Making turkey napkin holders

Tho morning we took the kids to Home Depot for one of their free building workshops. Both kids loved it and Alex really got into it. He wouldn't let me take of his apron all morning and toted his napkin holder with him while we ran errands.

Ava has always loved playing in my closet and wearing my shoes. I don't think she can get any cuter...

Driving daddy's car

Since the weather has been so nice lately, we have been playing outside in the afternoon. The kids love it when daddy gets home when they both run over to him and climb into the car. Especially Alex. He loves everything about cars, trucks, lawn mowers, etc. such a boy!

Happy halloween!

Ava had a Halloween party at her school and they all dressed up. She wanted to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

Berry picking

We found a farm near our house which has tons of organic fruitws and vegetables. Both kids enjoy going and picking blackberries, raspberries, cucumbers, eggplant, corn, tomatoes, zuchini, squash and watermelon! I jokingly say they should way the kids when they get there and when they leave to charge us for the berries they eat while picking. lol

Swim Lessons!

Both kids took swim lessons this year. I was amazed at how awesome Ava did. After the third day she was jumping in and swimming to the side. She still talks about all the things we did when she's in the tub/pool. We will continue them next year!

Memorial Day Fun with Friends!

We had our friends over with their kids for low country boil and watermelon. The kids had so much fun playing in the sprinklers, slip-n-slide and the pool. By the end of the night we tossed all 4 of them into the bathtub to hose them down. By the time we got them clean, the tub was filled with brown dirty water. Sign of a good day!
