A Day at the Zoo

The day before Peter started Preschool, we decided to hit the zoo one last time. The kids loved it and the animals were very cooperative. Almost all were out waiting for us! It was the perfect day.

Katie loved the cement snake slide, though I could have done without it. She must have ran up and down it 40 times. Made for a good nap though. She didn't even make it the 10 miles home.

"Volunteering" at the Lego Store.

Sometimes, as a treat for Peter, we will stop by the Lego store to play. He loves to build the little men and could play there for hours. Nevermind that he has his own Legos at home.

As Peter plays, Katie busies herself, helping to keep the employees busy by rearranging the Legos in the bins. They are very thankful for the extra work.

The Photoshoot

So we were lucky enough to be chosen to be in a local magazine for my at-home calligraphy business. Well, we were photographed for it anyway. We'll see if we actually make the cut!

Peter and Katie were in great spirits, but the second the photographer, Penny Sylvia(http://www.pennysylvia.com/), took out the camera...suddenly they were shy (Peter) and squirmy (Katie). Lovely. She managed to get quite a few pictures and assured me they were great. :) She was so awesome with the kids. (P.S. This photo was clearly NOT taken by Penny!)

A Day At The Park

One of my favorite things to do is to take Peter and Katie to the park. One of Katie's favorite things to do is to keep mommy on her toes by climbing the jungle gym and then hanging dangerously off the sides the moment she gets out of arm's reach. It's exhausting for me, but it keeps her happy. Also, it wears her out for naptime, so I'm not complaining.

Today I dressed her some comfy climbing clothes. Old Navy jean shorts, Baby Togs top, and my favorite Target sandals, that have held up amazingly well all summer.

Early Morning Walk

Weekends are a perfect time for some mommy and me time, since Baba (Greek for daddy) is home to hang out with big brother.

This morning we went for a walk in the stroller while it was still nice and cool out (which explains the sweater in July). This sweater is our favorite since it was given to us by our favorite neighbor, Cookie.

Katie chattered during the entire walk, saying hello to every person and dog she saw.

Friday's Play Outfit

Here's Katie's little pink outfit for playing outside with the boys on a lazy Friday.

Sometimes on the days that Jenelle and Christopher come over for a playdate, I intentionally leave Katie in her jammies so Jenelle can play stylist. She appreciates it.

Today after many wardrobe changes, she decided upon this pretty little outfit. She spared Katie the hair styling. I guess she didn't want to hear her cry.

Thankfully this outfit washes well, because she immediately went outside and started playing in the dirt. She even wanted to play baseball with her brother, much to Peter's annoyance.
