S'mores

Since Jon is out of town I am trying to keep the kids and I busy...mostly so I don't go crazy being on my own.  This evening I built a little fire out back and we made s'mores and hotdogs.  I think the kids had a good time.  I know they enjoyed eating their s'mores.

Yikes

This morning we got up and had to take Jonathan to the airport.  He is headed to Philadelphia for the next couple of days.  When we arrived back home it wasn't but a few minutes until Charley fell and gashed her leg.  I don't even know how she did it.  I was cleaning out the van and the kids were playing in the backyard.  She claims she just fell.   I may have gone into a slight panic because I thought she was going to need stitches.  Once I got it cleaned up I realized it looked much worse than it actually was.  I put some ointment and a band-aid on it and she was good to go.

Haircut

It finally happened.  Charley cut her hair.  It's not nearly as bad as I feared.  When she first walked towards me she was holding a few clumps of hair, and  I was so scared to assess the damage.  Thankfully she only cut this little piece in the back and also a small piece from up front.  You can't even tell.  I know it could have been much worse. 

Rare Moment

This is a rare moment in our house.  All three children sitting together and not yelling, hitting, or crying.  It was wonderful...even if it was only a brief moment.

Wall Art

When I went home to Mt. Vernon this old window was one of the things I picked up.  I got it hung up and all decorated.  I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks.

Ties

This evening Jon and I went to Jos. A.Bank.  Jon needed to get a couple new shirts, and while we were there we did a little tie shopping as well.  I love to pick out ties for Jon.  We have really different tastes, but he is good about humoring me with my tie selections.

Love Bug

I love this little girl.  She is going to be 3 in just a couple of weeks.  How is that possible?
