Popcorn?

They other day the kids asked if they could pop some popcorn. I said sure just don't eat on the carpet. When I came into the room this is what I saw......

kids can be so creative. I love those kids!!!

Pflugerville Lake

We live only a few minutes from Pflugerville Lake and have enjoyed walking the the path all around. But, while we were gone they put in a "beach" area at one end. So the other day the kids and I decided to go check it out. I was a little bored, but the kids LOVED it. They had so much fun playing with the rocks and in the sand. The roped off area was nice cause it never went deep enough for the older kids to be under the water. When it was time to go they didn't want to leave, it took me 35 minutes to get everyone out. I definitely think that we will go again.

Finally a Pet

Like so many other kids our kids have been BEGGING for a pet. I have been able to keep it at bay by saying "not until everyone in the house is potty trained." Well that came to an end the other day. When Brent was mowing the lawn the other day he came upon a den of little gray babies. I was a little worried. I spent a long time on the internet trying to figure out what kind of animals they were. Luckily, I determined that they were rabbits. I would have hated it if they had been mice, cause that would have been a delicate situation. Needless to say the kids have had so much fun watching them grow. McKenely named one Rosebud and Kaitlyn named one Rascal. They were pretty sad when they woke one morning and realized that they were gone. Fortunately we have more than enough wild rabbits around here to keep them occupied.

Poor baby :(

Our poor baby. Kaitlyn has started the process of braces - Yes, you heard me right. Our 8 year old is getting braces. We have have known for a while now that she would need work done, but why so soon?. I think the first signs were when her teeth started to grow in rows(like a shark). We soon found out that her mouth just wasn't big enough (that is debatable) for her teeth to come in strait. So we have begun the never ending journey. It started with her two bottom canines being pulled. So last Friday she had 1 cavity filled and 1 tooth pulled. And today she had 2 cavities filled and 1 tooth pulled. Poor girl. She can't eat anything except ice cream and yogurt (sympathy can end now). OH, don't think the story is over with. Tomorrow she gets spacers put in and fitted for an expander. It's going to be awesome!!!
