weekend recap - the boys r back in town!

saturday morning started off the same as usual...saturday morning cartoons!

jaden LIVES for "4 kids tv" on fox every saturday morning....and this saturday, he got to go online & register with their website to become a member!

he's asked to do this before (when seeing the commercials promoting it), but with our old dinosaur PC, the simplest tasks would take forever!

well, i just recently bought my sisters 2nd laptop from her....she had one & then her job gave her one....so she sold one of them to me real cheap....can't beat that!

so this saturday, he got to sign up & start earning points! :0)

that afternoon, we headed to the park to burn some energy....the forecast called for rain here & there all weekend - but we didn't see a drop! it was chilly & a little windy - but we still had tons of fun outside

mama pushing the merry-go-round


we love the river down by the local park....it's perfect for skipping rocks!

saturday evening, gabby finally decided to get her top right tooth out (3rd one lost)! it has been wiggling for quite some time now....but once she started messing with it on saturday, she said she heard it click & it was actually sitting crooked in her mouth


so after messing with it all day & almost getting it out on her own, she finally let me pop it out for her right before bed!

(this pic was taken on sunday morning)

for some crazy reason - the tooth fairy didn't come saturday night!

luckily....er, i mean unfortunately, the little baggie with the tooth in it, slipped out from under gabby's pillow & fell off her top bunk, on to the floor....so i explained to gabby that maybe the tooth fairy couldn't find it & she would come back the next night to look again

she did! ;0)

sunday, daddy went to go pick up the boys so they could spend the day with us....they met up with us at the church - the 3 youngins were sooooo excited to see their big brothers!

love this sight - all 5 of my kiddos heading into church - TOGETHER!

gabby was especially thrilled - she was glued to curtis, corey or both at the same time, ALL day!

after church & lunch, we headed to the local skate park

corinn was so proud she could go down the ramps!

gabby asked curtis to trade her for a second so she could try out his skateboard

then made him chase her to get it back :0)

check out some of curt jr's awesome moves!

there's also a playground at this park

found a caterpillar

sunday evening was our Thanksgiving meal at church....i had totally forgotten about it, but was psyched it ended up being on a day we had the boys (boy, let me tell you - they can eat!!!) ;0)

one thing i'm LOVING about having a laptop now - i can have it right in the kitchen with me!
it's the little things! ;0)


i found a recipe online for pumpkin chocolate chip muffins - sounded awesome!

so i started mixing everything up....then realized - no chocolate chips (very weird, u can tell i haven't been making many cakes lately)

i finished making them without the chips....and whipped up a cream cheese icing for on top instead

they were aight, but nothing to write home about ;0)

look at these ladies waiting in the food line with big bro - could they be any more smitten?!

(sorry for the stinky cell phone pics - forgot my camera at home)

now this is what i call a perfect ending to our weekend!!!
