Dad was here for the weekend, and we took him to the Children's museum in Pheonix.Elizabeth thought he would love it, as he's "part kid" she says. Our kids love it there, they can get in abd play everything. I even let them paint in the art studio this time. That night we also went to Kobe steakhouse for dinner. It's a teppan grill where they cook at our table. The boys eyes were fixed on the chef, with all his food flipping, fire and flames. Pappa went home sunday night and hopefully didn't take our colds with him!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to School!! Off to school. A morning full of nerves, as anyone who knows Elizabeth would suspect. But still we all got ready and out the door pretty smoothly. She requestd grapes for snack, and mac n cheese for lunch. And a new picture of cousin Jamison in her backpack. It was nice too be cooled to 85 degrees at 8:00 this morning from the overcast sky.She did see her friends, and that's her new teacher in the vest. Can't wait for her to get home, and see how it all went!

 

 

 

 

 

Last Week of summer. Okay with summer ending,I think it's too soon. My surgery robbed me off so many fun plans. But Ethan was sick last week so we couldn't really go anywhere. So we had some fun at home. Paper plate aquariums, Ethan's first finger painting, playdough, and sock puppets. The kids had a blast!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The week before school started Tiffany and I tok the kids to ride the carousel at Superstition Springs Mall. A real eyecatcher at two levels, but a RIP OFF for three dollars!! Obviously we rode anyway.
