Playing catch up!

Soooooo, it's been awhile. Sorry!  Better late than never, right?  Here are some August/Sept pics!

Cookout at Eli's house wouldn't be complete without sprinkler action...

 Yes, Dom and Eli are getting their butts wet and dancing....

 A wet slide is a slippery slide...

 I love when I get pics of Ellie....doesn't happen often...

 Can you tell who dressed themselves this day?  Some things aren't worth the fight...

 Dentist appointment.  Pretty sure Dom's hygienist tried to kidnap him.  She loved him.

 Aunt Carey and Uncle Bill took the boys to the Baltimore Aquarium one weekend....they had A BLAST!

 And then Aunt Carey bought Vince a Minecraft building set....and each block had to be folded and made...by ME.  Thanks Aunt Carey...still beats the hell outta moon dough.

 Kangaroo Jac's and McDonald's with Cooper...

 Was it good Dom?

 Wonder where mom's gonna sleep??

 I took the boys to a Squirrels game.  I was extremely nervous but they were great and we had a good time!  Only lasted 5 innings but that was more than I expected.

 Had great seats (I have a connection at work)...

 Spiderman's ready!

 Cotton candy as big as his face!  YUMMO!

 I mean YUCKO!

 Gearing up for the first day of school with some science experiments...

 Magic milk....

 Balloons...

 Soap explosion...

 Making birthday party decorations...

 FIRST DAY OF 1st GRADE!  HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???

 Love love love those two...

 Rewarded myself with a little Kendra Scott goodness....

 2nd tooth is history!  That tooth fairy needs to start keeping some cash just in case....just saying...

 A collage of some of my favorite Dom pics....

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!

 Breakfast with this cutie before speech therapy!

Entertaining Dom at Vince's game....

 I took Dom to see Frozen On Ice....I bought the tickets thinking I would take Vince but he wasn't interested and his friend was having a bday party at the same time so I took Dommy instead....good choice...he LOVED IT!

 We went with my friend Lakhena...

 Just chilling with Anna and Elsa...

 1st grade homework is serious business....so is speech therapy homework....

 A slightly overcast day called for rainboots...just in case..

 Just perusing my cookbooks (that have collected dust)...

 Yeah, I knew cleaning was a waste of time...

 Snuggles before bed...

Sorry for all the randomness....I promise I will get better one day.  Next up....birthday party!

July/August

There are probably a lot of July pics but that's ok!  So, at work we have to get "credentials" every day.  They are randomly generated 3 letter combinations.  This was mine one day...MOM.  Best creds ever.  

 Dom LOVES the swing.

 Vince does too apparently

 Riding bikes at the park..

 Erin K and I went out for dinner and dessert one night....HELLO goodness.  Strawberry and whipped cream crepe.  Hell yeah.

 Dom slaying zombies...

 Cousin love....

 Thank goodness I finished the whole cup of coffee before he got to it.  That's the last thing on the face of the earth he needs.

 Making muffins....

 We went bowling with Whitney and her crew....

 Boys and their balls....

 At this point Dom was throwing a tantrum (hello 3's) b/c the bowling alley didn't have the "right" kind of juice that he wanted....so, he wasn't in the picture.

 Sleeping the tantrums away....

 The new splash park in Twin Hickory was a success.

 If this doesn't show my kids personalities, I don't know what does.  Vince just chilling and Dom getting water IN THE FACE....

 Good days start with a trip to the donut store...

 Look what happened!!!!  Someone got a visit from the tooth fairy last week!   He was such a good sport about it.  He actually let me pull it out without screaming bloody murder!

 Such a cutie patootie.

 We went to Chuck E Cheese for our mommy day.  The kids had fun and got to see the famous mouse.  Although, like the Chick Fil A cow, Dom was terrified...he ran the other way.  So funny that he's afraid of these characters....guess Disney is out for awhile!

Superheroes and Princesses

Hi again!  We're still all here!  Better late than never, right?  We had Hannah and Ellie over a few weeks ago for playtime....and pictures.  I love that they all cooperate (well, not as much Ellie) and let me dress them up and take their pictures.  There was no bribery at all...ok thats a total lie, there may have been candy offered up at the end.  

 Iron Man and Anna (from Frozen)

 AWWWWWW....shhh, don't tell her dad...

 Ellie would NOT stand with everyone else but I got a good one of her alone!

 Dom telling Vince to move away from his woman.

 Vince took a couple pics too...got this one of me and Hannah Belle..

 Me and Dom...

 And this beautiful one of Hannah...

 After playtime, they all chilled on the couch with ipads....perfect day!
