The kids’ swim instructor is moving so today was his last day. We will miss him lots—he was really good with both kids and really pushed Owen.

Birthday shopping from Toys R Us
I belong to the birthday club for the kids so when mail came with Owen’s name on it, he was excited. It was a $3 coupon and a certificate for a crown and birthday balloon. When we turned it in, he also got a plush and a book!
He knew exactly what he wanted so it didn’t take long. He looked so grown up waiting in line…
Unfortunately we were one day early for the coupon (of course!) so daddy bought it for him and he lucks out with an extra birthday present.
Kidisms 36
Katie: I don’t feel good.
Tom: What’s wrong?
Katie: The boogers are in the way.
We bought Katie a carry-on for an upcoming plane trip. She has been rolling it around the house ever since, filling it up, emptying it out, and playing with it non-stop. When she goes to bed, Owen starts playing with it.
Me: Why do you guys like suitcases so much?
Owen: Let’s just say this. We like suitcases.
Katie got dressed on her own and came in to show us.
Tom: You look like a thousand bucks.
Katie: I’m not for sale!
We were out running errands and Katie asked if I was just going to go in. Tom joked he would just toss me out of the car.
Katie: Noooo! She’ll break everything on her. She’ll break her bones.
Vacation Day Spirit Day
He’s SO excited about being able to dress for Vacation Day at William Halley ES…doesn’t much care that it’s only 30° out.
And a picture the school posted on Facebook!

Sometimes this outfit happens.
I know it shouldn’t matter but it makes me cringe… so I let her wear it when we aren’t going anywhere. 🙂
Building our own White House
We are doing it in batches because we are ALL helping…and when owen starts getting too grabby and controlling, we put it up for the day.
Goodbye hugs for Maggie
Maggie was at the door sunning herself so Katie had to give her hugs goodbye.
Riding home from the playground
Since we live just around the corner she is allowed to sit in the passenger seat. 🙂
My shopping score of the week!
Only $3.49 for Børn lined boots at Ross! Even if she only wears them for the rest of this season, it’s still worth it!
Still loving her buff…
I just can’t.
That’s a big furry hood.
Miss Sassy Pants…or Skirt
We are SO in trouble…
Two little fishes getting ready to swim!
She loves to do this.
He’s such a good sport.
He’s such a good sport v2. I asked if he remembered what he was doing in the picture, thinking he wouldn’t have a clue…and within like three seconds he said “Those are Lego hands from Indiana Jones [xbox game].”
Sometimes I just have to take pics before school.
A cuddle couch
Katie dancing at ballet
Have I mentioned Katie doesn’t want to do ballet anymore? She wants to do gymnastics but I haven’t decided if we’re going to do that. We still have to finish out our pre-paid January dates and she still has a ball. I keep asking if she’s sure she wants to quit and she says she is.
Two and seven years ago…
Owen happened to be on my lap as we were checking out TimeHop so we did this recreation. 🙂
Off to bed in a basket!
A future Olympian?!
Gander Mountain Escapades
Finally! Duck Donuts!!
They were SOOOO yummy. We will be back.
Entranced.
Finally in her footie PJs!
Katie finally decided to wear footie PJs tonight. She hasn’t been able to wear them before now because trying to pee in the middle of the night (getting the PJs off while sleepy) was an issue. Not anymore!
Birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.
The kids are always so excited to go because we refuse to take them (they know why but they’re still kids so don’t really understand)…
With the birthday boy.
One of my all-time favorite Owen pics. Seven years ago.
Me: Owen, come here, I need you to do something for me.
Owen, seeing me with the camera: UGGGGGGGHHH!
But he still did it. 🙂
She finally gets her cuddle.
Owen has been home sick for a few days and wouldn’t let Katie lay with him. He feels better now, so…
Bundled up for school
