I guess Camryn had a stronge craving for some instant mashed potatoes

Today we just hung out around the house and played. We played hide-n-seek for a little while, then Clayton went across the street to his friend's house. While Camryn is sleeping, mommy is going to clean (yes, again!). It seems like mommy gets everything cleaned and then she turns around and a room is dirty again (see picture). Oh well, I guess that's what mothers everywhere have to deal with!!!

Playing with his DS

This morning mommy did some cleaning up around the house. Then mommy took the kids to Game Stop to get Nintendo DS. Christian and Clayton traded their game boys and some of their games so that they could each get a Nintendo DS. They owed a little bit of money even after the trade, but Christian has been working around the house and the daycare and at mamaw's to earn his money. Clayton saves all of his money, so he already had it. They were thrilled with their new purchases. This afternoon while Camryn takes her nap, mommy is going to work on her licensing process and do some more housework. The video below is when mommy walked into the kitchen and found that Camryn had written all over her table with chalk. And the funny part is that she was soooo proud of herself for "coloring".

Today mommy took the kiddos to the zoo. We saw Jill, Brody, and Mollie while we were there. Wouldn't you know it though, I forgot my camera...... We had a fun time, but it was hot. So we spent a good portion of the zoo trip at the splash park. Mommy said "Oh, crap" about something, and Camryn repeated about 10 times the rest of the day "Oh, crap" I guess mommy will have to start watching what she says. You don't really think you talk bad until your two year old is mimicking you. After the zoo, mommy went to pick up mamaw Mary and we went downtown to pick up some paperwork for daycare. Then we went to eat at Qdoba. Mommy had a tour tonight, so the boys stayed with mamaw and papaw and went to Uncle Chad's soccer game. While I was doing my tour tonight, Camryn was "helping". It was for an infant spot and Camryn knew exactly what room to take them in. She showed the baby where he could go "night-night".

Christian showing off his new baseball hat that we bought while shopping

This morning we all got up and mommy made homemade waffles with her new waffle maker (Yummy). We were supposed to go to the zoo, but it was raining this morning, so we stuck around the house and played. After lunch, we went shopping for school uniforms. When we got home it was naptime for little two year olds. Camryn must have been tired, because it was the first time in a while that mommy told her it was naptime and she said "Okay" and went straight to her bed. Usually she says "No, mommy" and runs away from me. We stayed up a little later than usual last night to watch "The Wizard of Oz". Camryn and the boys really liked it. Not much else to report on for today. Tomorrow, we may try to do the zoo thing.

Papaw Fred knows how to get on Camryn's good side......feed her goldfish!!!!

This morning Daddy and the boys went to get their hair cut. Mommy and Camryn played outside and mommy cleaned out the van. After lunch, mommy took the kids to Mamaw Mary and Papaw Fred's pool to swim. While Camryn is taking her nap, mommy is going to the grocery. We are going to grill out tonight for dinner, so mommy has some things to get.

The Bookworm and Mommy
Can you tell that Clayton didn't want to get his picture taken??????

Today was a pretty relaxing day. We actually didn't have any plans and got to just hang out at home pretty much all day. Christian, Clayton, and Camryn played with the neighborhood kids for the first part of the morning, and then we just relaxed and watched t.v. and played Wii. Mommy had to go give a tour at daycare at 4:3o, but we were gone by 5:30 and then we picked up something to eat on the way home. Daddy got home pretty late because he is looking for a new truck, so he went to a car lot to shop.

"Who is that crazy lady in the mirror with the camera?"
"Ride em, cowboy!!"
Barney, meet Camryn
"Get me outta here!!!!!!"

This morning we got up, and went out to the daycare. Mommy was meeting an employee out there and doing a tour. The health inspector also came while we were out there this morning. After leaving the daycare we headed out to the mall to eat lunch at the food court (a great place for 3 kids who like different things!). Clayton ate more than I've ever seen him eat before. However, he didn't eat anything the rest of the day!!!! Mommy had to go to Frankfort, KY. to deliver some papers to a couple of places there for the daycare, so after lunch we went to Frankfort. It took about 1 1/2 hours. The kids were really good while I went to each place I needed to go to. So as a reward, on the way home from Frankfort, we stopped by Chuck-E-Cheeses. The kids played for a couple of hours and we ate dinner while we were there. We also went to get Camryn's hair cut for the 1st time. She only got the ends trimmed and didn't like even that too much. We were all four exhausted when we got home. Camryn says a new phrase now. She says, "Thank you, Mommy."
