We love to color.

The girls have been really into coloring and drawing lately. They each have their own box with their own colors, and bring them out daily. Veronica has also taken to the scissors lately as well and seems to cut out at least every other page that is colored.
I joined them today at the table coloring a HUGE coloring book with Disney Princesses. Needless to say, my picture did not come out as great as it could have, seeing as how I was coloring with nub tipped crayons, lol. (excuse my 9mo fat preggo belly, lol I tried to crop my fat butt out already, couldnt remove the whole picture, :P )

When dinner goes... yuck

I made Matzo Ball soup for dinner this evening. I have had it once before at a restaurant in Houston near the galleria , called Kenny and Ziggys (which I have a lunch date with a friend there tomorrow) and it was sooo good.. well what I made was NOT.
I was pretty hungry and so I made myself breakfast for dinner complete with coffee (instant Tasters Choice, my fav!)!! yummm
excuse the bacon, the ends are never done all the way, and to get them done I just pull them apart and cook them by themselves since I hate bacon that is too crunchy and hard.

Goofing around

We were goofing around the other day, see what we were up to. :)
Veronica and Valerie were pretending like the had babies in their bellies, lol. Veronica took her "baby" out and was holding it. I have one of those yoga balls and the girls can't stay off of it no matter what! you can't see it, but Veronica is sitting on it!Here Daddy was playing monster and attacked Veronica while on the ball. They are so funny.
It was Veronica's Idea for me to take this pic. She was saying how strong she was.
And then Valerie had to get in on the action, she could barely hold it up and it fell 3 times before we got his pic. You can see Veronica running up with her hands up to catch it, hehehe.

Another day, another playdate.. busy week

I don't mind this being a busy week. A lot of kids are starting school next week, and I will be having this baby soon, so a week of "busy fun" is cool with me.
We went to Another Time Soda Fountain with more gals from our "mom group" and had a yummy lunch, along with ice cream at the end, which they brought out toppings and the girls got to top their own ice cream the way they wanted. I also had Kaley with me again.
here they are coloring so nicely. Veronica LOVES to color
and heres Valerieand Kaley.and the GRAND finale.. yummm

Incredible Pizza Co = Incredible FUN

We had a play date at the Incredible Pizza Co. with a few gals from our "mom group".
I brought along The Girl's, and Kaley.
Here they are with their shotguns, LOL. Its a TEXAS THANG!
Valerie riding on a horse.. yee haw.. another Texas thang I guess, lol!!
Veronica wanted to drive the go carts, but shes too small.. so the arcade game had to do.. She really does take after Paul.. TOO MUCH! lol
and last my friend Nena playing a drum game, kinda like "Dance Dance revolution" but with a drum.. so funny. and her daughter Peyton in the back ground, one of the girl's best friends.

Dancing Princesses

I thought this was a sweet thing. 2 Sisters playing dress up and dancing together. They fight alot, so I had to capture this loving fun moment.

Merlin so cute

I saw him laying on the floor next to me like this and I thought it was cute! looks like he is holding his toy. :)

Today is my 26th Birthday :)

I had a great birthday today, even though my husband had to work last night AND tonight. my mom came over and made Chicken Spaghetti for me and also brought over a yummy Ice Cream cake!! My mom also watched the girls for me while I went out to kroger super doubles event with my friend Nena, because Paul couldn't, he was at work.
Also my IPs sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, Thank you F & L !!!

This doll...

I picked up some clearance toys for the girls birthday and christmas etc. and this one has me weirded out, because I think it looks pregnant.. do you see it?? strange..

goofing around..

not quite tall enough to reach on their own, so they figure out how to get where they want to be, haha.
getting nice and hot and sweaty in their oh so cute dress up dresses!!

day of parties

We had 2 b-day parties to attend today. 1st Was for their friend Peyton, who is celebrating her 4th b-day, and the 2nd one was for my niece Nicole who is celebrating her 11th b-day.
I got a pic of the girls before we left for Peyton's party, but didn't get any pics at the party. I did remember to get pics at Nicole's party as there wasn't as much going to distract me from pics.
The girls all dressed up ready for Peyton's Tinkerbell, fairy and pirate party.At Nicole's celebration, the cake was an ice cream cake, so yummy
Valerie licking icing off the bottom of one candle

Chuck e Cheese day

We went to Chuck E cheese today for a couple of hours, and we brought along Nicole my niece whos birthday is on Friday, she is turning 11!
they started out on the horse ride, they really had no idea what they were doing. lolValerie after slidingI let the girls have their own cup of coins, and Veronica picked to ride with "Bob the Builder".This ride takes a picture while you drive, "with" Chuck E Cheese. ValerieNiki and Veronica.. don't you just love that "smile"??
Riding in the monster truck. this one was funny to watch!!
this one goes up and down when you pedal. Valerie couldn't reach the petals, so Nik had to spin them for her, so she could go up.The girls playing in the playland. This is the only pic I could get of them, they were practically running through this thing. Veronica did come down at one point and say her knees hurt, I told her it was from crawling on her knees, she said "oh" and went back to play again.
This was our "grand finale" before we got prizes and left. I had to bribe everyone with gum!!
