Weekend Fun

We went to Cypress Gardens and spent the day at the water park. The kids really enjoyed themselves.

Our little helpers!

Chris making sure daddy fixes the faucet soit won't drip anymore. lol
He just looks so serious.
After a long day at school Nici came home and helped me make dinner. Grandparents don't worry as you can see she is holding the tater with a dish rag and using the peeler. She really did a great job!
Nici peeleed 2 whole taters for dinner that night. Chris tried but was to scared, he said he would try again when he is 5 yo.

A day in the pool

Nici loves to jump in, usually strips and jumps forgetting to put her suit on. Guess we were lucky today.

My bathing beauty.
Look closely, Chris isn't wearing any swimmies, or jacket!

First day of school

The breakfast of champions, waffles, a bagel with cinnamon butter and a Mountain Dew.


This is Nici's 2nd day of school, but Chris's 1st. He was sick yesterday so he missed his 1st day.
Last minute goodbye. Nici is in her class now it is time to take Chris to meet his new friends and teacher.

Lunch at Friendley's

Last day in Md we had lunch at friendley's. Besides me and my kids, Debbie and all her jelly beans, which include Samantha, Raeann, Andrew. My mom and Breezy. And my dad and grandma from FL.
Does she get into her ice cream or what?
Newest addition to the family. This is Debbie's new foster daughter. She is 14 and is so cute and a great joy to be around. I almost cried when she said my name. Debbie I dont know how you do it, you should be up for saint hood. (those of you who dont know Debbie is a foster parent, And I brag every chance I get, because there are not many people like her who can bring children into their homes and care and love them like her own). You are one special person Debbie.;
Here we have alittle bit of everyone. Aunt Debbie with her newest addition to the family Samatha, on the right. In the highchair is Raeann a little cutie that Debbie watches, the back of Nici, Me holding Debbies(hehehehe) foster grandson. My mom and that poor waitress. We had her so confused with who was related to who.
My parents don't know how much I appreciate the fact that they can get along long enough to make me happy. I Love you both for being around each other when we all know that is the last thing you want to do!
