distinct difference....

I walk over and see Daxton LICKING the computer screen....

me: "what are you doing?!? you don't lick the computer screen"
D: "It told me to use my mouth"
computer game repeats: "use you MOUSE to click on the biggest number"
me: "buddy it said your MOUSE not MOUTH."

geez......

Good to know...

Me "I'm selling some stuff to make room for your new toys.."
Z: "like what?"
Me: "Your legos"
Z "No"
Me: "Your Barbies"
Z "No"
Me: "Rocket (her Guinea Pig)"
Z: "No"
Gary Mattes "mommy?"
Z "..................."
Me:" HEY!"

bottle this up....

just a small moment from the day...

Zoey got off the bus and told Dax she had a special surprise for him.... When we walked in the door, she gave him a dinosaur that she picked out for him from her "treasure box" at school for her good behavior!

makes me smile and think... maybe they do like each other.....

Haystacular

Tampa visit

Daddy visits zoeys school....

Fall days...

Vampire Dax

Jack-o-lantern

In true Halloween tradition, we carved a pumpkin.... and it pretty much looked this... me cleaning out the pumpkin and the kids ran off....

Then once it was time to carve they were all about it...

Zoey wanted a 'scary' pumpkin this year... so that is what she got!

All my pumpkins...

Smart girl

I am one proud mama! She just received her first report card, and received all high marks! The biggest news was that her teacher said she reads on a high second grade reading level! I am so proud of you zoey! 

Character parade

Zoey's school had a storybook character parade at school today! She wanted to be Pinkalicious, thus marking her 3rd Halloween costume of the year! 

Good thing she is one cute Pinkalicious!

Cool dude

Celebration

After receiving great news about report cards.. and Daxton's 'green lights' at school.. it was time for a celebration! So Zoey chose ice cream! Perfect night to celebrate amazing things!

Halloween #1

Our first Halloween celebration was Trunk or Treat at St. Luke's. Zoey changed her costume the day of.. of course! She decided to be AppleJack from My Little Pony and Dax was Batman (begrudgingly)..

Even batman needs his daddy..... sweetest picture...

Getting the loot!

Haley and Taylor joined the fun!

Swinging

Somedays you just need to swing...

Another one...

Zoey lost ANOTHER tooth! She had been asking for days to pull her tooth... and after a failed attempt... she walked into the living room with a tooth in hand!

The toothfairy is going to go broke soon.... 

Biker girl

Zoey is trying desparately to ride her bike....

Let's just say it has its ups and downs..... 

Lunch on a day off

Zoey had a day off.... so Dax played hooky... and we had a nice lunch together...

These days make me miss the summer.... 

Dynamic duo

This was our first attempt at Halloween costumes...

Zoey has since altered hers.... to two different costumes! Dax is not so excited about the Mask portion of his... 

Visiting daddy...

Both kids love going to Daddy's football games, we always go up a little bit early to spend time... and the kids find something to do to entertain themselves... :)
