Ouch! and Rage!
Hey Agnes! Whatcha doing?
See my new teeth, I’m full of rage!
I’m cutting 6 teeth right now, so say hello to sleepless nights Mommy.
I will still put on my cutie-pie face, but then I will bite your arm.
That’s right, we counted them last night… Agnes is cutting six teeth at the moment, and she is miserable. She is skipping naps, and feeling cruddy, but somehow at 2:00 a.m., she is wide awake and ready to be cheerful. Mommy, isn’t… Also on a side note, Dylan is hitting the terrible three’s hard.
He is moody and super grumpy too. Well then there is Thade, he is just Thade.
He is bouncing off the walls and being his usual crazy self. Bring on the migraine medicine, this is shaping up to be “one of those days”…
Daycation: George Washington Carver National Monument
This was a little adventure that we took earlier in the month.
The kiddos and I really needed a day out of the house, so we took Nana to lunch, and then we decided to head over to Diamond, MO and visit the George Washington Carver Museum. I hadn’t been there since I was a teenager, and I knew that the boy’s would love it.
The Museum is free to the public, and has a beautiful walking trail to take too.
I would like to visit again in the Fall.
There were lots of bridges to see.
The boy’s loved the lake.
It was a warm Summer day, and a thunderstorm was on its way.
There were lots of Bullfrogs and so many dragon-flies too.
We crossed one more bridge, to find the home that George Washington Carver grew up in.
It was a beautiful home.
The view was amazing too.
The day at the Museum was wonderful, and after all of that walking the boys crashed out for a bit too.
Bring on the Fall weather, so we can visit again.
Catching The Light
I really do love Summer-time storms…
It makes the prettiest Sunsets.
Now, if we could just see some cooler temps.
Daycation: Kiddieland
We are still working on our 25 Things to do this Summer activity list, and one of the activities that made the list was Kiddieland. It was 4th of July weekend and we met up with Grandma and Aunt Jill for a day at the park.
Kiddieland is full of great rides for kids. This time around Dylan was big enough to ride many of the rides. There is a Roller-coaster, a Ferris Wheel, a Train that tours the park, and many other rides too. The kiddos got to have Cotton Candy and Sno-cones too, they were super happy about that one.
There are boats to ride.
Dylan found a car to ride too.
Both of the boys loved the airplanes.
Thade got really brave this year. He rode a few small rides, and then opted to ride the Roller-coaster, once with Dad, and then a few times by himself.
The kiddos had a great time, and we just might have to visit Kiddieland another time or two this Summer.
