Escape

Tessa was looking out the window and I stepped out to get her picture. Instead she came to the door

But it wasn't latched and pushed open a bit!

 She was confused

Baby jail

She doesn't care that I'm excited about her standing and want to get a picture 

Cub Scouts

We have a new Tiger Scout, and MAN is he excited

And a new Wolf

They're too handsome, I'm going to collapse

San Antonio

We spent a week with Grandpa Jeff, Grandma Patti, Aunt Kelsey and Lisa in San Antonio. 

The house we stayed in had a baby jail. Playroom, whatever.

It was Charlie's birthday and we had cake

The boys learned about pool and Mario kart.

Tessa used a "high chair" she was extremely skeptical about

We did a tour of the Alamo and other historical sites

And went to Mass at San Fernando Cathedral

Tess had a hat

And Nora and Lucy had braids

We went to six flags 

We saw some loony toons

We did lots of rides and pool time. Jamie and Lucy went on a bucking bronco

Grandpa and Jamie rode the bumper cars

Nora and Tessa had fun in the wagon

And Tessa had a nap

Wow, I should have made two posts. Oh well.

We also went to a children's museum. Nora and Lucy climbed in a car

Nora and Tessa played in the baby area

Lucy pushed around a shopping cart buying groceries but no pictures, I guess. She got on a trolley too.

She built too

Charlie's favorite part was making a paper and sticks creation to see how well it floated. We did a lot of other unpictured fun activities. Jamie is a spy now!

We spent a lot of time at the pool, but were too busy swimming to take pictures! We did play with water shooters at the house too

Even though it was hot, we had a lot of fun in the sun! Lucy's face says it all ;)

Charlie is 8

He had only silly faces 

But at breakfast they gave him his own sundae in a mug and who wouldn't love that?

Happy birthday!

Teeth

Tessa got six teeth in the last 3 weeks.

There's a big gap between the front two :)

Pantry

I got several minutes of cooking in 

Clark Kent

Oh look, it's Clark Kent 

But wait!

Fun with Nora

I've had a toddler for the last 6 years, but I've forgotten what to do with them when there aren't big siblings. Nora and I are making it work.

First we had over friends

"I love baby Georgia do you love baby Georgia?" She said when I told her they were coming. Also, "Tessa OUR baby nobody take our baby" in case I was going let Jenn kidnap her.

I got out shaving gel for playing and she enjoyed that.Gel doesn't evaporate the way cream does, so there was more to play in, but also more to clean up. 

Uh oh, it's escalated

Immediately after this she had to go potty and it was a challenge. Next up, reading books and Costco! Exciting times being the temporary oldest.

Visit to grandparents'

Justin took the three big kids to his parents' but we decided it was too much car for Tessa so the little girls and I stayed home.

They took the truck

Grandpa found a box turtle

I miss them but they're having fun!

Teeth

Captain America lost both now from excessive wiggling

Glasses

Lucy lost her glasses, and then we finally found them. Thanks, St Anthony!

Nory

"Mommy, take a pitture a me!"
