Pool and pops

It was a million degrees again today so after naps the kids enjoyed some splashing around in the pool with daddy and popsicles to cool off.
Sammie loves popsicles. What kids doesn't? They are the perfect summer snack.
Cole prefered to chew on the stick (those of you who know me well know that this doesn't sit well with me).
It was a great afternoon. Then dinner, baths and bed. Ah-to be a kid again, they have the life I tell ya.

Friday night fun

Tonight Zachary, our neighbor's son, came over for a few hours. He played so well and was such a good boy. He played with the kids, ate pasta and even took a bath. I only got one picture of him and learned that he HATES my camera. Something about a big black camera flashing bright lights bothered him?! Guess his mommy isn't invading his privacy as much as we do over here!

So here is the one pic I got of he and Sammie sitting together waiting patiently for me to cook dinner.

Cole has a new found love with pasta so tonight he got to have his first serving (well more like 3) of speghetti! He loved it. Guess what I will be making big batches of every Monday?!

Again, he is a mess! But still, really cute.

Here are pics of Cole's and Sammie's first speghetti dinners...you till notice we were a little wiser with Sammer and fed her naked!!!!!!! Ooops.

Happy go messy

I had to get on film how messy my son is when he eats. He is always this messy. It doesn't matter what he's eating. It is amazing.
Here he is enjoying some potato perogies for lunch. Mmmm...anything wrapped in noodles are a hit for Cole!
Check out the teeth too--he's been busy-6 new teeth in 2 months!

Just another night...

So it's Sunday night and we're livin it up.
Sammie is dressed up (in a dress passed on from our good friend Karis). She said she is a princess who lives in "The Land of Oragami" Ha! I dont' know where that came from?
She also got some tatoos from a vending machine at Toys R Us and actually wanted to put one on. Those of you who know her well know that she's not into tatoos but things have changed.
Just another night in the South house...how can you not love your life when you have all of this going on around you!:)
Thanks for always keeping a smile on my face Sammer.

Princess Sammie

Watch out ANTM!

If you're in a dress-you have to twirl!

The tattoo that changed everything:)

A pain in the grass...

This is grass. It is in my house. It is in my ROOM!!!

Yesterday I was walking through my bedroom and something caught my eye. I thought I saw a piece of grass on the carpet so I went to pick it up and it was in the wall!!!!! Coming through the baseboards. Not good. Peter checked it out when he got home. He dug up all the grass on the sideyard and was pulling LONG pieces of grass out of the wall. This may be the strangest thing that I have ever seen. Hopefully no bugs have heard about this secret way into my bedroom.

Here's Jeremy's suggestion...thanks J.
