A Girl and her Salad

Have I mentioned Charley's love for salad?  If not...Charley LOVES salad.  Our wonderful neighbor...who loves our children...almost always has a big bowl of salad in her fridge.  Charley will go over there just so she can get some salad with "dress up" on it.  I really can't complain because how many kids like eating lettuce and spinach?

Down Time

Since my parents kept the kids over night last night we had some down time today.  I have a hard time with down time since I'm not all that familiar with it.  I feel like I should be doing something.  Jon insisted that I sit down for a bit and watch baseball.  I did enjoy it...although note my shoes are on ready for action.

Lights Out

Today while it was raining our power went out...what!?!  That hasn't happened in a while.  It was a pretty crazy storm.  We got hail bigger than golf balls. (Perhaps there will be a payday in our near future for hail damage...fingers crossed).  It actually hailed for quite a while...which seemed so odd to both Jon and I...usually it hails for a few minutes and then stops after a couple minutes.  It was so loud in the house too.  We really thought it might break the glass on our side entrance door.  It didn't....but it did knock our power out for a few hours.

My Hero

Matthias LOVES Captain America.  He is definitely his favorite super hero...at least for the moment.  I'm glad he was Captain America for Halloween because he loves wearing the mask around. 

Whistlin Dixie

Matthias' newest skill is whistling.  And let me tell you...he shows off this skill any chance he gets.  I have to admit it's pretty cute.

It's Time

The time has come to say good-bye to the pack n play.  It has been good to us...and survived our crazy kids.  But since Charley is now in a big girl bed...and easily able to climb out of the pack n play...it's time to part ways. It's kind of bittersweet.  It means our kids are no longer babies and that makes me a little sad...but excited too.  I'm posting it on craigslist...so hopefully we won't own this soon.

Green Thumb

Today I am trying to turn my black thumb a little green.  I planted some flower seeds.  I've never been much of a gardener...but I can kind of see why people like it.  I guess we'll find out in a week or two if maybe I have a green thumb.
