Pics From My Phone

I take photos when I don’t have my camera then completely forget they are there.  Here’s the lastest batch:

Obviously this was taken when it was still hot outside!

 

“Mom! Mom! Quick! Get the camera! Cupcake is being cute!!!” This is our chubby cat “hiding” under some paper towels.  

 

Evren fell asleep in the car in the middle of the afternoon - poor kid couldn’t keep his eyes open one moment longer.  Photo op!

 

Ayla playing volleyball.

 

On the court.

 

Evren vacuuming.  I called him over for something and then he said very sarcastically, “Mom.  Do you mind?  Can I get back to the vacuuming already?!”

The Little Guy is FIVE

Non-stop birthday day fun, for Evren who turned five.

First stop:  Krispy Kreme.  We were on our way to the toy store, and needed some sugar.  And they were warm!

I let Evren pick “a small toy” (mistake) and it seemed like we would NEVER get out of there.  

He couldn’t make up his mind to save his life.  

He finally did decide, and by then we were all starving.  He got to choose where we went to lunch and he picked Burger King because “You never take us there Mommy.”

Burger, fries and lemonade slushie.

THEN, PARTY!

All his very best friends showed up and it was fabulous.

Talk about an ugly cake, I know, but it was surprisingly good!

LOVED all his presents!!

    

THEN, (oh yes, there’s more)…

BUILD-A-BEAR

He named this little guy “FurJoe”.

Then, dinner, his choice, a hot dog from Sonic.

He was a great sport about the first 150 or so photos I took that day, but I think this was a hint that he just wanted to finish his dinner in peace.

Anyway… it was a great day and we are still cleaning up the aftermath.  I have tons more pics and if you are interested I can send you the snapfish link - just email me.

Next stop…. Kindgergarten.

Compliment?

While shopping for a birthday present for one of Ayla’s friends, we find a very cool, kind of off-beat gift, that she thinks will be perfect and then she says to me….”yea, I think she’ll like it.  She’s wacky.  Well, I mean, not as wacky as you mom, but still… yea, I think she’ll like it.”

At the Movies

Took the kids to the movies this morning…

…honestly, I expected more.  I was really looking forward to this movie.  It was just okay.
