Yes, I know. Allie looks like she's been beaten with a stick. But if you could look past the band aids and the scratches and the bruises, you'll notice that she is wearing several accessories. On her right hand is my wedding ring, her left hand is my new Stella and Dot ring, and her toe is my Silpada ring. The girl has expensive taste!


A couple of weeks ago I cleaned out Stewart's room and got rid of an embarrassing amount of junk. Instead of donating some of it, Stewart opted to have a garage sale. So this morning in the 90 million percent humidity and gail force winds we attempted to have just that. After an hour Stew got bored so we gave up. We never sold anything :( But at least the kids had a blast! He wants to try again on Monday when "The kids will be walking home from school." Quite the little entrepreneur!

Stewart Turns 7

Stewart's birthday was a big one this year. Stephen was home so the boys went to the Mammoth Dig Site in Waco. Stewart's big present this year was a computer. He was so surprised! On his birthday I brought him lunch and then he and his classmates had cupcakes. Then for dinner we all went to Chuck E Cheese. It was a big day!

Allie's Tea Party

So you spend hundreds of dollars on toys and the kids plays with the box, right? Miss Allie even has a REAL tea set. And yet today she had a "tea party" with her My Little Ponies using cupcake liners, stacking cups, and Tupperware. The menu: fishie crackers, paper clips, dry noodles and apple juice. Mmmmmmm.

Bluebonnets

Its a Texas tradition to have you pictures taken with the bluebonnets every year. Last year the drought made it next to impossible to find them anywhere. This year they were blooming everywhere!

But for one reason or another we could never make it out to take pictures. So today, despite the rain and mud, I took the kids out to the field behind CPMS and took their pictures. Of course, they didn't want to be near each other so I couldn't get one good picture of the two of them. NOT ONE! I did get these though:

New boots, big girl bed, Grammie and Papa, and misc.

Ok so alot has happened since my last post...

I bought myself a new pair of boots for my birthday. They are fabulous and I love them!

Allie got a big girl bed for her birthday. A daybed. It came two days ago and, thankfully, Stephen just happened to be home to put it together. Grammie is making a quilt for it so for now it just has these cute sheets I bought at Target.

Grammie and Papa visited this week. They took Stewart to see How to Train Your Dragon and he loved it. Grammie bought Allie a tea set and now its her new favorite toy. Stewart and Grammie colored easter eggs but they were too cute to hide (according to Stewart) so they are still sitting in the fridge :)

Um...i guess that's it people! I feel like there's more but I can't think of it just now. Off to chase Allie!
