Few days of Fun...

                                              Uh-Oh.....Is it too early?! Never. Ever. Never.
The girls and I went out for a fun Friday. Ate sandwiches at our favorite sandwich shop, stopped in at the cutest little shop ever!!! When this sign is hanging out front you know you are in for a treat! Then followed it up by hitting our "city pumpkin patch". I call it that because around here- there are parking lots full of pumpkins....yuck, I know....but our plan was to make pumpkin pie so we just went for the pumpkin, not the fun of a pumpkin patch.....here is a little visual tour of events. Oh and don't worry we have some of the best real pumpkin patches a man can find, they are just about an hours drive away!

PS- I bought a coffee cup AND sign for my house that matches the above. I could.not.help.myself.

I guess to make up for having it in a parking lot they put together this cute little spot for pictures- It took longer than I would like to admit to get them both to sit there at the same time.....

 

 

I just can't get enough of this outfit. London has pretty much stolen Averys pink cowgirl boots. It has only worked because poor Avery has a terrible blister on her foot from coming down a slide in a fury- she is in the flip flop only zone and allowing the theft of her boots for the week. I do think it would be wise of me to purchase another pair before her blister is gone. London has grown to love them dearly. Ugh. So cute.

 

 

Time at the park. I could just look at this picture all day.

 

 

If I could dress like them everyday I would. Sparkle shoes, oversized ruffle skirt and Olivia T-shirt that says "Friends Forever".....

Three times. She has fallen asleep on the couch three times in her life. Of course this is not including her as a tiny baby just passed out in milk comma. Once was a sweet moment when both her and London were laying on me, I was scratching their backs and before I knew it they were both asleep. The other was once when she was very sick- super sad -and then today. Park day. We were big on routine when they were babies and it turns out we were so big on routine I created kids that pretty much ONLY sleep in three places. EVER. Their bed, my bed or the car. Period. I see pictures of kids who just fall asleep while in the middle of doing whatever it is they were doing and apart of me is always a smidge jealous- I think it is the cutest thing ever. Around here, a kid sleeping on the couch is as rare as Americans agreeing on a president. It just doesn't happen. When it does it is so sweet, such a moment caught in time and I love, love it!!

 

 

 

Oh and for my favorite qoute of the weekend-

 

The girls grandpa was showing Matt a gun of his great grandfathers and London went right up to him and says "You should shoot a bear with that and make a jacket for my Mom"

 

I have the Best.Kids.Ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One Liners and Never thought I would....

Mommy if you want to play with me you have to be special and kind. -London

Mommy I would like to make dinner for you. How about mash potatoes, spaghetti and candy on top?- Avery

I let London have a banana in my bed today while they watched a movie. They aren't taking naps anymore but sometimes I just need the house quuuuuiiiiiiiiiet, so that is "movie time on mommies bed" time. They wanted a snack for the movie and I normally don't let them have food on my bed but I really, really needed this quiet time....so in went the bananas. Not too much later Avery comes out and announces that London put her banana peel in the toilet but not to worry, she got it out. YAY. YUCK. WHAAAAAAT? Never thought I would find myself explaining how very important it is to keep banana peels OUT of the toilet....really, like did I really just have to explain that? Oh and did I mention there was clearly pee in the toilet? Seemed like she went potty, then dumped her banana peel behind. So Avery not only cleared out the toilet but she got a pee manicure....lovely.

I should have taken a picture of the pee soaked peel left behind on my bathroom floor but I just wasn't quick enough. Boo. Next time. Wait....please, Lord, don't let there be a next time......

Blogger of the Year award goes to.......

Not me. I haven't posted anything in a long time. The problem is that I read through my blog and realized very little of it is something I would want to follow. Gasp. My blog sits on the boarder of suck town and no thanks. It has been all over the place. Much like my mind is everyday, so it's only natural my first attempt at a blog would follow suit. I have been mulling over why I have one, what its purpose is and who would want to read it. The greater portion of my life is consumed with my little lovelies. Hence the greater portion of my mind is consumed by my little lovelies. Those two just happen to be the funniest people I know. Everyday they leave me with no words, just a head shaking back and forth with a smirk across my face. They make me laugh and amaze me at how sweet, kind and loving they are and  honestly sometimes they make me cry....in not the "oh my gosh they are going up so fast" kind of cry but more like "oh my gosh, my children are the wild savage kind with no manners, no respect and they are over taking me" kind of way. In the laughter and fun and in the crying and madness, I am thankful for it all and I try and keep a record of it all.

 I have been keeping a notebook of all the funny things, crazy things, sometimes inappropriate things they say. My thought is to keep the record on this blog instead of a notebook no one else sees but me.

Today as I was cleaning up my room I found a torn to pieces wrapper and fancy delicious coconut white chocolate beautifully hidden under a neatly folded blanket in the corner of my bedroom. I assumed my husband finished it. Not so.....the girls snuck it off a few days ago and have been rationing it off I suppose. Genius children I have. It's stuff like this that must be recorded. Must be shared. These girls are hilarious, mischievous, loving, and wild....what a better thing to share with everyone?

So let's start with today:

Yes, we go places dressed like this. London is a pirate princess and Avery is a rock n' roll cowgirl.

London needed Rock n' Roll boots.

Avery needed Cowgirl boots.

And this is the white chocolate I found in the corner of my room, under a blanket.....

All of this happened before 11am today. I think I will start saving my post until the end of the day as I am sure today will be full of more goodies from my lovely ladies AKA my cowgirl and princess pirate. If I can keep this up I just may have to re-name my blog "The adventures of Lou and Jane". I will explain the names later if it happens. For now- I hope this blog is more fun, more enjoyable and exciting to check on!
