A week in the life

Below is the awesome Bible school pic. So glad Hilly dressed normally that day.  Did I mention their class was just their friends? Tough life.

The girls are in their room now for the night and I heard hilly ask Jackie across the room what she was thinking about, which I love. Brian and Michael and I used to do that all the time.

Below is Hilly en route to watch Benny Boo basically observe his soccer class. 

The HAC game room after playing on the maze. 

Then we hit the birthday circuit. First was a set of twins Jackie's kindergarten. The party was at their house and the kids had a good time. They really sort of stick together though which I am fine with. 

Benny was with his buddy Drew the entire time. 

Below is one of my best friends Lisa holding Drew. 

The sandbox. 

We then went to Hannie's birthday party. I had the location wrong but after that snafu we were good to go. 

Girls night dinner at a new restaurant. 

The next day I was battling a bit of a stomach thing and finally motivated to get moving Sunday at 1.... After hours of the kids crying over Macky. We emerged with our newest family member. 

Corncob Lucas Snowball.  Recently they've been calling him Corncob Lucas Racing Stripes Snowball.  Each child picked 1 name. Hilly suggested "Flutter."

We took him to Grammy and Pops' house. 

He was super nervous this day. But he has relaxed with us since then. 

Jackie snuggling Corncob. 

Also- new ukelele lessons!!! 

The teacher wouldn't even see Hilly for 10 min. He said "we wouldn't get anything done." In my mind I was like dude! You only need to make her feel like she is getting a lesson so she doesn't cry. He didn't get it. Sigh. 

Anyway, Jack loved it. 

I was so proud of her I took them to get their toenails painted nearby. 

Then to Rita's. Nobody finished their ice cream. Which means I ate everyone's ice cream.
