Rub-a-dub-dub

Wednesdays are Grammie days. My mom watches all the grandkids at her house and it gives us moms some (much needed) free time. Since my kids were the only ones she was watching this morning, we decided to go to Target together. Nicholas wasn’t too thrilled with the idea till Grammie bribed him with a new Thomas boat for the tub. He even got to play with it in her big tub with lots of bubbles, which allowed me to get some cute pictures.

Sylvie

I tried taking Sylvia out back to get a couple pictures. She wasn’t too happy about it, but I did manage to get a couple keepers.

Like I said – she wasn’t too happy about it

Her green tooth doesn’t give away the fact that I was bribing her with fruit snacks – does it? :)

She was much more interested in eating the grass I guess

Smell the Flowers

As I’m sure you’ve already noticed I’m actually going through some of my own pictures. Here are a few of Sylvia a couple weeks ago smelling Uncle Dan & Auntie Chelle’s flowers. She makes the funniest face when she tries to smell something.

Cherrios

This girl never stops. Last week she poured herself a bowl of Cherrios all over my bedroom floor!

Surprise!

Even though I begged him not to (and yes – he lied straight to my face), Scott threw me a wonderful surprise 30th birthday party last weekend. He knows all too well how nosy I am – he planned it almost a month early so that I wouldn’t be suspicious at all. Well it worked. We went out for dinner and then to my mom’s for what was supposed to be a family bonfire. I was completely shocked to see a bunch of my friends and family there too. My sister Betsy and her boyfriend Nick flew in from DC with my niece Stella. It was so wonderful to see them, even though we missed my other sister, Amy. And I really couldn’t believe my good friend Heather came all the way from Seattle. I hadn’t seen her for over 7 years! We had a great weekend catching up.

I actually went the entire weekend without taking a single picture, but Scott snapped this one of Heather and me in front of the house we used to live in: 4079 9-6-2009-2 Heather & KatieAnd another snap of Nicholas and Stella saying goodbye at the airport – before all the tears started flowing!

Oatmeal

This is what happens when I turn away for about 5 seconds. I guess I need to teach her how to use a spoon a little better!
