Spirit Week: Wacky Day
This week is Spirit Week at Owen’s Pre-K and I was clueless about the first day—Wacky Day. Wacky Day? Give me an Inside Out Day or a Backwards Day…but Wacky? After asking some other parents and getting some ideas (some of which we didn’t have the stuff for like hair paint), Owen was totally on board with it. He ended up with a backwards shirt mismatched with shorts, two different socks, two different shoes…and pig tails like Katie (except he wanted them out about 20 seconds after I put them in—I made him keep them in for pictures).
Pig tail twins!
Dirty Girl, Day 2
Just left to her own devices, she ended up in the mulch. Of course. 🙂
Cool and sunny…perfect for playing outside!
She was pulling the wagon by herself…until Owen decided he wanted a ride. But she still tried to pull him!
Monkey see, monkey do…
Wagon Rides
We got the wagon out of the shed a while back and finally got it cleaned out. Katie was a hot mess after her nap (due to all her shots) but she liked being outside and I thought she might like a wagon ride.
Nope.
So Owen played with Papa instead.
Then Katie was happy again—and watching them intently—so we tried putting her in with Owen.
Nope.
Watching TV together
TV Togetherness
Owen is four years eight months old today!
I like his age now…I say “Owen, go sit on the couch so I can take a picture” and he says “Okay mama!” Getting him to smile nicely, however, is more of a chore as I get crazy smirks and head tilts and grins. But, I eventually get a good one!
And then AMAZINGLY I put Katie up there and I snapped about 30 pictures—and the very first one was the keeper!
Playset Daredevil
I just know she’s going to be the one headed to the ER while Tom is gone…she’s a bit more of a daredevil than Owen was.
And after baths…
Tunnel Cuddle
This should be on 9/23. I’ll move it in a few days.
Sibling Love
Sharing an umbrella
Or Katie’s old mobile which Owen was pretending was an umbrella…
Chillin’

Post-nap play time
FedEx delivery rang the doorbell and woke Katie up early which was annoying since I was desperately trying to grab a 10-minute catnap…but they were so cute I couldn’t be mad. Some of the pics are a little blurry, but I think they show the action well. 🙂
Also, I tried her hair up today…it’s super cute but hard to do since she obviously doesn’t sit still and therefore it’s hard to wrap the teeny bands multiple times.
Recliner Siblings
I got the old recliner out of the garage (that Owen rarely used) and of course, he wanted to sit in it right away…and then as soon as she saw it…watch out. She LOVES sitting in it.
Backyard Fun
The weather was cool enough today to actually want to go outside…so we did! The kids managed to stay on the deck for awhile, but then Owen got interested in the hose and wanted water…
He’s helping her put on his shoes. 🙂
Sunday’s Sibling Love
Every day…
Sibling Love
I looked over to see this:
He was kissing her head and rubbing her shoulder:
Un-bear-ably Cute
Hanging out with Katie
Hanging out with Maggie:
Hanging out with Owen:
Hanging out with Charlie:
The best pic I could get of her new outfit from Gramma Jean:
As soon as she sees me toss clean laundry in the chair, she’s over there like a shot. Usually she pulls everything off the chair but today she just played with stuff.
And hanging out with Owen again:
Today’s Sibling Moments
I look over to see this.
And then he’s got his finger in her ear and he’s messing with her hair—and she doesn’t care.
Then he kisses her.
I love looking over to see this.
Big Brother Love
This is one of those times I’m glad I have a camera phone and can snap unexpected cute moments.
Then he tried to kiss her head and she ducked away at the last moment, giggling the whole time.
Attempted kisses:
Dressed up to see daddy off
The cute dress was a gift from (I think) Grannie Lin. I had to get her in it before she outgrew it (it’s size 12m). We just don’t often have the opportunity to wear dresses!

You can see the love
