For New Years we headed to Canyon Lake with our crew (minus kiddos)...
While in Dallas we finally went to check out the Ross Perot Museum. The kids loved it! The dinosaurs were a big hit, as was the Children's Museum & Sports challenge, but I think the frog playground won!
We loaded up the kiddos, filled our cups with Wassle, and hopped on a horse drawn carriage. How else would you go look at Christmas lights?!
I've been waiting for the day to get dressed up and take my little ballarina to see The Nutcracker...
The kids are too funny. I keep meaning to post these...
Owen...when I picked him up from his first day of school we had the following conversation as we were pulling out of the parking lot...
O " mom, I like to talk"
Me "yes, I'm aware. (Eye roll)"
O "well, we are not supposed to talk in kindergarten"
Me "yes"
O "I'll do better tomorrow"
I assume he got in trouble for talking and this was his confession...
I walked up to the door to get Henley from her first day bc new moms don't understand the parking lot diagram for carpool. She is dismissed, and runs to me...I asked her " How was your first day?!?!" She replies "you got your nails painted!"....well, yes I did...guess she had a good day
Brody...the only thing this sweet thing is interested in is sea life. He has requested a t-shirt with an octopus wearing glasses, a pet coconut crab ( yes, this is a real thing), and just wait until you see his Halloween costume!
One more Owen story...I picked him up and his teacher, while helping them into the car, gave me the heads up that Owen had been in time out that day... She was explaining to me that during recess Owen was throwing a stick and that it was acceptable because of so many kids Ina small area...Owen stopped her with "excuse me, Mrs. Goodwin, It was a rock!" She never broke stride and said, "yes, you are correct Owen, I'm sorry, it was a rock"...Gotta love my little honest man!
Sweet little Henley...you are a pure joy, a whiney mess, a princess, a helper, a busybody, a fashionista, and quite the comedian! Tonight, Henley and I were reading Cinderella in bed. She was showing how smart she is by naming the mean stepsisters. I was actually impressed, Anastasia and Drucella are not easy names. I pointed to the Fairy Godmother (an important character, in my opinion) and asked "is that her Fairy God Mother?" Without skipping a beat...Henley said, "No. That's her grandma!" I'm not sure she's following the story as well as I thought she was...
First week of school under our belt, an Aggie game and weekend getaway for mom & dad...what could go wrong?
