CRAZY but GOOD!

Last week was so crazy and busy! With as crazy as it was, it was a good week.

September 1st, Tuesday
Zoo Days! And Mine and John's 6 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated by buying a Wii (it was suppose to be our family Christmas present....but we couldn't wait to open till then so it became our anniversary present. :)

We went to the zoo with my mom, Ryley and Aiden.

I LUV this pic! I laughed when I saw that Karen had dressed the boys the same & I had dressed the girls the same. Made for a cute pic.

The kiddos cooled off in the water.

And before leaving we hit the carousal....3 times!

Later that night, we left for some reason and I guess we in a rush and didn't make sure Maggie's crate was completely locked. Welp, while we were gone, she got out and had the time of her life. She had all the girls stuffed toys off their beds spread all over the living room floor. Some had missing ears, some missing tails. But this poor poor pony got the worse of it! Piper cried non stop. So since it wasn't her fault that Maggie ate her pony, we went and bought her a new one.


Wednesday September 2nd

Nothing too exciting, I just experimented with a Rachael Ray recipe....Shepherd's Pie Stuff Potatoes. YUM!!!! YUM!!!!! YUM!!!!!

And we gave Maggie a bath....pew wee she needed it!


Friday, September 4th
Ladies night out! We have been so busy with house stuff....contracts, inspections, addendums, appraisals, etc.... Well, since we've been neglecting the girls we let them get dressed in their beautiful dresses and we took them out!

We ate at this cute lil' 50's diner. Great burgers! And if you wanted, you could eat breakfast any time of the day! We sat right under Elvis Presley. Sweet!

Juliet posed with his pic.

Presley posed near his star. She thought that was really cool to see her name framed on a star! She'd say, "Elvis Presley". And Juliet would yell out, "Elvis Juliet". FUNNY!

Then off to Sweet & Sassy for a little polish and glitter!


September 6th, Sunday.
Like the Wii, the Rockband for the Wii was suppose to be a family Christmas present to us. But we have no self control! So, I guess it became "the house is under contract" present to us. Anyways, the kids love it! And do John and I! Why didn't we get the Wii earlier????

After a morning of Wii, we headed to Aunt Debbie's & Uncle John's for some yummy Mexican food and swimming and games. We celebrated Labor day a day early.

Let the Games begin! It's on!

The kids were so calm today too. The took turns playing Aunt Bambie's DS and shared grapes.


Monday, September 7th, Labor Day.
We wanted a super lazy day! So we hung out at home all day. Napping and playing Wii and watching Twilight. Close to dinner, we got a call from Barbara. They were in the neighborhood for a short time. So we got together for about an hour and let the girls run through the mall.

Let me tell you....I love Vampire movies. I don't know why...but I do. But I sore that I'd never be a follower of Twilight....that has a teen following and I am (shhhh!) 36 yrs old! The dialogue was awful but Robert Pattinson (Is that his name?)...well his yummilicousness cancelled out the horrible dialogue (in my opinion). Well, anyways....just had to throw that in there. BTW.....I loved Lost Boys & Interview With A Vampire! Yummy and sexy vampires they were!

Tuesday, September 8th....My B-day.
The girls took me to the movies. We saw Up at the dollar theater. It was a real cute cartoon. And something funny about Piper has started happening. She gets so into these cartoon movies and doesn't want them to end. She loves the happy endings so much that when they do end, she is so sad and cries! She even does this when she doesn't like a cartoon (like Igor), but as long as it ends well...she'll cry!

And yep, that's water from home and McDonald's in their laps. :)


Wednesday, September 9th
Yesterday, John and the girls bought be a Wii Fit board thingy for my B-day.
We did some hula hooping today. That was pretty fun. This was the only game they liked on the fit board. The other games made Presley cry because she didn't do so well.
