Free day!

It's getting to be our usual thing to go hang out at Target on the Saturday I'm off. We took the kids to get our usual breakfast of berry yogurt and pretzel with cheese, followed by a bag of popcorn (who can resist fresh popcorn??). We gave Livi Mountain Dew for the first time and it was priceless, as always...

It's very interesting to watch the people come in and out of Target. As a known people watcher, it's one of my favorite past times. After doing our people watching, we walked around and enjoyed the sites. Noah did a pecular little hippity hop as he went through the store. Never seen this one before...

After buying Noah a huge ball he had to have, we headed toward the Children's Park my friend My had told me about. It's not so much a part, but a memorial for children who have died too young. Since having my miscarriage, this hit home, but what a wonderful way to remember those lost. We got so many good pictures of the kids.

Noah loved sitting by the water

"Look mama...water"

Scaring mama to death by climbing to the top. Thank goodness daddy was there.

Look at sister's whispy old man hair

My babies' daddy

Yes, that is bird poop on my butt! LOL.

Having sooo much fun!!!

Testing the water

After we took a much needed nap, I made up something called Sidewalk Paint, which I got off the Disney Family Fun App. It was the coolest thing ever and I think I had more fun than Noah. The recipe is equal parts cornstarch to cold water and add food coloring till you get a color you like. Take your paint brushes and go out side on the driveway and paint like Picasso!!! It dries and looks exactly like you used sidewalk chalk. I can't wait to do it again!!!

Attempt #1 at Birthday Pictures

It's time for a party!! Noah's birthday is coming up in Febuary and I'm so excited to get his 2nd birthday plans going! I love to make my own birthday cards, so I have an idea to take Noah's picture while he is playing in leaves. We waited too late to leave the shop today and I lost out on using the light. I thought I'd take a few pictures anyway so I could see how Bub was gonna do with leaf play. He had a good ol time, but it got dark too soon, so we didn't get to do it very long. Olivia on the other hand was not a fan of the leaf pile. I guess I'll have to wait for a day when it's sunny so I can get some good pictures out of it. I need to read my manual again and figure out the trick that makes the background blurry and the person clear. That seems to be what a lot of photographers are doing these days.
