Once again, if Luke needs sleep...he will get it!

Okay, so this is what I saw when I walked in the room to wake up Natalia this morning. Poor little thing. He broke my heart. I laid him back down on his bed and covered him up. When I went back in the room to get Natalia's shoes, I saw Luke like this again. I guess that's how he likes to sleep. Some people sleep on their side, some on their belly and Luke, well, he sleeps standing up. ~What do you do...

Crunch, chewy, creamy

One day, quite some time ago, Dave mentioned to me how he wanted to try these Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies. He loves peanut butter. I mean, he really really does. So, I said "okay" and left it at that. He looked at me and said, "you are going to forget." - Isn't that sad? Oh, how well he knows me. Well then, I had to prove him wrong. I guess, I also wanted to make these peanut butter cookies for him after all he is doing for us! So, after Awanas last week, after putting the kids in bed, at about 9:00 p.m. I began making the cookies. I wanted to have them ready for him for when he got to San Antonio. They were so yummy! He was surprise, but after he took the first bite, he started to talk about how we could tweak them the next time we make them. Aw!!!

Mini Me, Twins...no need for more explanation

Fun at New Braunfels' Children's Museum

Today, we spent part of the day at the Children's Museum.  The kids were able to stayed very entertained for several hours.  No fits, no tantrums, just good ol' fun! Which, to me, was worth every penny we spent there. They played at the grocery store, the space shuttle, the ambulance and many other centers.  Lastly, we went outside where there was a huge area with all kinds of water toys. We ended up having to buy the kids a shirt because they got soaking wet. They also had a chance to paint a cute little old VW Beatle that was there.

Later, we ended up eating at Freddie's.  Carson loved their french fries, Natalia really enjoyed their ice-cream, and Luke just enjoyed it all.  

We were only about 8 miles away from San Marcos, so we ended up going to the Outlet Mall.   Oh wow, I loved going in Pottery Barn.  They had it all!  I must go again soon (with money, lots of it).

To finish off the day, Dave and I had a chance to go out to dinner, while the kids stayed at home with my parents. 

So, I thought I was the only one having a good day, until I got home

  
All relaxed after my massage and facial, I walked in the house and found everybody outside. Daddy bought each one of them their own shovel, so they definitely had to use them somehow. So, they went to get all kinds of gardening stuff.  When I got there, they were all planting vegetables and flowers in several pots.  They were having a blast.  

  

After all that work, it was time to cool off, even though it was about 71 degrees outside.  So, Daddy got them soaking wet.  I don't know how the kids were able to handle that water.  It was so cold.  ~What a great day they had!

      

What a day...

Today, things were a little bit different at work.  Once a year, a vendor invites all the property managers from San Antonio, Houston and Austin to her house.  She provides us with yummy food, drinks, desserts, massages, pedicures and facials.  Talking about relaxing...She has a beautiful house in the middle of no where.  All you can see from her living room are horses, cows, longhorns and lots of trees.  Oh, this day, I wish it would've gone a lot slower.  I really enjoyed my day out in the country (I can't believe I forgot to take pictures).  

After that pampering, we stopped by supposedly the best BBQ place in this area.  It really didn't look very promising from the outside, but you can never judge a book by it's cover.  So, we decided to stop and give it a try.  I'm so glad we did - it was very good.  Dave even claims it being better than Rudy's. 

Oh what a wonderful day I had!

Enough is Enough!

After such a busy day with all the responsibilities a 2 year old has, there comes a point when enough is enough!  Well, right after dinner, Luke decided that it was time to call it the day.  So, the fastest way to do that was to turn around in his booster seat and, simply, fall asleep.  Hey, why not?
