A "P"erfect "P"air

A couple of weeks ago . . . I know, I know . . . we had the privilege of entertaining our sweet friend, Little Lamb, for the weekend. Her parents had a great little escape and I was so glad they offered us one of their clan . . . someday I will have a larger vehicle so I can take more than one of that great bunch!

Anyway, the girls absolutely are the perfect pals! I'm not sure I heard a single word from them . . . except at nap time the second day. Same room was not a good idea. Anyway, they had a blast!

"Flying Princesses" thus the butterfly wings! Too funny. They ran circles with their wands, clacking shoes and the magic music box. What great imaginations.

Since it was just me and the kids for dinner, we had a "P" night! Pizza, peaches and (after a clean plate) Popsicles. I think it was a hit! *wink*

Daddy Lion rocks on Sunday mornings! So with his help we were still out the door at our normal time for church! I couldn't resist taking a pic of these cute kids!

Can you believe this was the first picture! Never is my first shot a keeper! Thanks again for letting us have your sweet Lamb for the weekend. We look forward to many more weekends of fun!

First Friends here we come!

Little Pumpkin finally gets to start preschool! She has been waiting for this day for who knows how long! Probably from the first time we dropped Little Lion off at preschool!

Meet the teacher was back on the third, she was so excited! She wouldn't stop long enough for a picture!

Little Pumpkin carrying her supplies to the classroom!

We are SO blessed to have two very social and loving children! Little Pumpkin held nothing back as she walked in the classroom!

She really didn't want to stop for a picture ~ too many new toys and centers to check out! Thankfully she did oblige, at least the teachers are smiling!

The first day of school! She was SO ready! It was also the first day of MOPS for Mommy Lion so Daddy Lion was awesome and took both Little Lion and Little Pumpkin to school! My wonderful co-coordinator remembered her camera and blogged about our first meeting! Thanks Jaime!

Got to catch a pic of the two of them! Plus my newly planted flower - Ixora! Hoping it does better than the butterfly bush! *grin* So if you can't find me on a Tues or Thurs I'm enjoying some children free days. Actually I've been running around crazy busy! Where's the bon bons and "The View"???

Happy Grandparents Day . . .

Yesterday! *grin*

Yesterday was Grandparents day and we went to lunch with the local grandparents:

Little Lion and Lolly

Little Pumpkin and Pop

We are so thankful for all our grandparents and the important roles they play in the lives of our children. Thank you so much for loving them! We truly appreciate you guys!

So here's our shout out to Grandpa and Grandma, Papaw and Ms. K, & Lolly and Pop!

We LOVE you!

Happy Birthday to LITTLE LION!!!

It's already hard enough to believe that Little Lion has started school, but now he is 6 years old! This is now the point in our married life where we have been married w/o kids just as long as married w/ kids ~ whoa!

Well, Little Lion jumpstarted his bday at Sonic with Daddy Lion! Chicken tenders, tater tots and an apple juice slush!?! (At least Daddy Lion stood firm against the hamburger he wanted!)

I showed up at school with 2 dozen red cupcakes and transformer napkins & plates. The boys loved it ~ the girls just loved the cupcakes . . . and Little Pumpkin.

Mrs. Baker leading the class in Happy Birthday to Little Lion! Can you tell he is loving it?

Little Pumpkin ended up looking like a clown. . . whose idea was red cupcakes? (It's his favorite color you know!?!)

After school, our sweet friend Aligator came out with Little Lamb to deliver a b-day gift: a classic movie ~ ol' yellar. They loved their short play time together & our neighbor friends: Mr.M and Miss. S came down too.

Not sure what blogger's problem is!?!

We picked up Daddy Lion at work headed to Sonic for another slush (cherry this time) then to Papacita's for dinner. (The yummiest TexMex in town. The kids LOVE the tortillas which makes for a cheap dinner out!) Then back home for cake and ice cream ~ TRANSFORMER cake!

Check out this loot! People this was not a "party" this all family!

Can you say: S-P-O-I-L-E-D!

Obviously there were a ton of opening presents pics; I'll spare you. But I had to post this one of Little Pumpkin! I'm not sure how much use Little Lion will get out of his new skateboard, but Little Pumpkin has already put some miles on it! *wink*

I'm not sure how well you can see the specks in his hair ~ gotta love Silly String! What a great time celebrating one the best days in my life! Happy Birthday Little Lion!
