Two sleeping children and 1 kitty



I think I have about 986 pictures of the kids sleeping

Abigail put kitty to bed

Little Picassos

I love to pick the kids up from school, but the next best thing is I get to see what they made.

This is from their first day at Mother's Day Out. The read a story about a baby raccoon who has to be away from his mommy raccoon for the day. It's called the Kissing Hand.

Here the kids got to free paint and Mrs. Jennifer drew their names in the paint. It's one of my favorites.

Here they glued ten apples on their pictures...they read a story by Dr. Seuss that day.

This one is another favorite and really brightens the hallway. Mrs. Jennifer gave them different sized cans and they dipped the cans in paint and made circles. Every week they concentrate on a color and a shape.

We arrived in Tulsa around 2:30 on Thursday. The kids immediately wanted to ride the four-wheelers.

We got up early the next morning to attend OSU Homecoming. So much fun seeing all the orange and going to Joe's. (We lost that night, but have beaten all the other teams) We play OU in Stillwater this coming weekend! GO POKES!

It was really spooky inside Joe's

One of my best friends Samantha and her husband of many years, Jeff. They lived in Stillwater when I did. I met Samantha in a history class. She's super smart.

And of course you can't go to Tulsa and not go to QT. We got Freezonis while we were there. Three times. Blue and green!

My friend Ryan came over with his baby Thomas. Ryan and I went to OSU together.



Thomas wanted those 4wheelers

Sabrina and I had lunch at Golden Gate. Hot 'n sour soup is the best.

The pumpkin patch is always fun for the kids. This is their second time at this one, so they knew it pretty well.
