Today I walked by to see Ky sitting on the table with a screwdriver in hand. He had the screwdriver under his chin turning it. I asked him what he was doing to which he said with a big grin, "I am screwdriving me!" Too funny. Wish I snapped a picture!
Growing up my Dad would build forts for me and my brother and sisters out of blankets! I remember it being so fun! Well my Dad has passed that tradition down to my kids! They decided the other morning to build a fort in the guest bedroom.
They have been playing in it all week and having so much fun together! I love that they are making some of the same fun memories I have! Well tonight after our family picnic and movie they wanted to sleep in it. Ky was already passed out in bed, so Addy and Dawson slept in the fort!
Pretending to be asleep.....
When Bry and I went to bed at 11:00, they were still up chatting away! I love it! I told them to enjoy it now before school starts and the fort has to go!
Tonight, being Saturday we decided to have a family picnic and movie night!! Perfect family date night!
Love my family!
It's that time of year again! School is just around the corner, so it was time to have me some shopping dates! We headed down to Vegas since Bry had to be there until Thursday. We kicked of the week by hanging out in the pool!
My first date was with Dawson. It was fun because he was actually excited. I think this is the first year he has been excited to have a shopping date with me! We had a great time shopping and of course we had to get some treats! The nice thing about Dawson is that the date is often stress free and short and sweet! I love to spend one on one time with each of my kiddos. Our conversations are fun and different than when we are all together. I really cherish these little dates!
The next day after lounging the morning away at the pool, it was Addy's turn! I love that we both love to shop. However shopping with her can often be tricky! Addy has to try most everything on, which takes a lot of time. So it is never in and out when shopping with her! Plus she puts a lot more thought into her outfits and actually has a fashion opinion. Dawson only has strong opinions about his shoes at this point! Which often means my dates with Addy are a wee bit longer! Just more time to spend and chat with her! It was a great week, and I had the best dates around!
So now that the shopping is done, I think this calls for a little last minute play time before school starts!
Dawson has had his 1st loose tooth for a while now. We have tried to convince him to let us pull it out but that hasn't gone over well. Well today Kyler, Dawson and I were outside playing on the grass when I noticed he was bleeding! He lost his tooth! Literally! Somehow in our little wrestling match he lost his tooth,literally lost it in the grass! We searched and searched and then called Addy and Dad out for extra eyes but no luck! Dawson was devastated and I was heart broken! This was his first tooth! Any other tooth and I would have been over it, but I was right there with him in his disappointment! He started to cry when I told him to just write a letter the the tooth fairy and leave that under your pillow. So he did and here is it.....
The next morning he woke up happy to know the tooth fairy got his note and yes left $$$!
Apparently this is how we get our PJ's on! While getting their jammies on I walk out to roars of laughter and this!
My crazy, wild, wonderful boys!!!
Don't even know what to say except that I just love them and I love to hear them laugh!
So tonight we had an outdoor movie night at our good friends, the Ashworths! It was a blast. We watched Back to the Future. Well on the way home at 11:30,we were telling the kids to please all try to sleep in and just have a nice relaxing morning. We told the kids,"hey if ya wake up try to just roll over and go back to sleep". To which we hear Dawson started to whine. We asked him what was wrong, and his response was,
"I suck at that!!"
Bry and I just could not keep it together. So we told him to just try his best! Too funny that kid is!
