Stomprockets

Here is a little video clip of the kids playing with their stomprockets. These are such a great toy--wonderful for fine motor skills and physical activity at the same time. Ava loves the idea of counting down--as I'm sure you can tell. She can count to ten, but always skips the number 4 and the number 7, I have no idea why! Lol. This clip also shows how sweet Aiden can be to Ava when he is trying to be a good big brother!

Popular

I was never super popular in school. I always had a few good friends, and my sister of course, and that was plenty for me. These days at Casa-de-Bailey, however, I am the hottest thing since sliced bread. I am THE most popular person in this house, hands down (sorry Chuck, just sayin'). My lap is the coolest place to hang out since The Max on Saved By The Bell. Both of The A's want to reside there permanently.

I'm starting to understand why it was so hard for Kelly Kapowski to always have Slater and Zach fighting over her. It's not fun having to turn down one of my A's, but my lap just isn't big enough for two (not that either of them would share it anyway!). Ah, well, I suppose there are worse things than being the most popular girl in the house:) Like being the breaker-up-of-fights, which I am off to do now before one of my A's kills the other one! Yikes!

(and they look so innocent in these pictures...)

Photo Friday

Just a few pics on this muggy Friday morning. We are off to feed the ducks and turtles at the pond before it gets too hot. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

Dino-table

Yesterday we went to the Macon Children's museum and the kids had so much fun playing with the animal table they have there. So I decided to take apart our train set and set up a dino-table for a while. The kids love it, and I had NO idea we had this many plastic dinosaurs laying around, lol. (To be fair though I did buy a few more in the dollar bins at Target!). We even added Diego's Dino Rescue Mountain and it's going to be a sanity-saver this week, I can tell already!

We're back!

Well, we are home from Jamaica. Sigh. What a wonderful trip it was. Now that we've seen how amazing an all-inclusive vacation can be, I am not sure we'll ever take any other kind of vacation! The resort was truly amazing. Incredible food, incredible staff, incredible drinks, just amazing all around. I couldn't have dreamed up a better vacation if I'd tried!

The kids had a great week with my mom. We are so thankful and grateful that she watched them all week! I knew I didn't need to worry and it helped us enjoy our vacation that much more. Plus they had an amazing week with their Granny and were very sad to see her go this afternoon. They miss you already Granny!

Here are the photos, enjoy!
