October fun

My mom and sister made the girls a house out of cardboard. They even used crayola hand paint and painted the outside with their handprints and names. The girls played in it almost every day until it rained and the whole thing fell apart.

Remember when you were young and made a telephone out of string and cans? They had a lot of fun with it!

Green Coconut Play Dough

I went online this evening and got a recipe for homemade play dough  for the girls. For some reason when my niece is here with us the kids fight with each other. I hoped that making play dough would calm the madness. It worked!! So, we made green play dough and put some coconut extract in it so it would smell good.

Birthday!

Last Saturday was my birthday and I was so blessed by family and friends. Last year my brother Dustin was the only peron that remembered my birthday, so, everyone made up for it this year. Saturday night Cecil and I went to dinner with 6 of our friends. We laughed a lot, played jokes on one another and ate some really good food. Thanks everyone for making my birthday special. Below is a picture of Cecil and I and then me and Donna.

Labor Day

We spent Labor day with Aden, Mary and Kezia this year. We had brunch at their house and then went out on the boat. Aubrey was so scared that she covered her eyes the entire time. It was pretty funny!

Children's Mueseum of Houston

My friend Mary and I took our girls to the Childrens Museum today. As soon as we walked in I realized that as I child my mom had actually taken me there. I remember having so much fun! Only Aubrey and Kezia were able to go because Aleisha is now in school. I hate that she had to miss out on all the fun. It just doesn't seem fair to me. :(

There was a place to sit in front of a mirror where you could use these crayons to color on your skin. It think Aubrey went a little over board with it. After she finished my sister in law realized that a warning sign says, Do not paint on eyes or lips. Oooppppsss!

This picture is the first time she saw her blue lips.

Crazy Aubrey

Thank God I had my phone right beside me to catch this video. Aleisha and I were laughing so hard!
