FROGGIE

Last week we found this out on the lanai. Being the supercool mom that I am, I caught it for the kids to look at. We watched the "froggie" for a few minutes before we let him go in the bushes behind the house. The kids loved it and Banastre even told it bye as he chased it away!

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere!!

I had really hoped this post would be a video of the the space shuttle that launched last night. The last time one launched we could see it clearly from our clubhouse. Unfortunately, last night was very cloudy and hazy. All we were able to see was a bit of the smoke cloud behind the shuttle. The first time we saw a shuttle launch, I forgot my camera. Last night I had it with me...so maybe next time I will have perfect weather and my camera so I can share the pics and video with you!

So, instead of the shuttle I give you BUBBLES. I found this great bubble machine and the kids have been loving it. We go out on the lanai and have lots of fun with the bubbles! As you can see in the pictures!

A Kitty in the House

During this summer, the Legend's Clubhouse has had children's activities to keep them busy. Last week was carnival week. They had a person come in and teach the kids how to do face painting and then painted each child's face. Elizabeth chose to become a kitty. I think it turned out beautifully. We had dinner at Disney this same night and it was amazing at all of the comments that she received. She even had one Cast Member talk to her about it! She was so proud and acted like a kitty all day!

Just Plain Goofy

Loving my Goofy!


THIS is how much I love him!!

Banastre's obsession at the moment is still with Goofy. He must watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 5 times a day. Then, at bedtime, he puts both Goofy dolls in his bed, makes Mommy, Daddy, and Sissy all kiss Goofy as we are kissing him goodnight. He then goes to sleep holding all three of his dolls. It's very sweet.

I don't remember Elizabeth being attached to anything like this when she was 18 months old. It really proves that every child is different!

A few random Pics I found

Ok, Mom. I have added a pic from me at the beach! But be warned...I am on the move to get all this extra baby weight off by Christmas! I may not make it all the way back to my "Hooter's" size, but at least close to it!!!!!!!!

Playing in the Rain

Yesterday started out as a stormy day, but eventually it just turned to all rain. The kids were dying to go outside and we hadn't left the house at all. So, what does a good mommy do? She lets them go out and play in the rain!!! They both had so much fun and it brought back memories of playing in the rain when I was a child.

The pic with Banastre squatted down and hands on his face was all his idea. He came up to me, grabbed the camera and said cheeeese.... So, I took out the camera and this is the pose he gave me. I have several like it and he even had sissy doing it too!

I am sure that the next time it rains without storming they will be asking to do this again.

I warned you!!

Ok, I warned you that soon there would be tons of pics!!

Banastre's version of a cart wheel. Get down and look at him in the same way and he will laugh uncontrollably!!!!

Banastre's new phrase "Hi Ba-beee"

Banastre is growing by leaps and bounds right now. His favorite word is mine or my. As in "My Pooh", "My Tigger", or anything else that is "his". He loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Thank goodness for DVR. I have every episode ever made recorded and we watch them all multiple times a week. Whether the TV is on or off he will walk to it and yell "Oh Toodles". If you don't turn it on, he will let you know how upset he is. He has two new Goofy dolls that must do everything and go everywhere with us. He attempts to count, but his numbers are restricted to Two, Threeeeeee, and then if nothing happens at three he will say nine.
He loves the pool and water. He especially loved the sand at the beach. He was perfectly content to sit under the umbrella and play all day.

Ok, that's all I can think of tonight. I am sure I will be adding much more over the next few days.
