My computer is being stupid. I can't upload pictures to blogger all of a sudden. I have a week's worth of pictures to share, and no way to do it! May try to upload to photobucket tonight and post tomorrow. Grrrr. Technology.

Girls playing
Monday, August 2:
This morning we went to Chic Fil A for breakfast and played for a while.
Then I took the girls to get insurance paperwork signed and to my school! They had fun there and got to meet lots of new people. We came home, had lunch, and took naps
When the girls woke up, we went to the library and then to Braums where we spoiled our dinner with ice cream!
Tuesday, August 3:
Today the girls went to daycare, Michael went to his school to hang lights, and I did absolutely nothing. It was wonderful. Except for the heat.
Wednesday, August 4:
Today I had training and Michael stayed home with the girls. When I came home, Scout's face was all red
To make a long story short, Scout found mommy's foot file and loved on it. *insert eye roll here* I'm pretty sure she learned her lesson, though.
Thursday, August 5:
Today I had to go to training again and the girls went to daycare. Michael brought home another dog. Meet Sookie.
Yeah, she's big!
Here are some pictures of the completed living room for anyone curious

Scout's shrine
New shelf in dining room

Wednesday 7/28:
We had a lazy play-around-the-house day today. Scout painted this morning while Dylan was napping. You can really tell what it is! She painted a sun, clouds, grass, and flowers. It's hanging up on the refrigerator now and she will point it out to you every time she sees it.
They were snacking on their couch and I went to take a picture... the look on Dylan's face cracks me up! It's li
Thursday 7/29:
Today the girls were at day care today and mommy and daddy were busy little bees! We got almost the entire living room painted, and the furniture put back in the room. Michael painted the fan and we changed out the light shades. I picked up these at Home Depot. I also went to the eye doc and got new contacts. My prescription hasn't changed at all in 3 years, so that's good.
When the girls came home, we kept them out of the living room for most of the night. Here are some fabulous eating pictures. They're so messy!
Friday 7/30:
Well, we still had part of the floor left to paint today, so I took the girls out for a while as soon as we woke up and Michael stayed home to finish the painting. First, we went to the park. I don't know if you can tell, but the girls are holding hands here. So cute!
Scout got way ahead of us... this is the bridge from the parking lot to the park area.
Here we are playing. Scout pouted when I told her it was almost time to go.
Next, we stopped for donuts. Scout showed me her chocolate one
Dylan had a mouth full and showed me anyway.
We came home and had naps, ate lunch, and all got in the car to run errands. We spent too much time and money at Half Price Books and Ikea. We went to the Chinese Buffet and the girls had jello for dessert. Here is Scout's really BIG jello!
It didn't matter how much jello we put in front of Dylan - she crammed it all in her mouth!
Jello monster!
Tonight I bathed the girls and while I was putting Dylan's pajamas on, I heard Scout say, "Somebody pooped in here!" She was still in the tub. I popped my head in, preparing to have some major cleaning to do, and she smiled at me and said, "Naaaaah! Just kidding, mommy!" What a sense of humor she has.
Saturday 7/31:
While I was making breakfast, I hear "Where are Scout and Dylan???" Can you guess where they were?
Here is what our entertainment center looks like now - we got the boxes at Ikea. You can also get an idea of the colors we used. I'll try to take more pictures of the room tomorrow or next week.
In addition to the living room, we also bought two shelves to put the girls' toys in. One for downstairs and one for their room. They don't do much playing in their room right now because it's so hot during the day, but things will cool down soon enough and they'll do more playing up there. In the process of organizing their toys, we "rediscovered" some toys. The girls now have a drawer of dress up clothes on their new shelves. Scout wanted to be a fairy princess. Isn't she adorable!
Here are the new shelves upstairs
We got out all of the plastic food and pots and pans and played with her kitchen
Look at the little chef!
Mr and Mrs Potato Head came back
Sweet girl!
Scout was quite a chatterbox all day today. I don't think she stopped talking AT ALL except to sleep. It was cute at first, but by dinner time, I was ready to get the duct tape! lol! And here I am... blogging. Hope someone is reading!

