Splishy Splashy

Just a little bathtime fun.. my kids love to take baths together.. and play in the bubbles.. Evan likes to swim in the tub.. I'm tellin' ya, he's gonna be a little swimmer like Evelyn.








And here they are watching cartoons in the morning with Mommy....

Yo Ho! It's a Pirate's Life For Me!

Been pillaging Navy guards and pludering ships on Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Online game. www.piratesonline.com
I downloaded it for Evie about a week ago and It's me that's addicted. Well.. Evie is as well! You can get basic access for free which is great! I think after 7 days, it's about the same only then you have to contend with a smaller screen with ads around it... we've decided that we like it enough to pay the membership fee.

So if you like the movies, you'll love the game.. all of the charachters that you love, (Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Barbosa, Tia Dalma, etc.) are in it.. plus many more.. you have to sink and steal from Navy and East India Trading Company ships.. and lots more. It's a HUGE map with tons to do.. crews to assemble with your friends and you can play together. John Michael and Evie's charachters are on a crew together and can sail ships and do tasks together. Evie's Pirate is named, "Cap" (after her imaginary friend), and you can design your own girl or guy..



My Pirate is called "Eliza Firehazzard" (You can create a name from the different names that they provide)


Here I am in Tortuga


And here's my ship.. on fire.. just got hit by two Navy ships.. bastards!
But I got to shore and had it repaired!


The music in the game is straight out of the movies.. funny I hadn't realized that until yesterday, Evie and I were watching Pirates 3, "At World's End" and Evie was like.. "We know that song!" She remembered it from the game.

Anyway.. it's a great way to unwind at the end of the night for me.. and a great way to play something with Evie that I actually can get in to!

There are different servers you can play on since the online world is so big.. I like to play on the same server each time in case friends wanna find me.. It's called "Angassa" (Angassa Ocean), so if you hop on, look me up!

Back to the game!!
Night!

A little more summer fun!!!

This morning the kids and I went to the pool... again... we've been trying to go every day that I have off.. which has been a bit. There was literally NO ONE but us at the pool from 10 am till a few minutes before they opened (one other family), they let us stay in the baby pool up until about 5 minutes until they opened the big pool, since we were the only ones there!
The kids had a great time, as usual..





We had our snack in the concession area and they were blaring country music, anyone who knows me will tell you that I DON'T listen to country music.. but my kids sure seemed to enjoy it.. neither one could stop dancing! LOL
Enjoy the video!



School starts next week! Hope everyone is enjoying the last days of summer! What fantastic weather!

"Hey Hey I Wanna be a Rock Star"

Evan LOVES music, just like his sister did when she was a baby.
Here he is applauding Daddy while he is playing his guitar, and then deciding to help out!

Get your motor runnin'.....

Vroom Vroom! My little man is cruisin' all over the house with his walk behind car this morning!



It's only a short matter of time until he is off and running on his own... Look out for your stuff, Sister Evie!

Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill.....

or..... Evie, Evan and friends went up the "mountain" as the kids called it.
What a full day! Today after Evan's little friend, Olivia's birthday party, (which was a blast, thanks, Jen for inviting us!), I took my kiddos to Evie's new school and got her registered for Kindegarten.. I know.. I know.. Kindegarten. *sigh*
Then we got our naps and got refreshed and went back out to enjoy the wonderful, sunny 80 degree weather! Can you believe this?! 82 degrees... in AUGUST! It's been an amazing summer.. Anyway.. we met Hope and kids at the local children's zoo and after that we walked over to the big grassy "mountain" so that the big kids, (Evie and John Michael) could climb up it.

Aaron and Evan were content at first, to play at the bottom of the hill with the stroller.






Then Aaron had to get in on the action bolting up the hill.. Hope, of course had to go up.. Here's Evie coming down the hill with them..


So... before I knew it, Evan was crawling as fast as his little body would allow up this huge "mountain".


As long as he was crawling straightforward things went smoothly. once in a while he would try to sit up and one time he started rolling backwards down the hill.. he quickly grabbed the grass and hiked himself back up with a slightly panicked look on his face.. and then he trekked back up like nothing had ever happened.
Almost to the top...



And at the very top.. see how tiny our stroller at the bottom looks? He made it up completly by himself and looked very proud.



I had to help him down, though.. he couldn't figure it out.. you can't simply "crawl down face first LOL

So, we had a great day! I hope to have a new blog up later with pictures from Olivia's party. The babies were so cute!!

Ta ta for now!
