Another fun-filled Saturday in our great backyard! Have I mentioned how much we LOVE having a backyard? ;-) This was just last weekend! (Yep that's right I'm almost caught up!) It was such a great Labor Day weekend, we kicked it off by asking the kids before they went to bed on Friday to each tell us one thing that they wanted to do the next day...and 1. it had to be fun, and 2. it had to cost little to nothing, and we promised we'd do it! Of course they loved that idea! Carson said he wanted to play baseball outside, Lilli said she wanted to make cookies, and Landon just said, "bubbles" So Saturday morning we woke up ate breakfast and started our busy, fun Saturday! I managed to get some pictures of the days activities minus the cookies...forgot to take pics of that. The kids had fun though and they really liked that they got to pick what we were going to do.Landon loved the bubbles, he always eats more than he manages to blow out though. Carson was so excited to play baseball with Daddy...he's becoming a good little ball player, I'm thinking T-ball may be in our very near future! And Lilli definently has her mommy's love for baking! I had to duck out in the middle of the day because I was on a mission to find the boys some bunk beds and really thought I should take advantage of all the Labor Day Sales! I was successful and of course those pics will be coming up. Oh also there are a few pics of the new play set that we were blessed to receive! My dad called Chris one day and said that one of his clients called asking for them to come and remove it and get rid of it and told my dad if anyone wanted it they could have it...so lucky us for being in the right place at the right time! It's a great play set, in good condition a few of the pieces of wood were rotted out buy my handy hubby did a great job of changing the wood out and he and one of his friends put it all together. Though technically there is still an arm that attaches that has the swings and teeter totter, and it needs sand for the sandbox...still waiting for that before I call it job done! (hint hint Chris)I love that it has two slides (cuts down on the crying) and that it has a climbing wall on the other side. The kids also really love that the bottom is an enclosed little room or their "fort." It's great and I'm so happy we got it but more happy we had a great big backyard to put it in!
Super Funny Kids Quotes!
New Quotes.:
I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."
Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"
I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)
On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"
We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."
When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)
We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
