Flag Day

Ahhh Flag Day... I don't know what it's for or why there's a holiday for it. All I know is that I love Flag Day because it's a day off from work for me! So yesterday since I had off we headed up to Re.d Lob.ster to celebrate John's employment. The food was sooo good- but unfortunately I had a tummy ache after :-\ Then we went to T.J. Maxx to try to find John another tie and I wanted to look for a new suit coat (I had an interview today). After that it was off to Toys R Us where I wanted to find Delilah some sort of bubble toy since she loves bubbles so much. We got her a bubble mower. Our last stop was A.C. Moore where I got yarn for a few birthday present projects I've got going. While we didn't stop at that many places we were really ready to head home after our stop at A.C. Moore. It was Delilah's nap time and that girl was grumpy!

After Delilah's (and our) nap went fed her supper and then headed outside to play with the bubble mower. She enjoyed pushing it around but no bubbles really came out. You pretty much would have to run (if you were a little one) with it to get them to come out! And they just blew right on the ground- not in the air. Piece of crap! She did get a little frustrated with it because our ground is uneven and it would get stuck. Instead of asking for help she decided to bite the mower handle. After she did this about 1 or 2 more times after the first time she got a time out. After her timeout she went back to playing with the mower. But she got frustrated again and again bit the mower handle. This time she started crying and John went over and picked her up. When he did he noticed blood. I'm not sure what she did but somehow she bled from somewhere. I checked but couldn't find anything. Poor babe.

Tonight she got mad at bath time because John wanted her to put her head back so he could rinse her hair. But she wouldn't so he kind of tried to make her. She leaned forward and bit the bubbles! Then started crying because she got bubbles in her mouth. O boo!! LoL

Dad blowin' bubbles for me

Awww poor girl... I couldn't help but laugh at the "biting bubbles bit." Those lawnmowers are a little goofy to say the least. You'd think they should just shoot out bubbles when the kid pushes it, ya know?

Ah, poor little dear...
Hopefully this "biting" phase is short-lived.

Great action shots of Daddy's helper!

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
