Leftover Thursday

My beautiful tree! Love the week it blooms. I wish it looked like this all summer!

I was looking for a pen in T’s console of his truck. I told him, “You know you’re a daddy when you have tiny Elmo underwear in your man truck.” Haha :)

Auntie Jen and Uncle Sean sent Buggy Stephanie’s Beach House Lego set for her birthday. She was SO excited! Even more so because it was so much like the beach house we stayed in for their wedding! It even had a bunk bed with a TV in the room like theirs did! She stayed up as late as we would let her building it.

And then finished it the next morning just as soon as she woke up!

“Take a pit-ture of my Te Ma-ma!”

Boo made me a T-Rex on pancake Saturday! Love it!

Happy Thursday!

Wednesday

A couple of Wednesday’s ago Daddy was out of town and Boo REALLY wanted to have a sleepover with Mommy! And for some reason she wanted to sleep on my bedroom floor. She was happy as a clam, and wants to do it again even though she was asleep before I came to bed and was still asleep when I got up. Just something new and fun I guess. :)

Father’s Day Pottery

When the cousins were here we got to paint pottery again! The girls just LOVE going there! And since it was so close to Father’s Day we decided to make things for Daddy!

Cousin A had spent the night at our house and she did wonderfully! She is such a sweet little girl.

After pottery we headed over to the park. I ran and got Happy Meals at a nearby McDonlds and we had a picnic in the park. Afterwards the kids played and played!

Boo wanted me to take a picture of her orange dress for Daddy (his favorite color). Love this sweet girl!

Here’s our finished pottery. Daddy got to open it on Sunday.

Peanut made the Cocoa on the end. Boo made the penguin mug (for Daddy’s hot chocolate) and Mommy helped, and Bug made a D for Daddy.

More Cousin Fun!

Sammy and his mommy came back for another two-week visit! And this time they brought little A with them! She is four and the girls had a great time playing with her! We called them cousins as I can’t seem to get the familial relationship sorted out. :)

The girls just adore Sammy!

He is a little sweetie! And he started crawling all over the place while he was here!

It’s been in the 90’s here lately! This is our new summer pool.

It was on sale online, and ended up being more of a splash area than pool, but the girls had fun with it.

Sammy didn’t like the cold water, but he took a turn down the slide. :)

Papa was on bee patrol. They seem to be bad again this year.

Papa also read to the girls before naptime one day. So sweet.

This was a different day…Auntie N bought bubble guns and they made an amazing amount of bubbles!

Noni let the girls splatter paint the trampoline with washable paint one afternoon! They had SO much fun and stuck with it for over an hour!

The next day they got to scrub the trampoline with soapy water, and had just as much fun with that! Haha :)

Buggy got to help feed Sammy one day.

What a busy, fun two weeks! More pictures to come!

Tooth #2 at the Farm

The other day we headed down to the farm for a weekend away. We got there late and the girls had to go straight to bed. Boo came up after brushing her teeth and said, “My tooth is bleeding!” The one that has been loose for weeks was barely hanging on.

T hardly had to pull it at all.

She was so happy! Even more so the next morning when she found $1 under her pillow!

The next day the kiddos played like crazy and Bug even got a driving lesson! T and Grandma taught her how to drive the riding lawn mower and she mowed one of the lawns all by herself!

Waylon and McKenzie came over and they had a grand old time playing inside and outside and all over the place.

It was a nice, relaxing weekend. Just what we needed!

We can’t wait to do it again soon!

Funny Friday

My friend E sent this to me. So funny!





So true.
Happy Friday!

Hives

The other day T had a really long day (started at 6:30-7am) and couldn’t get off work in time for me to go to Zumba so I packed the girls up and took them with me.

About halfway through I saw two little red spots on Peanut’s upper lip. I didn’t think much of it, but by the time Zumba was over they were two mosquito-bite sized dots. I thought she’d gotten bit by something. I took the girls home and gave them a bath and her lip was starting to swell. T still wasn’t home so I put Boo to bed and called our insurance’s nurse hotline about the swelling.

They didn’t seem to be bothering her. No itchiness or anything, and when I went to take a picture of it she gave me this big smile. :)

T finally came in just as I had gotten through and was telling the nurse that the inside of her lips were starting to swell too. She suggested that we take her in to the ER. I didn’t realize that T hadn’t even eaten dinner yet (it was about 8:40), but he turned right around and took her back up to the hospital for me.

He sent me this picture a little while later.

*Notice the pajama change. Her other ones had a big hole in the bottoms so I changed her really quick, haha :)

While they were waiting to be seen small red dots started popping up all over her body.

And the swelling continued to get worse.

They gave her Benadryl and Prednisolone and we kept her on it for three days. I thought she would be ok to only take it two days, but about an hour after she woke up the third day she started itching her hip/leg and when I looked she had these long welts all over…

Poor baby. We never did figure out what it was. Maybe there was something on the gym floor at Zumba (somewhere she’d never been), maybe it was something she ate, but there was nothing new that we could think of. She hasn’t had any more since that third day, and other than some slight bruising from the swelling she seems perfectly fine.

We’re very thankful it wasn’t worse!
