Video Skills

Okay, I'm not the greatest videographer that ever lived, but these aren't that bad as they were taken on my phone. Sometimes that's the most handy device...enjoy! (I think I need an iPhone, Santa!!)

Happy 4th of July

We had a good, yet uneventful, 4th this year. Which is good because Mark decided to get the new "high range" tree trimmer a whirl at 3:30 in the afternoon. Yeah - it was wicked hot and the kids were both up from nap. Not a great time to be knocked unconscious by a falling branch. Anyhoo...he survived and we spent our evening at a neighbor's eating and watching some nice Walmart-supplied fireworks. Luke missed those, but Kate had a blast. She will be ready for the big ones next year at Tanglewood! (So will Mommy...I miss seeing fireworks!!)

ps...Luke decided he wanted "pretty nails" too! He's getting in touch w/ his feminine side. : 0

Pretty nails

Kate went to her first-ever "Spa Party" last Friday (June 25, 2010). I was really dreading it, but I have to admit, the place was really cute. She was like a little grown up - getting her nails and toes done! She had a blast and asked to have her birthday party here. (Ah, sorry - no!) Hey...I didn't get my first mani-pedi until I was 30!!! And that was for my wedding...I told her she would have a great time at the local gymnastics place or bounce house. She is mulling that over....

Potty Time!

I'll probably live to regret this but Luke's doing so well w/ his potty training! He loves getting 'm-n-m-neps' - his little reward for going. Next week, we venture away from the homestead. Let's hope all goes well...

XO,
