ArOUnD ThE HoUsE

So I think I might be manic depressive without the depressive part. Or maybe that is coming. I have just been off the charts busy.  Mostly of my own making. After getting the photography website, blog, business related things all going I have not been able to stop! On a random Hobby Lobby trip last week I basically decided to start redecorating the house.  Although its mostly decorating for the first time in a lot of spots.  Only the collage wall of pictures got totally redone- I will post pics as soon as I print off 20ish pictures to fit all the frames.  My sister helped me with it- I love it! Oh our 3rd trip to Hobby Lobby for the week I stopped to look at some lamps, Elliott says "Mom, lets stick to the basics"  I think Chris pays her to keep watch over me!

Aside from all that, we are getting ready for back to school in a week!

Elliott and I took a trip to the water park, it was very fun! I have a funny/embarrassing story about it. So don't skip through grandpa! She loved the wave pool and the waterslides. I had so much fun too- we went up to the first set and the teenage kid asked us each which one we wanted- I asked which was the fastest- he pointed to the one in the middle. I said I'll take that one.  I notice as we're waiting on Elliott's slide that nobody is going on the pink one.  Hmmm. So I'm about to go- and the kid goes- "we don't get too many people coming up reserving the pink one on their first trip down." So I get my turn. I hop on and look- yeah, its one of those ones that basically goes strait down.  No worries- I love these things. I'm not scared. Its been so long since I've been to a water park that I sit down and go down. Sit down. Not lay down with my feet crossed in front of me arms crossing my chest. Sit like I'm going down a 3 foot slide at a playground. I sit. So I come flying down this 100 foot slide sitting on my bootie, water spraying up in my face, I get to the bottom and see the kid there, he's just looking at me. Like, what the H is this mom in her one piece bathing suit trying to do? Die? I can't see for at least 5 min after my trip down the slide because my contact is glued to the side of my eye.  Needless to say, I did it again later, but the correct way! E loved the wave pool and she did lots of water slides too- sad for me that she was only 47 inches so we didn't have free run of the whole park. But we sure will next summer- and now that I remember how to go down a waterslide. Its on!

So here is P hanging out in his swing. I just <3 him! 

 I took him out in the backyard last Sat because we were up at the crack of dawn and the sunrise looked so pretty. I love how its coming through the trees behind him. And he looks extra adorable with his rolls.

 Playing upstairs with sisters. Lucky for me he's not moving yet- not even rolling onto his tummy, although he can immediately get off his tummy if you put him on it. We have so many toys with little pieces, its going to be a nightmare!

 Princess Aurora joined us for some tea.  This kid spend so much time creating tea parties, I think she's going to be a professional party planner someday.

 She was watching Dora and Patton was VERY interested, I sat him down with her. They looked so so cute sitting together.

 I think he wasn't having very much fun anymore.

 This dude can EAT.  He amazes me.  Elliott was never into baby food much- she would only eat it in the tub (maybe because at 4 months old I was trying to put her in the high chair that sat strait up. Rookie) I think around P's age I would just cut up little bites for her and she would eat table food. Mainly because she wanted to do it all herself. Berk was good about baby food, but I don't remember having to shovel it in her face at lightening speed and going through 2 jars at each meal. He'd eat more too. Sometimes I open a 3rd at dinner.  He's earned each of those rolls of his.

 Elliott had a friend from school over yesterday to play. They had a great time together, its so cute to watch them interact. She's so excited to be a first grader and get back to school with all her friends!
