My horrible no good very bad day!

We went to the library for toddler time and it was closed for remodel. So we wandered over to JC Penny instead. I told the kids before we went in that there would be no running around like in the past. I even made Kaylee say....."Okay Mommy, I will obey." Ya right! First thing they did was play tag around the clothes rack. Then Kaylee biffed it and sliced her head on the metal rack. When I turned her around to look at her there was blood gushing out all over her face. Of course it looked worse than it really was. Thankfully a worker was close by and quickly got her manager to help us. The ladies were so nice and gave me motherly advice that I needed because I didn't know if she would need stitches. They advised me to go to Dr. Madsens and get his advice before we went to the emergency room. Because he was busy, he scheduled us to come back after nap time. So we all got a really good nap and then headed back to the office for stitches. Kaylee did really well considering all the strange things that were happening. It was so cute to see Spencer get teary because his sister was crying. I learned a lot about myself from this experience. I learned just how layed back I am and that I don't totally freak out. Yes I was concerned and scared but think I handled it well.

And there are things like this that make me SMILE. Spencer hung this bunny on the kitchen cupboard for me to find. It just made my day!

Awesom hand-me-down clothes!

Check out this super studdly suit on Spencer. It is almost too small but I pretty much am making him wear it as long as he can because it is so handsome. I bought myself these blue shorts at a yard sale 2 weeks ago and then Kaylee got the same blue shorts from a neighbor. I just had to get a matching picture. Kids day at the park. I finally got Kaylee to agree to sleep in curlers again. She always says that they hurt to sleep in. But look at those gorgous beach curls.....Isn't it worth it?
Beau's girlfriend Jessica...or dedida as Kaylee says it. She was such a sweetheart and played with the kids at the park because obviously my hands were full with 3 kids which makes it hard to play.

New Headbands

Spencer has discovered that crayons are great for coloring on furniture and that markers are great for skin. At least it was washable. Our poor garden this year only grew minature veggies. Most of our corn was this size.
I made this cute headband after seeing some on other blogs. It's great because it's just my leftover fabrics.
Isn't she a great model.

Labor Day Fishing Trip

For Adam's 30th birthday I got him a fishing license that he never used. I guess he thought the kids and I wouldn't want to come (because I often remind him how miserable it is when I'm prego...the smells, the heat....and so forth). He LOVES fishing and since Beau had just found an awesome spot at Potter's Pond we decided to go. It was fun to have the kids actually see a fish.

Lanaya's 3rd Month

Our sweet little Lanaya! I can't believe she is almost 4 months and could be eating real food (although I will wait for awhile). She has officially learned to roll over and seems to do it most in the crib. I often find her on her tummy and frustrated because she can't roll onto her back. She is so sweet and become well tempered in the day......she is still a stinker at night and it really is starting to wear me out. Hopefully I can find a way to have her sleep longer.
