Kees and Kora taking care of sick babies.
My friend Lavonne came over for coffee. Managed to get a picture of the "set up", but none when she was actually here.
They were having buy one, get one free shakes at Zip's. So, we were getting ready to pick Doug up to go get some.
Kora has a bat on her headband, and Kees needed one on his shoulder.
Always time to read, even if we're trying to head out the door.
On our way!
I'll take the "oarnge"!
Ketchup!!!
Friday night fun!
Doug took the kids swimming, when they got home they got baths, jammies, and some screen time.
Kora decided Doug's feet were her babies. She offered them some of her water and read to them from the bible.
Saturday:
I had a relaxing Saturday. And took ONE photo...
Sunday:
When I was on the ladies retreat, I left my toothbrush in the hotel room. Megan gave it back to me on Sunday and I was so happy about it. I had to use a manual brush for two weeks, and I was so glad to have this one!
Sleeping...
Kees is such a grumpus when he gets woken up.
Waiting by the door, good kids!
Taco truck! Yum!
Picnic at the park.
Kees turned all of these to red.
They were fighting fires. After each one they put out, they turned one of the reds to blue.
Upset because Kora got in the van before him.
He got over it.
Heading to the Halloween store.
Kora didn't like the scary stuff.
Kees got braver and braver.
Save me daddy!
Not too traumatized!
At the last possible minute, Doug decided to roast coffee beans. We were supposed to be getting ready to head to church for Pastor Jim's ordination.
Fiesta themed dinner.
This was our THIRD spill of the day. First, Kora poured water all down the front of herself in Sunday School. Then, she spilled water at the dinner. Next thing I know, Kees spilled his kool aid. Good thing it was green kool aid on a green table cloth. Do we get points for color coordinating our spills?
Kora usually goes to nursery on Sunday evenings. So she's never been to big church here. She was pretty good.
Singing
Praying.
Kees found all the big numbers.
Piñata time!
And CAKE!
Monday:
Cereal, for Kora, and her baby.
Numbers 1-30 this week.
Kora said she was setting up a show for her babies, that's why she needed the cord.
More counting.
We were doing school in between getting our house ready for company. The kids were so good, it got a little crazy at the very last, but for the most part, they were awesome!
Asked them to read under the table.
Playing with their monster puppet.
And here's some crazy, why did they pull all the books out and make them into houses. I'm such a stickler about books, we put them up, and discussed again, how to care for books. GEEZE!
Our company arrived, we went for a walk and played at the park. Then went back to our place for taco soup and a movie. So much fun catching up with the Rees family. They were able to stay a couple nights.
We saw a helicopter!
Tuesday:
I laughed so hard! I got in the car and found this ice cream in the trash with a spoon right in it. I guess when Doug came home for lunch on Monday, he ate the last tiny bit on his way out the door. Then put this right in our car trash basket.
Getting a tour of the GoodSeed office.
The Reess had lunch plans with another friend, but we had enough time to squeeze in a quick trip to Ft Sherman park. The kids and I ran to Winco, then grabbed lunch at home, then headed to a second park to play after their lunch. It was a gorgeous day!
Found Minnie Mouse on the ground, Kora had dropped her.
This was what she did, when I asked where Minnie was....
Kees dug a hole, then sat right in it.
We picked Doug up from work, and then headed over to re-sign the lease for our apartment. I surprised him with eggnog.
Kees was sitting in my lap when I was signing and initialing 15 thousand documents. His back pockets felt weird. They were FULL of sand...unintentionally on his part from when he was sitting in the hole he dug.
I hung him upside down by his feet and shook all the sand out. He thought that was so fun!
Our guests gave us this cool pumpkin!
Wednesday:
We finally got to go play at Aunt Sandy's new place. She's still setting everything up, but she had gone out of her way to make sure my kiddos would have toys and books. Love her!
Sandy and I saw Kora outside doing his. We thought she was hugging the ball, and then we thought she was just deflating the ball. We found out 10 minutes later, that she was terrified of the owl statues in Sandy's yard. Poor thing! Sandy moved them to the shed and promised Kora she'd get rid of them.
Picking blueberries.
Apples!
Playing ball, being silly, looking at the sky, and just loving the weather.
Reading with Sandy.
At Walmart, and for once, it was actually pleasant! Yay!
Trying on our costumes. We ordered online, then waited till we had both of them, and gave them to the kids.
Kora was scared of Kees.
I asked her to smile, she said, "NO! Me meow, meow!"
Thursday:
We went to Sandy's place again, and took Bonnie with us this time. Bonnie knows all sorts of stuff about roses, and gardens. It was fun looking through the yard with her. As soon as Kora woke up, she said, "Me go Sanny's house, now!" We had to entertain ourselves for a while before we could head over there.
Kora scared Kees. Then showed zero remorse. I got pictures of all this, but then we sat down and talked to each other, hugged, said our "sorries", then had a tickle fight.
See, she's not sorry...yet.
They both wanted to sit with me. So cute, Kora says, "Me sit, other lap!"
The guru in action!
Cookies!
This is one of the owls that scared Kora.
We picked Doug up from work, then we got some yummy samples at Costco, and rode this pony.
Got the kids some marbles, for counting fun. They played with them. Kees built a road, and Kora made a house. Kees used his monster trucks to flatten the road.
Whew! That's our week in review, hope y'all have a great weekend!
Great blog and marvelous pics
