Fun times

Rylie's best bud Kaylen got to come home from preschool with her yesterday. They had sooo much fun and were so excited about it. They even wore their matching outfits that Dawn and I bought them, complete with matching pigtails!

Sweet girls!

Rylie and I had craft day this week and made critters out of egg cartons. (Salmonella free!) Pictured from left to right: a turtle, a "callerpitter", Rylie, a patch of carrots with a bunny peeking out, and a ladybug. The shoebox is Rylie's own creation...she painted it and glued shells inside and added lots of glitter and told me it was for a wedding!

This is a table I scored at a garage sale for $2.00 and I revamped it. It was solid black, so I painted and decoupaged it for a kids table. (See my other blog for more pics:)

Can you spot the real baby? Yes, that is Cohen on the far right. Rylie thought he could use some company in his crib, so she added a few babies of her own:)

Mamie and Cohen! Mamie, Papaw and Grandma Fox came to visit and have lunch after church last Sunday...Cohen had fun playing with Mamie!

All dressed up in his hat and tie!

Rylie is my helper! She is such a sweetie and loves to help clean, do laundry, wash dishes, sweep, cook....ahhh, if only it would last! She was washing windows in her jammies here!

Tummy time! He hates it! I only got a few pics before the fussing began! He is such a good natured little thing...I feel bad making him do it!

Sweetest boy ever! His eyes are starting to look a bit hazel, like mine! We went to his 3 month checkup a week ago and he weighed 15lb 7 oz and was in the 97% for height and 86% for weight! This week we had to go back because he has a cough and he weighed 16 lbs! Chunky Monkey! I love to squeeze him! He has to take an antibiotic now, so keep him in your prayers, please. It is hard to administer oral antibiotics to a 3 month old....he keeps spitting it out!

New Blog

HI! Everyone! I have a second blog now, one dedicated to crafts, deals and recipes pretty much! Check it out : www.carrotstewcarrotstew.blogspot.com

Rylie's first day of preschool and other goings-on....

August...the hottest month of the year and yet I can't deny my toddle the pleasure of washing our car...(I practically begged her to just let us take it through the car wash, but she would hear nothing of the sort!). So, we got out there and washed my jeep and when daddy got home from work, Rylie decided his truck was dirty too. I thought it was too cute, the way she stretched so far to get as high as she could! The bottom 3 1/2 feet of his truck look great:)

We went grocery shopping today.....$130 of groceries for $67! Woo-hoo! We also had a fun playdate with 3 of Rylie's friends. Yesterday was a milestone in the Fox household...Rylie started preschool! She is going 2 days a week and she is sooo excited! So without further ado, here are some pics of her first day!

We got up and had a special breakfast of blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon. (Ariel dined with Rylie, as pictured).

After donning her new first day of school outfit and accessories, she posed for a few pics. We had her backpack and a matching lunchbox with her name, but then she decided she had rather carry her princess lunchbox instead.

A classic shot....my mom has one just like this of me on my first and last day of school. She has the same of my sister, and my sister has taken this picture of her girls on their first day. It is tradition...

This is the craft she made her first day...they had a beach theme and they made a mini-beach scene! She was so proud. I found it in the refrigerator today...not sure why it was there?!

I have several projects that are ongoing. This is the first to reach completion. Pantry makeover!

Hopefully, more projects to follow!
