Spirit Days at School

This was spirit week at preschool. I didn't get pictures of all the days, but did remember to pull out the camera this day, crazy day. We did the hair especially crazy and asked the girls to pick out some crazy clothes to go with it. They were supposed to not match, and I think they did pretty good.

A nice back of the head view.Lastly the next morning, I couldn't help it, she looked so peaceful in her yoga pose, in our bed, maybe this is why I can't ever find room in my bed??

Home Depot here we come

How could you pass up on a free, yes I said free craft at Home Depot? This month we made piggy banks, the girls did a great job on their fire house piggy banks!



Tori did a great job helping to put hers together.

Abby looks right at home with the hammer...it is in the genes!

Grandma and Grandpa come to visit

I was able to talk my parents into coming for a visit to over Labor day. The timing was right and they were excited to see where we lived, so here they came...day one they were one their own and took the kids to the Children's museum. The next day we all went to the zoo. We loved it so much that we went back 2 days later. The zoo here is so big that we could go for 2 more days and still not see any of the same exhibits.

The second time we went we got to go inside the jungle.

Here Tori, my mom and I are crossing the rickety bridge

Abby, prior to her visit to the car for the remainder of the trip...

The beautiful view from inside the jungle.

Tori enjoying all the attention as she eats her cookie next to the octopus.

And outside the butterfly exhibit...
Do they look alike??
Watching the tigers,with Grandma...her favorite thing at the zoo by far!

Enjoying the view from atop Grandpa.

Overall a good day, Tori enjoyed the zoo and Abby enjoyed the car...well at least a good day for Tori, I just felt bad Chris had to go with Abby.

Spirt Week

The girls had spirit week at school this week, this had to by favorite day, it was crazy hair day. So I let them dress themselves(not to abnormal) and then did their hair.

How could you not love 3 weirdly placed ponies?

What in the world is that??

When Abby woke up on Monday she had all these awful spots/rash on her body.

We didn't know what it was, so after a couple days we took her to the Doctor who said it was hives, a reaction to something she ate.

A couple days later she has another reaction...the culprit...peanuts. So she is off peanuts or peanut products for the duration...lucky us!

JDRF Walk

Today the family, including the dog, headed down to the river for a charity walk for JDRF. Thanks to all those who donated for the cause!

On the way Abby and Tori found 2 friends from day care and walked the whole way with them.

Tori enjoying some of the water present, and there was a lot there!!

After the walk the girls each got to do face painting, Tori of course chose an alligator...

Abby's choice was a ladybug!

It was a nice walk and made even nicer by the new jogging stroller that I finally broken down and purchased off of Craig's list!

FHE Treat

Ice scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!!
