Clothes from Grandma

I promise I did not tell them to tilt their heads or pose in any way!

New pj's for Sadie.  New sweatshirt and hat for Landon.  A little too big, but it will work.

OSU toboggan for Duke!

Grandma Linda sent down a package for the kids.  Here's a few pics of them showing off their new clothes.  Thanks!

Sadie's New Coat

Yesterday Sadie and I had some girl shopping time together.  (while the boys stayed home & napped for 3 hours!  why doesn't that ever happen for me??)  We spent an hour and a half at Kohl's.  I am finding that I love that store!  We still had some gift card money left from Christmas and I was ready to spend!  The bad part is you never just spend how much is on the card...it's always more.  Well, this was my deal of the day.  I got Sadie a coat for next winter (and if we have any more cold days this winter...highly doubtful!).  This coat was originally $65.00 and I got it for $19.50!!  It is sooo soft and has fur in the hood and attached mittens too.  She was very excited and wanted to pose in it.  This is also my way of hoping we will be a little further north next winter and can put it to good use!

I also got 2 king size pillows (for whenever we get our king size bed...hopefully soon!), 4 towels and 12 pack of washcloths, 2 packs of socks & 2 packs of t-shirts for greg, comfy play pants for sadie, earrings, cups for the kids, a very cute plastic set of cups, plates & bowls, and a pack of 6 socks for duke.  Everyone got a little something on this shopping trip.  I haven't shopped like this for a long time...it could become habit forming!

It's All About the Poop

This past weekend Landon and Duke were playing in the back yard.  Landon came in and said "Duke pooped."  A few minutes later I walked in the back yard to check on him.  This is how I found Duke...on the trampoline and diaper-less!!  He's been in the habit of taking his own diaper off.  This time it had a ton of poop in it.  It was actually pretty cold that day, but he didn't mind.  He proceeded to jump and play.  (i have some other good ones, but they are too explicit!)

Can we say...static???

Just some fun pictures from tonight on the trampoline.  Greg thought Sadie's hair was hilarious and wanted to take pictures.

Party at the Park

We celebrated our friend Desi's birthday at the park today.  Here are a few of my favorite pics.

Date Night

Ready to head out.

With our good friends Tommy & Cassie (the other manager & his wife).

Last night was Greg's work Christmas party...yes, in January.  December is such a busy month, they decided to have it now.  It was at a gorgeous resort called The Gaylord Palms.  Free meal, free drinks, and even free rooms.  Too bad we couldn't take advantage of the overnight stay.  A bit of a disadvantage for not having grandparents close.  Our babysitter is so great and so sweet, but still not leaving her overnight with 3 toddlers!  She brought over her tiny puppy chihuahua for the kids.  They loved her!!  It was so nice to dress up and go out for an evening among friends and meet Greg's co-workers.
