From mini-van to mini-bus

We said goodbye to our Honda Odyssey this weekend- It has been a good 9 years 131,000 miles, and 4 transmissions. We traded it in for a conversion van. My kids are most excited about the TV and PS2; I am glad that it seats 9 with lots of room for growing kids and drives smoother than the SUVs I drove. It also sits lower to the ground which is easier for loading. They are not a lot of choices for vehicles seating 7 people comfortably. Mike went with a friend and his brother all the way to Florida to pick it up this weekend.

3 Little Pigs

The story of the 3 Little Pigs has been Adam's favorite for the past few weeks, so we have been building houses and acting it act daily.

They sleep when they stop

Sometimes you just can't make it to your bed.

Another lost tooth

Greta pulled out her top tooth last week, it had been damaged and was turning dark, so I was ready for it to be out and encouraged her to pull it. We went to a local horse park as a reward. She was so happy to hang out with horses all morning, I didn't enjoy it as much since I had to lead the stubborn donkey around.

Arboretum with friends

We went to the Dallas Arboretum this week with some friends Brooke and her 4 cute kids. It was hot but we enjoyed all the pretty flowers and fountains; Greta loved petting the horse. I am pleased that I caught the cardinal by the water.

Happy Birthday to Johnny!

Our friend Johnny turned 20 this week! He is such a great kid and we love to have him hang out with us. Clara made his favorite cake, German Chocolate. we tried a new upside down version which was yummy.

Dress like a cow= free dinner!!

We dressed up like cows and went to Chik-fil-a where we each got a free combo meal for dinner last week. The felt a little silly and were afraid we would be the only people there, but we weren't and they had fun. Notice the absence of Adam, he would have no part in dressing up even though I have a cow Halloween costume that fit him perfectly. We enjoyed our meal, played in the play place and Mike met us after work.
