Catch up

We did a lot of fun stuff in the last month or two only some of which I have posted, so now I'm taking the time to catch up! So, here goes.

August and September 2007 in no particular order...

My entire world sitting on the kitchen floor
After sitting herself down with big and little Elmo, she insisted I take a picture. "Get the camera mama"
Monkey see, Monkey do!
After delivering a present to each Elmo, Alli sat down to read them a story. She is very much into taking care of her dolls and stuffed animals right now.


Alli and TJ looking so cute at a birthday party we went to.
She was REALLY enjoying all that the party had to offer.
And, TJ was really enjoying that music. Spinning is one of TJ's versions of dancing (the other is bouncing).
Alli's first pinata experience. We're gonna do what to Dora? Surprisingly she didn't hesitate at all to whack Dora with a stick, nor did she seem bothered when Dora was beat to pieces. I guess it's hard to worry about that when there is candy to be had.
Another first- a lollipop for TJ.
Swimming, a clown, Dora, a pinata, bags full of candy, cake, borracho beans (there was also other yummy food, but this was the kids favorite), music and friends- Alli must be thinking "We should really do this more often!"


Alli helping us clean the boat for our Lake LBJ trip.
Who says it's not OK to play with your food. Not sure exactly what was happening here, but I do know the lizard was one of the things she took care of for awhile. I guess he was hungry for a banana and some fruit loops.
Alli not too comfortable with Pete the penguin at Sea World.
Mom and TJ feeding the Dolphins
They both really had a lot of fun at Sea World (mommy too) and even sat still for the Sea Lion show. TJ kept pointing every time they would come out or do a trick. Lots of pointing.

"Can Jack come over?"

So she didn't say it quite like that, but Alli invited a friend over for the first time this past week. It went more like this. We were sitting at the breakfast table eating luch. Alli looked out the window and said "There's my pool."

I said "That's right. Would you like to go swimming this afternoon?"

Alli responds "Yeah" followed by a brief pause and then "Jack is my friend."

Thinking that was kinda random I politely say "That's right." Then she says "He's gonna swim with me." Now I see where this is going. So I explain that we have to call his mommy and if they are not busy, then maybe Jack can come over to swim.

Well, needless to say it worked out. It was a beautiful day for a backyard swim. We're trying to get as many in as possible before the Texas summer is truly over. Here are some pics of the day...

Alli flies down the slide in a somewhat out of control fashion.

Jack on the other hand carefully sits at the top of the slide before easing himself down, shoes and all.
The fancy red watering can was a very popular toy that created a little bit of a sharing issue.
TJ joined in the fun too.
It's good to have friends!

Stolen Blog Post- thanks Steph!

Until I get a blog post up for our Lake LBJ trip (or more likely in case I don't), visit Steph's very thorough post at: http://stephandcorrysbabygirl.blogspot.com/2007/09/lbj-trip-part-2.html
I think one of the only things she forgot to cover was the deadly amoeba that we were all careful to avoid- no swimming :-(
Thank goodness for that slide!!!!
