Wordless Wednesday - Just Another Day At The Park
Posted by Libby Design Labels: Kids, Wordless Wednesdays
Don't ask me how, but it looks like we may have a new family member. Meet "Boots" everyone!
Over the weekend we figured we'd take advantage of our annoyingly windy conditions and let the kids fly kites for the first time. Carson was ECSTATIC and was quite the kite flying machine!!
Over the weekend we did a landscape project (tearing up the nappy sod along side our driveway that gets snow heaped on it and replacing it with landscape rock - you can see it a little in the photo on the left side). As we were shoveling the rock yesterday Peyton decided to "help". She was SO proud of herself. She kept saying "I help you, okay? Yeah!". I bet she made at least 15 trips from the rock pile to where we were dumping the rock. Thanks for being such a good helper, Peyton!
Love this!
Sorry, I know "Wordless Wednesday" technically means post a picture WITHOUT words, but I just have a tough time NOT writing something!! Anyway...some of you have heard me talk about Peyton's friend Carter from ECSE. From day 1 of school she came home talking about "Carter". I had no idea at the time that Carter would end up pretty much becoming family!! It's been fun to see their "friendship" grow, and even though Carter doesn't always have a lot to say, they've become the best of friends!! Here are a few pictures of Peyton & Carter - some of them walking down the hall together after school (they recently took their friendship to a new level - holding hands as they walk down the hall - so cute!!) and then there's a picture of them at Peyton's birthday party. Thank you Carter for being such a good friend to Peyton...even though she can be a little bossy sometimes!
Wordless Wednesday - First Trip To The Dentist
Posted by Libby Design Labels: Kids, Wordless WednesdaysLast Friday I took the little man in for his first dentist appointment. He did GREAT!! The hygienist and dentist were laughing because he was so relaxed with this legs all crossed in the chair...it was hilarious! Great job little buddy!!
I shot this while we were at Underwater Adventures at the Mall of America a few weeks ago. Carson thought it was the COOLEST thing that he got to "pet a seahorse" through the glass!
Wordless Wednesday - Just Another Day At The Zoo
Posted by Libby Design Labels: Kids, Wordless WednesdaysHere's a picture of the kids I snapped quick over Easter weekend while we were about to enter the Grizzly Bear exhibit at the Minnesota Zoo. What a fun place!!
Wordless Wednesday - Little Miss Empathetic
Posted by Libby Design Labels: Kids, Wordless WednesdaysWhile we were in Florida on spring break we visited The Shell Factory which is basically a big warehouse full of bins piled high of every shell you could imagine. Right by the check out counter there were a couple of life-size pirate statues...one was a skeleton dressed in pirate clothing and then there was this guy sitting down who had a creepy eye and apparently was another pirate. Well Peyton saw the guy who was sitting down and instantly ran over to him. She stood there staring at him trying to figure out what to think, then she started talking to him and said, "You sad? I hug you." She was SO worried about him - she kept asking me "He crying? Have owie on eye?"
She's such an empathetic little thing!!
Well, this is a "late-in-the-day" Wordless Wednesday post, but we made it to Florida and started our week of fun!! Here's a picture I took of Carson this afternoon jumping in the pool to Papa Jim. That kid has NO fear!! Tomorrow we're off to spend the day at the beach!!
I know I've said this before, but Peyton absolutely LOVES animals, especially dogs. This is how she spent a lazy afternoon while we were visiting my family up in Duluth for Christmas...lounging with her buddy Page.
Wordless Wednesday - Florida Here We Come!!!
Posted by Libby Design Labels: Kids, Wordless WednesdaysLet the countdown begin!!! Two weeks from today we'll be on our way to Florida!!!! Enjoy this pic of Carson from last March livin' the high life on the beach with his ice cream sandwich (with a little extra emphasis on the "SAND" part).
Peyton & my mom had matching outfits last Saturday while we were up visiting. Peyton thought it was pretty cool to look like Grandma!! And Carson just had to be in the picture with the girls...he was pretty proud of his "matching" brown pants. :)
I stumbled across this picture from 2006 and it made me laugh. I'd forgotten about how Peyton loved to climb in the big storage cupboard under in our entertainment center. I'd come downstairs and couldn't figure out where she was. Then I'd hear her saying one of the few words she had at that time, "Boo!". What a little cutie!!
Well it's official - Peyton is online dating at age 4. Her "boyfriend", Carter, from preschool got a web cam and so they've been Skyping. Now I catch Peyton in the office all the time sitting at the computer saying, "Carter, I call you!" as she's scrolling through everything on the computer in search of the Skype icon. Slightly annoying because she's renamed several of my files, but ya can't help but love the precious little bond between these two sweeties!
That's what vacuuming is at our house. Honestly, I think the kids would rather help vacuum than go somewhere fun like Chuck E. Cheese. It's nuts. Keepin' my fingers crossed they enjoy it this much ten years from now. Last night Chad started vacuuming upstairs while Peyton was downstairs. The second she heard the vacuum start up she went frantically running up the stairs yelling, "Daddy, no!!! Wait for me!".