Tuesday 7/27:
No exciting pictures really, today. The girls went to daycare and Michael and I went on a date. We had lunch and saw "Inception". He saw it when I was in SM, but he had such good things to say about it that we went again. It was blow-your-mind amazing. If anyone reading has a chance to go see it, I would recommend it whole-heartedly. We came home and got the girls. They had a great time after being gone so long! One weird note - Scout held her pee all day for some reason. She didn't even pee at nap time! She waited until got home and peed several times before bedtime.
Here she is tonight being sooo silly.
See the sidebar for her silly quote from today

July 19 - 26, 2010
I've got a lot to catch up on! Over a week of pictures - and they are vacation pictures at that! I have nearly 300 pictures to sort through and decide which to post here, so bare with me. :-)
Monday 7/19:
Most of the day was spent at the house. We went to the library and checked out some new books and movies.
Scout's new favorite spot - in front of the fish tank!
Dylan played with her car - Vroom! Vroom!
Smiling girls!
Tuesday 7/20:
Today we drove to Grandma Sue Sue's house! Aunt Sarah and the girls and I drove to San Marcos for 6 whole days. The girls did pretty good in the car and we made it to SM by 3. That night, we had cupcakes for dessert! Dylan shared hers with Sue Sue
Story time before bed
Wednesday 7/21:
Up and at 'em!
Scout helped Sue Sue decorate a cake for Grandma Rie and Papa Earl
We had a good visit with them.
I think they enjoyed the visit, too
Thursday 7/22:
This morning we got up and went to story time at Sue Sue's library. This lap time didn't last long. Dylan was so tired that she knew if she sat still for more than 30 seconds, she would fall asleep. So, she was up and roaming around growling like the dinosaur we were reading about.
After lunch, the great-grandparents left but we got some pictures first!
Aren't they adorable?
This afternoon, we went to the childrens' museum in New Braunfels. It was tons of fun! The girls loved the spaceship the most.
They got to be astronauts and push all of the buttons.
There was a little grocery store where they got to fill their baskets with fake food
Then they got to check out
Dylan for sale!
Oh, wait. She's shopping!
Outside, Scout climbed a wall... for about 5 seconds
Aunt Sarah and Dylan hung out for a while
When we got hot, we went back inside and rowed a boat
We went in caves, saw fish and alligators, played with our shadows... and then we got tired and went back to grandma's.
Friday 7/23:
Today was our day with Aunt Michelle! We had big plans to spend time outside, but Mother Nature rained on our parade - literally! So, we made indoor plans - and had tons of fun anyway! We went to a place called Loco-Motion in South Austin - if you're ever looking for something to do with kids in the area, I highly recommend it! The girls had a blast. Here's Dylan cruising around...
For some reason, I'm reminded of Princess Fionna from Shrek...
Tired princess
Riding the dragon!
Playing dress up in one of the little rooms. I love, love, love this picture!
Aunt Michelle played dress up, too
Look! It's Spider-Scout!
Treehouse
Lunch at Jason's Deli ended with ice cream cones for all
We went back to Aunt Michelle's house for a nap
Then we went back to Loco-Motion and played some more
Dylan was going from one window to the other playing with grandma and Aunt Michelle. I'm not sure who had more fun - her or them!
She had something very serious to say to Sue Sue
Saturday 7/24:
This morning Scout, Aunt Sarah, and I went for a walk and picked flowers.
At lunch, Aunt Michelle came to Sue Sue's house and Dylan played peek-a-boo with her foot.
After lunch, we went into the backyard and played in the little pool
We played with bubbles
And colored with chalk
Some of the chalk even ended up on the patio
Sunday 7/25:
Today was the last day at Sue Sue's house.
We had milk and cookies and Scout drank from a big girl cup
We drove home and it was a looooong trip! Traffic was horrible and it took over 7 hours to get home. It usually takes 5. The girls hung in there. They were very well behaved for the whole trip, for the most part. My little travelers! They were soooo glad to see daddy when we got home and so was I!
Monday 7/26:
Today we hung around the house for the day. I think we were all recovering from our travels. Tonight, Scout decided to give herself a banana facial - and hair treatment.
So, we headed for the tub where the girls got a long, playful bubble bath
