A Little This 'n That

We have been very busy these past few days. First off, though, Roy made it home safe and sound. It is wonderful having him back and the kids are so happy, too.

He stayed home on Tuesday morning and relaxed with the family. We went to Caroline's swim class, Chick-fil-a and the Fresh Market together. Here are 2 very happy children to have their Daddy home!


The other night I was putting stuff away before the kids' bedtime. I passed by the playroom and saw Caroline doing this:

She was sitting on Roy Austin's play boat reading her Bible. She had the Little People Noah's Ark in front of her and she had pulled the Bible outfit she got at Vacation Bible School out of the dress up box and put it by her feet, too. I asked her what she was reading about in her Bible and she said "Noah's Owwk".

On Wednesday, we had Savannah over to play all day. Her mommy was being a good citizen and sitting through jury selection at the court house. Poor Chrystal!! She has been through it this past week. I have never been selected for jury duty (I'm knocking on wood) and I hope to never be.

Caroline and Savannah had a great time together. They played in the pool....

...performed an impromptu piano recital...

...and sewed some wild oats living it up Barbie Style. Savannah is the sweetest little thing. After I would change her diapers or wipe her face, she'd say "thank you" in her sweet, little voice! I love a child with manners:)

By the way, this is one of my new favorite products. It's dish detergent with a built in air-freshener at the bottom of the bottle! Genius! This particular scent is apple pear and it makes my sink area spell magnificent. Yes, the red sticker indicates right! I got it on clearance at Target...and I had a coupon. (Sorry, I know this is random.)

Today Roy took the day off of work to spend with us. One of my favorite things to do is to spend the day with Roy just running around town. So, we ran a few errands and went to Monkey Joe's, where he and Caroline had a great time jumping, climbing and sliding down all of the inflatables.

Caroline and Daddy: Ready to conquer Monkey Joe's.

This little guy conquered the kiddie area. He would tumble over and just laugh. It's funny how careful we were with Caroline when she was his age. With him, we just say "you're fine.. get up."

Case in point. Easy, big guy. You are still a baby.

He loved it!

This is his new thing...sucking his thumb while holding some of his hair in the back of his head with his left hand. So cute:)

Here is a picture of Roy getting on to a little boy for pushing Caroline on one of the slides. As you can see, Caroline could care less and is moving on to something else. I know there are a lot of pictures, but just bare with me.

There they go! Poor Caroline. It's awfully hard to be lady-like climbing and sliding in a dress. At least she had on bloomers. In my defense, I did not know we were going to MJ's until we pulled in the parking lot. If I had known, she would have worn shorts and I would have been playing, too!

Roy owed Caroline a few dates, so we went to PeiWei for lunch. Roy takes her there just about every Wednesday night on a date. They call it "China". It's their place. They were nice enough to let me and Roy Austin tag along. We let them sit together and we tried not to make too much noise, although we totally felt like third wheels.
