Wagon, shoes, puppies
We had a fairly mellow weekend. Jeff and I both had to work yesterday....he was on call...and I had to attend Family Weekend on campus. It was a great night...we watched the football team win....which is always a plus. We woke up this morning...and after church made a run to IKEA. Our sweet little Henri decided he wanted to get out of his crib "by myself, mommy." Now...his crib is about 3+ feet off the ground....so....not a great option. Needless to say....we are bed shopping for both kids. :)
After naps...Henri wanted to take Lili for a ride in the wagon. Here he is pulling her down the road. He's up to a six-block loop...
The excitement of tonight....it started to rain....here he is running to keep us dry....
The happy Herculese.
We made it home....after a trip to the potty....we needed a little refreshment before dinner. The kids are always moving....it's hard to get them both in the same photo frame...minus the blur...we take what we can get.
Sweet toots....
Lili has a thing for shoes. It's crazy....she doesn't have a ton of shoes...this is not something we encourage....but she is obsessed with shoes. Baby S...brought over a new load of hand-me-downs. Mommy was very excited to see all the sweet clothes we can start wearing. But Lili....she found these fabulous flip flops....that she proceeded to wear for the next two hours. Oh...and she sat in water outside....so she wore only her shoes, and her diaper. Lovely. :)
Note that her pugs are totally crammed into the flips...but that's not stopping her...
One would fall off...we'd hear..."shoes, shoes" and then we'd have to re-cram her Cinderella toes into her jeweled flips...
And then....once she was ready....
She would stomp her feet around the floor like a sumo wrestler.
With a sweet Lili smile.....
We broke down at IKEA...and bought both kids a new pet. Puppies! Stuffed, of course....but for $6, the best pet around. :)
Henri named his, Bingo. :) Lili...Mo-mo for our neighbor's dog, Monet.
Henri and his daddy....
Lili having to join in the fun....
Our two toots...
Where's Lili going....
Henri moved to the duck...
Up close and personal....
Now, Sissy's turn....
Sisterly/brotherly love....
We'll post more pictures soon. Have a great week!

Mommy duty....
This past week, Jeff had to work nights. Doesn't happen often...but when it does, it reminds us of how grateful we are to have 9-5 ish jobs. Since I was alone with our babes for dinner and bedtime....here are a few pics from last week.
Sweet Lili. Still in love with Mickey and Minnie Mouse...in fact...she holds her two figures together and pretends they are kissing. It's cute....but also a bit disturbing. Watch out for her teen years! :)
She's so sweet.....
Showing me her Minnie....
She is wearing her first pair of tennis shoes. For the new school year, we bought her shoes like Henri's....in pink. I think she wore them every day last week. :) In fact....she let me take off her shirt and skirt....but the shoes....even for bath time....it was a tough sell.
Ahh....the bath. Here is our little Henri....he's talking up a storm. It's so funny...because if I say, "Henri...let's go get in the bathtub." He'll look at me and say, "No, I go and get in the bathtub." Maybe he'll be an attorney?? Arguing his case in court??? Note Lili's face....funny.
The Lili Monster!
After bath....playing in the closet. They are really starting to play so well together. Henri loves to hide in the closet....and now Lili will join him, most of the time. The great news....well...maybe not great....but Henri is scared of the dark...so when I am ready for the game to end, I just turn out the light...and presto....they both emerge. :)
Lili breaking free......
All ready for bed....
On Friday....Henri and Lili wanted to go for a wagon ride. It has been such a hot summer, but the last few nights have been absolutely beautiful. Here is Henri taking Lili for a ride in the wagon. Crazy....but apparently he is only going to pull...and is no longer going to ride. The good news...whenever he hears a car...he stops and lets them go by. He's a conscientious wagon puller.
Sweet Lili on the swing....
They had so much fun! A few months ago...taking two kids to the park by myself would have been a nightmare. Luckily, they both are growing up, and they love to chase each other. So...we had a great time playing. Here is Lili going down the slide.
Jumping at the end. Must be those new shoes....
Chasing Henri......
On the spinner....
Here comes Henri!
He's going to get Lili....
So close.....
But she still made it off before he reached...
One last display of Henri's muscles....pushing Lili in the swing....
He was so proud. :)
Hope everyone has a great long weekend. Will post more soon!
