Picture of the Week: Playing at the Park


Monday was Labor Day, and since we were all off work/school, we spent the morning at the park playing in the gorgeous weather.







We hit up the Halloween store, because that's one of Daddy and the girls' favorite things to do. They always open the first weekend in September, and you bet these weirdos were counting down the days.


She sang in the car on the way home.


The girls helped me make some turkey meatballs, and they turned out so good. We ate them over some zucchini noodles with red sauce.






We went through the girls backpacks to get them ready for school the next day. They love to show us their artwork that they bring home.




Grace's class celebrated all of the summer birthdays, and her teacher made them some cute little gifts.


Perry and Brielle played together at school, and their teacher sent me these cute pictures.



Perry rode her "bike" in the front yard, and I cringed at her bare feet on the asphalt.


I came across this and loved it.


Grace left us some post-its on the fridge to let us know what she wanted in her lunch the next day and also to remind us that it was picture day.


Perry talked to her little mouse toy at Char's soccer practice.



Grace had crazy hair day at school, and her teacher sent us this cute picture.


The girls had their first soccer games on Saturday. They both moved up this season, so Grace is on a much bigger field with six girls on the field, a bigger net and an official goalie. Char now has four girls on the field and the coach stays on the sidelines. They both played hard, and we're excited for them to learn more this season.


Perry scored a goal at half time.


Perry tried her hardest not to fall asleep on Charley's bed while they watched a movie.


The girls painted some Halloween crafts on Sunday.



Painting wore Perry out, and she napped while I watched the Titans game.


Her face shows my exact feelings as all of the Titans seemed to be going down with injuries one after another.


We had more zpaghetti with pink sauce this time, and it was another hit with the girls.


See ya next week!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
