Weekend trip to Houston

Trey and Paige had a blast with Kaitlyn, Emma & Lauren on a quick weekend trip to Aunt Caralyn's and Uncle Paul's. It was great to see the girls and laugh a bit with C&P. Unfortunately, there wasn't any adult game playing (ie, spades) due to me not feeling that great. Oh well, there is always next time!

Little girls on big bed.

Goldfish time!

Chillin' out.

Two pretty (skinny!) blondes.

Jump jump jump! Paige was addicted to this trampoline.

Sleepover in the game room watching Curious George.

We miss you a bunch Orman family!!

First Day of Preschool

Okay, so I am 3 weeks late with posting this one. Paige did great the first three weeks of school and came home with a note each time that said she is such a happy girl. Then the separation anxiety fairy must have tapped her on the shoulder b/c now she is just not so happy anymore. I had to pick her up early one day and the last day she cried off and on. Keep your fingers crossed that this stage passes fast!

Cameron Park Zoo in Waco

For Labor Day we decided to go to the zoo in Waco. Trey was so excited for his first trip to a zoo and he really loved it. Paige, not so much. She has my super smelling ability and really didn't like all the smells in the zoo and was somewhat afraid of some of the animals. They both did great though.

At the entrance.

Ladybugs and butterflies.

Music chimes under the tiles. When you jump, they 'sing'. Really cool.

The ride home...silly Mommy Dog.

This one is zonked out. Gotta love the zoo!!

Blooming

Remember this picture from one of my posts from June? Well I just wanted to show you how great these flowers (plumbago {purpley blue ones in back} and vinca {little white & pink ones in front right}) have done in this extreme heat and drought we are having in central Tx. And what about the red ones in the front left you ask?? Well, the deer ate them two weeks after I planted them in the ground. Oh well.
