Tuesday, 6/29:
Not much going on today. The girls went to daycare and Scout was sooo happy to see Miss Jay Jay. Jay Jay's been on vacation and it's been 2 weeks since she's seen her.

Mommy cleaned in the girls' room. It needed it. I noticed that, apparently, during her nap yesterday Scout decided to finger paint with poop. She had thrown her blanket and stuffed animals out of the bed, so the mess was all on the bed itself and the wall. Yep. We're horrible parents. Somehow, Michael and I both missed it and she slept in there last night with the poop. I wish I could say it was a lesson we were teaching her or something, but it wasn't. Anyway, here are a couple of before/ after pics of the room.

Before:




After:






Looking at these pics, I need to move Scouts bed and mop under there. Ooops. I turned Dylan's crib around and moved the rocking chair in between the two to create a sleeping area and a playing area. :-) That stack of stuff in the corner is all being sold or donated very soon.

Wednesday 6/30:
This morning Scout and I went to story time at the library. Scout was a total brat. I hate to say it, but it's true. She didn't want to listen to the story and whined the whole time. So, we came home after story time, ate lunch, and she took a nap. After her nap, we tried out the new play area complete with forgotten toys. :-)




We played outside for a little bit while we were waiting for Dylan to wake up. At one point I asked Scout if she wanted to go swing on the big swing and she said, "No. It too hot outside. Wanna go inside." It must have been hot because she never wants to go back inside! When Dylan woke up, we played for a while inside


One of D's new words is "ball". She loves saying it and playing with them! This is her favorite to chase around the room. It's so funny because it's almost bigger than her!


Mommy and Dylan hamming it up


Dylan also learned how to climb up on the couch in the last few days. Today I caught it in pictures
Asking for help


I think I can


I think I can


I can!


Scout and baby Lucy watching TV


She was so funny tonight! We watched Go Diego, Go and she was doing just what he told her to do. Running in place, jumping, and I got a picture of her covering up so the acorns wouldn't hit her on the head. Ha ha!


Just before bedtime, she served up some yummy ice cream



Who wants some?

First a few of the pictures from yesterday:











Monday 6/28:

Happy birthday to me... I'm 31 years old today!

This morning we got up and took the family picture we tried to take yesterday. There were a few cute ones, but this is the one we printed



Scout is turning into quite a little mommy to her baby Lucy. Today she wanted to change her diaper and feed her.



Then she told me it was time for Lucy to take a nap and I came into the living room to find this



After naps for the girls and lunch, we ran some errands. We went to Sams and got pictures





Then we went to Hobby Lobby and got some frames and things. Then we went and ate at Olive Garden to celebrate my birthday.






That's about it... tonight Michael put Scout to bed again and while she did stay up a while, she wasn't screaming and crying, so that's an improvement. Goodnight, all!

Sunday 6/27:

Remember how I was talking about how Scout isn't sleeping at night. Well, last night she pulled a big one. We didn't know it until this morning... she took off her pajama pants and her diaper sometime last night. This wouldn't be a big deal, but she peed EVERYWHERE! I keep the beds double-sheeted with a waterproof mat between the layers, but it didn't help anything last night... and I JUST washed their sheets earlier this week. *sigh*

So this morning Scout wanted to play "hide and seek" which is really just peek-a-boo under a blanket. lol! We made a super-secret hiding place under the table. Want to see?

Where did they go?


Oh! There they are!


I think we played for an hour straight - and then they played with daddy again tonight!


Dylan went down for a nap and I went to church. When I came home, both girls were waking up from naps so we ate lunch and played some more. Then we got ready to go take some pictures. Check out Scout's hair! Isn't it cute?




The plan was to take some of each of us and some of the family but it was seriously hot! I know it was over 100 degrees - my car said it was 103. We melted. And melted down. The pictures are on the good camera and I haven't even looked at them yet, so I won't be posting those today. Tonight Scout gave me another gem that I will be putting in the sidebar. The girls took a nap when we got home, got up, ate, played hide and seek with daddy while I cleaned in the kitchen and did a load of laundry. I gave them a bath and put Dylan to bed... played with Scout for a while and when it was time for her to go to bed. She didn't want mommy to put her to bed. She wanted daddy. That was a first. And she is quiet upstairs... daddy may be putting her to bed more often!

Saturday 6/26:

What a long day! Whew! Aunt Sarah, Scout, Dylan and I ran some errands after a morning nap from the girls. First, we stopped at Cotton Patch to eat lunch. The girls shared a kids chicken strip dinner.


Scout browsing the menu


Next we stopped at the dollar store and got some bubbles and a Toy Story frisbee. Next, we stopped at Target. The girls started getting antsy and I gave them some cookies. Dylan made quite a mess of it!



and she was so very proud of it!


Next, we stopped at Lowes and I ran in to get a couple of things while Aunt Sarah stayed in the car with the girls. On the way home, we drove by Michael's new school to show Sarah how amazing it is. She was properly impressed, I think. lol! Then we stopped at Brookshires for some groceries. At first, Scout and I went in because Dylan was sleeping, but she and Aunt Sarah soon joined us. Here's Scout being the little shopper


When we got home, we had some strawberry/ blueberry shortcake!


The girls loved it








After that, Aunt Sarah had to leave. :-( We played in the living room for a while with Daddy




Then we went outside and played in the sprinkler.





Then the girls ran around in their diapers for the rest of the night!


Scout was so tired and cranky. She wanted to go to bed early, and she's been up there for nearly an hour singing and screaming at the top of her lungs. She's been like that the past few nights. I'm not sure what the deal is... she is soooo tired but just will NOT go to sleep. I hate letting her scream, but if I go in there (like I finally did last night) she and Dylan both wake up again and the whole thing starts over. *sigh* Wish me luck!
