Goodbye September

We've all been slightly under the weather, except Z, so this weekend was all about relaxing. I managed to get everyone to nap at the same time Sat. and Sun. This allowed me some much needed rest. Henry has recently decided to start his days at 5:00 a.m.

We did drive to Lockhart Saturday night for some super BBQ. We also got to see Rosemond and Eric for a bit on Sunday. Wish they would have had that sweet Grace with them!
I'm looking forward to cooler days and a break in my crazy work schedule. Life is a blur right now.

Henry is crawling like a pro and pulling up to a standing position. His favorite place happens to be the toilet. (Gross) Zoe is taking dance and gymnastics at her school this year and she really likes both. If we ask her what she did at school today she'll always answer, "Good."
So we don't get much feedback about what's going on but apperently it's o.k.

The most recent thing she does that is so cool is tell us when something makes her happy. For example, if I were to turn on her Dora music in the car she would smile and say, "That makes me happy."
Other things that make her happy are popsicles and having her daddy give she and Henry a bath.

I love watching Rhett get ready for one of his camping trips. There is lots of investigation in the month or months preceding the trip. Boxes arrive in the mail containing the latest and greatest sleeping pad, day pack, etc. Apparently shaving off 2 lbs from your overall pack weight is very important.
The best part is the meticulous tarp set up. Once again, in efforts to keep his pack load down Rhett opts to pitch a tarp under the stars instead of a tent. He has gotten quite crafty at creating the perfect shelter with a 8x6 piece of material, hiking poles, stakes, and twine. There are many Sunday afternoons and weekday evenings spent setting up and speculating the possible arrangements of stakes and other tarp variations. I like to catch him laying in the backyard, underneath his tarp, thinking...thinking....thinking.

If you need a little laugh today...

Last week Zoe and Henry were bathing together. Zoe leaned over to Henry and in a very sweet voice said, "Henry, I like your little boobies."

Then she stated that she did not have boobies. I said, "Are you sure?"

She patted her chest and with lots of expression stated, "I do have boobies!"
