Having fun at the Pool

This is what we do on a daily basis. We will really miss having a pool in our "backyard". Only 3 more weeks left!! The countdown has begun. Todd and I have never been so excited about the summer ending as we are this year.

Here is the Foyer

So our sink is in this corner.

This is the view from the Dining/living room.

Here is the Fireplace with the mantel sitting next to it.

Here is the foyer looking down.

And here is the famous corner pantry. Look at all the storage!

Fun at the Beach

We took a small family vacation to the beach this last weekend. We drove to Wilmington and found a beach where you can drive right up to the shore and back the car in, which was so nice not to have to haul all the stuff to the beach and when Allie got tired I could lay her down in the car out of the sun. Here are some of our pictures.

So Tired

Saturday I was running errands getting things ready to go to the beach. I had a weak moment in Wal-mart and decided to buy Sadie this Cinderella Ball. When we got home I went in and put Allie in her bed and by the time I walked back out Sadie was out cold on the couch (which never happens) with a death grip on the ball! You can't see it, but her arms are wrapped around it.

My Copy Cat

Obviously Sadie is way more observant than I ever thought. If you can't guess what she is doing here...She has her bunny in her shirt like a baby carrier. I had put Allie in the baby backpack thing a couple of days before and it took me a minute to figure out what she was doing. Now everytime I turn around she has her bunny stuffed down her shirt.

Whoops!

All those other moms out there, I don't know if this has ever happened to you: Today I was feeding Sadie yogurt. I was on the floor sitting next to Allie and Sadie was running around and coming for a bite of yogurt (we have to turn it into a game for her to eat). Without even realizing what I was doing, I fed a spoonful of yogurt to Allie! (who thoroughly enjoyed it) Hope it didn't do any harm. I just saw an open mouth and took the opportunity.

Playing in the Rain

Today we were playing in the courtyard and all of a sudden we got hit by rain. We decided to let the kids run around in the rain for a little while. Here is Sadie soaking wet.
