A Little Bit of Lauren

Lauren slept in this cute rainbow fairy costume that our neighbor gave her. She is always changing clothes and surprises me all the time with the things she finds to wear. Yet, she looks adorable in everything.

This is just one sample of how she loves to decorate. I find little set ups like these all over the house all the time.
Today she is our Fabric Queen. I got my box of fabric down out of the closet for a Girl's Camp project and Lauren decided to use her decorating talents and taped the different fabric pieces all over the walls and laid it out very nicely on the floor. She did a great job of decorating her palace.
I was sent this cute Thank You e-card from a preschool friend of Lauren's.
She got her face painted at the party like a cat and had lots of fun.
Afterwards, she went to one of our neighbors house to play and was bitten by their cute little hypoallergenic white fur ball dog. I am wondering if it was because she looked like a cat? I am glad to say that she still likes to go over to play and still prays for a dog every night.

These are some pictures I stole from Marci's blog of Lauren and Ella's play dates. So, so adorable!





Special Treatment

After our third year of Cousin's Camp, we decided it was about time to start a tradition for ourselves. So we went shopping, had pedicures and went out to eat at the Olive Garden ALONE. Good Times! Thanks Ladies!

A Blast from the Past!



Ethan's newest craze. I cannot believe that this is cool. Maybe it is just because I am a girl or a mom. But really, a tiny skateboard your fingers skate on. Give me a break.

Well, Ethan loves them. He has been trading them at school because EVERYONE has them. My favorite thing about them is that anywhere Ethan is sitting or standing this tiny skateboard is moving and jumping, like on the counter, the table, the arm of the chair, the desk, a book, etc. AND the noise alone drives me crazy.

When he bought his first one, Ethan and Matthew both spent a whole Saturday building ramps and half pipes out of cardboard for his TechDecks. It was actually kind of cute.

This reminds me of all the 100s of Pokemon cards that Matthew has. BOYS!!!!

Cinco Ranch Pool Busters

I love having friends that let me borrow their community pool key. Thank you so much! The Cinco Ranch pools are very entertaining for all the kids. It doesn't look like we are doing much, but it was nice to just relax and do whatever. And for once this pool wasn't too crowded and the weather wasn't too hot.

First Day of School

Ethan's solo picture. He was off to his first day of Junior at 7:00 am on his bike by himself. I am so not ready to start loosening those apron strings.
First day of school pose! Love, Love, Love these cute kids!

Welcome Back Rockin Rhinos!
The line of parents taking their kids to school on the first day.

It took just a little bit of time for Lauren to let us go before school started. But she was a brave girl.
