcorn and sat them on my old tinkerbell blanket. After awhile they weren't so much watching the movie, but running around, maybe like fairies, I don't know. It comes to a point in the movie were they're trying to save one of the fairies and the girls start going, "We have to save her!" I think Carter said something like, "How will they save her?" or something like that. Savannah says to him, "Well, we have to save her, but we can't jump in the tv! If we jump in the tv, it will break!" We both just looked at one another and grinned. Oh, the mind of an almost 4 year old.

Another funny thing that Savannah has been saying lately, as well as tonight for whatever reason it was, is goonies. Yes, as in boys goonies. As most Dads will agree, you don't want to be hit there. And with kids, it's very likely. So, whenever the kids get a little too close, Carter will have to remind them to not hit his goonies. Anyway, one day she got hit down there or something and said, "Oh, my goonies!". I laughed and said, "Sweetie, you don't have goonies, boys have goonies". She'll occasionally reference it now, but she makes sure to clarify. "Girls don't have goonies. Daddy has goonies. And Cooper has goonies. But you (me) and me don't have goonies". Yes, that is correct. And I don't think she really even knows what "goonies" are, thank goodness. She's never been one of those kids that sees her brother and starts asking "What's that?". Anyway, I know that's a funny topic, but it's still cute to me.

Playdate with Acacia

Acacia came over for a playdate the other day while her Mom had to run an errand. We had fun! We made some cute little bags while Cooper napped and then went outside to play. Cooper heard us outside and woke up because of course, he wanted to play too. They had popsicles and played on the jungle gym. They all had some much fun and Acacia is coming over again tomorrow! Oh, and these pictures were pre-haircut for Cooper. See how out of control it was....

Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum

We went to the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum about a week and a half ago. We've been wanting to go for awhile now. You should know that Savannah loves dinosaurs. She watches the "Dinosaur Train" on PBS every morning and has never shown any fear of dinosaurs. Until she saw the large boned dinosaurs up close and personal. She wouldn't even look at them. Totally afraid and covered her eyes until we moved on to something other than looking at dinosaurs. She did however love searching for little dinosaurs in this large water sand area. Both the kids didn't really want to leave that area but we had to so we could make the movie they were showing in time. It was about a fly who goes to the moon and it was 3-D. Mommy and Daddy aren't such a fan of the 3-D. Makes us all wooozzy. I think it actually scared Savannah a few times with things jumping out at her. After that short movie we went into the sand pit area where you get to use paint brushes and search for large dinosaur fossils. They really loved that part too. Cooper tasted some sand and threw it around. We had this large area to ourselves for quite some time and then a ton of kids came in. Of course, right when we wanted to leave. And Savannah never wants to leave her "friends". It was a fun time for the kids, eventhough their wasn't a lot of time spent on looking at dinosaurs.

August Happenings

Our Anniversary was on the 13th and we had made plans for a fun evening, and then somehow I came down with some 2 day bug right smack in the middle of it. I had the worst sore throat, body aches and other stuff that now I can't even remember, but I wasn't even sure if I wanted to do anything. Luckily, that evening I was feeling a little better and my throat pain wasn't feeling like razorblades anymore and I felt like I might be able to actually eat and enjoy some food. We decided to take the kids with us because we didn't want anyone to get sick while watching them. We felt like we had some kind of bug in the house. We went to "The Pie" pizzeria. We'd never been together. I went with a bunch of girls from work before Carter and I got married and he went with friends once or twice. Anyway, I remember the pizza being good. And huge. Anyway, this pizza wasn't the best. It was a hawaiian one and I was totally expecting some really great canadian bacon on it. This tasted like deli ham slapped on there. And, no joke, their was like an inch of cheese on the whole thing. And you know how I feel about cheese. Carter even though it was a little weird. We like to refer to it as the "slab of cheese". However, their breadsticks were really good. I think we just ordered the wrong kind of pizza for us. After dinner we had to go looking for a new carseat for Cooper because his was broke. We then went to Maggie Moos and got brownie sundaes and all shared. It wasn't the day we thought it would be, but we still managed to do something. And we were able to see two movies the next week!

We celebrated Kacey's birthday last week!

Too funny.

We ate pizza at the park and then went to Chuck E Cheese with Acacia, Larissa and Jake on the 31st. The boys were nice and mostly watched the kids and us girls got to chit chat. The kids always have so much fun together! Cooper was not a fan of the "on stage Chuck" who moved a little. Cooper freaked out! Carter and I can't get over how gorgeous Savannah looks in her car seat!


We came home from Chuck E Cheese and the kids were hungry again after all the playing. Cooper scarfed down on pizza. He can't get enough of it apparently!

Let's see...what else did we do this month? We saw Shrek 4 at the dollar theater. We made some fun purchases and have been re-arranging furniture and decorating. I'll post and talk about that when it's done....so don't hold your breath too long. And we got TV again!! With DVR! Oh, the little things....oh wait, that was this month.
