A Fine Feathered Friend

Tula and Pops have a new pet...meet Mr. Duck!

He likes to eat cat food and leave lots of messes (if you know what I mean), but we are all a bit smitten, especially Miss Frances. Although Kathryn captured the last two pictures and was all giggles as she did!

Are you ready...

For some FOOTBALL???

We are! Here's a little proof.

Fruit Loop Fun

Color sorting (and a little snacking:) with Frances!

At home with...

Kat Lloyd!

Thought you would enjoy seeing how her big girl room has come together. Since the twins shared a room until we moved to Mob-town, this was my first opportunity to decorate an all girl room!

And just in case you don't notice, she has a thing for dolphins:) Come on in...

Quick and Easy Midweek Meal

This was on the menu tonight:

Caesar Pasta Salad

Romaine lettuce, chopped
Penne pasta, cooked and cooled
Parmesan cheese
Caesar salad dressing
Caesar salad croutons
Cracked black pepper

Mix pasta and lettuce together. Top with croutons and cheese. Pour on desired amount of dressing. Sprinkle with pepper. Toss all ingredients together and enjoy!

This is a quick, easy and relatively inexpensive meal. Some variations include adding grilled chicken or simply adding pasta to any other favorite salad recipes to turn it into a heartier meal!

What about me?

Somebody else started school this week. She wasn't crazy about getting clothes on and missing Doc McStuffins, but all in all I think she had a great first day!

K5

Oh my! I know I always say time flies, but when I think about sending my "babies" off to kindergarten, I can't stop thinking where did the years go! The only thing that keeps this momma's heart from being too sad is how excited these two were to start school!

In typical Walker fashion, he got up super early. First picture of the day...

Kat Lloyd woke up about 20 minutes later and dined on her breakfast of scrambled eggs and juice!

Uniforms on for some more pictures...

I'm thinking we should have ditched the backpacks, but they insisted!

Walker in his class room...

Daddy and Frances posing with the big kindergartener. Frances was not happy about waking up early and having to be dressed.  She has clothes on, but those are her pajamas over them:)

Kathryn outside of her classroom...

and seated at her desk...

So what did me and Miss Frances do while they were away??? We tackled Wally World for some groceries, ate lunch, watched cartoons, and once she went down for her nap, I did a little party planning...

 

 Everyone needs a little first day of school celebration.  Don't you think?

So far, we are off to a great start!!!
