July 26: Mommy & Me at the mall (& Daddy!)

Mick loves to dance in the car :)





Mike brought Mick on the carousel. He rode Mike the Tiger :) He didn't smile but he also didn't cry- a step in the right direction :)






After lunch, we headed to the playground

Sara with her flower bracelet she got from the balloon artist:







On way out, we had to make a wish at the fountain:

Mick is such an early riser! Here are some pictures of our adventures early Sunday morning:






I was washing some dishes when I realized I couldn't find Mick. Here's where he was:

Dance time!

July 10: Sara's Trip!

Sara went with the Aunt Connie, Uncle Ken, and JP to New Orleans a few weekends ago to meet up with Jennifer and Peter. She had a blast! Here is Jennifer's post about the trip. Sara is still talking about that monkey ride :) Thanks everyone for a fun trip!!

July 24: City Club!

On Saturday, Paw-Paw took up swimming at City Club. It was a blast!! The kids love the slide. Mick would climb up and sit down on the slide, but he wouldn't go down by himself. So I ended up going down the slide a million times :)


Mick and I in the lazy river. Sara had lots of fun practicing her swimming!

More sliding!



Daddy surprised us by coming home early and met up with us at City Club! The kids were so happy to see him :)

Thanks Paw-Paw :) We had a great time at the pool!

July 23- Children's Museum!

On Friday, I took the kids to the Children's Museum of Acadiana- we had a great time :)
I thought it was so funny that Mick knew exactly what to do at the grocery store. He grabbed a carton of milk, threw it in his buggy and started shopping :)


Sara was a little more selective with her shopping, and picked out things that she knew she would like.



Mick liked playing with the cash register!

Sara was really good at checking out! I guess practice makes perfect :)

We had lots of fun at the restaurant!

Sara prepared food for herself, me, and Mick! She got the hot dog in a bun (her new favorite!), Mick got pie, and I got spaghetti.

Mick really enjoyed driving the ambulance!

Of course they both loved the bubble exhibit! After we left this exhibit, Mick would look at me and blow to tell me that he wanted to go back to the bubbles! He is so funny!



More fun :)



On the way home, we stopped for sno-balls- YUM!
Don't dare try to take Mick's sno-ball!

July 19-22: Another Fun Week :)

By Monday night, Sara was feeling a little better and she and Mick had fun playing:




Mick loves to go outside! Its the first thing he wants to do when he wakes up! On Tuesday morning, Sara slept late so Mick and I went outside to blow bubbles- another one of his favorite things! He's actually pretty good at it :)
A special thanks to Aunt Connie and Jennifer for helping me with the kids on Tuesday. It was a crazy day- I had a doctor's appointment, we got some windows replaced, and Mike was out of town! And another special thanks to Hanna for watching the kids Tuesday night while I went to the Brouillette's to celebrate Amy's birthday! Crazy day!



On Wednesday, Jennifer and I took Sara, JP, and Mick to the splash park in Gonzales. The kids had a blast!!
Mick likes to fill up his bucket:
JP and Sara couldn't eat enough watermelon (and me- it was so refreshing on a HOT day!)
We went to the Feinberg's for pizza Wednesday evening, but I was too tired to take any pictures. The kids did have a great time :) Thanks for dinner Feinbergs :)
On Thursday we went to Lafayette for me to teach. Here's a picture of Mick trying to go outside:


And here is a picture of the outfit Sara picked out for herself (yes- that is a Christmas shirt!) Silly girl!!

Hope you had a wonderful week too :)

July 17: Kristin's shower

On Saturday, we played around in the morning and then went to Alexandria for Aunt Kristin's shower.
Silly Mick:

Mick had fun making faces at the shower!



And Kristin got lots of great stuff :)

Mick loved to stand at the back door and look at the dogs. Dog is one of his favorite words! (Sorry there aren't any pictures of Sara- but she was a little under the weather)

July 12-16

We had a great week! On Monday we took Sara to get her hair cut and Mick loved the train table :)


Then we met up with Jennifer, Peter, and JP at the mall for "Mommy & Me" Sara got this pink sword.

Mick is the perfect size for the mall playground! He LOVES it :)

Trying to jump:

He always ends up just falling off:

Sara and JP loved the carousel. Mick still isn't a huge fan...

JP on Mike the Tiger:

We also swam in our backyard. (Its so hot... I am going to have to get in with them next time..)

Everytime Mick went down the slide he waved "bye-bye" to me :) So sweet!

Fun times!!
Here's a duck Sara drew:


This is Sara as "stretch girl" She had been pretending to be Elasta-girl from the Incredibles but I guess she decided to make up her own character. I love the socks!!!

Mick wanted his picture taken too but apparently not with his sister :)
Here is a cute video of Mick- he doesn't like us to read to him, but he loves to read to himself!
