Funny, Crazy Kids!

With Josie's birthday coming up, Layne and I have been doing some shopping. Layne Absolutely loves shopping - even if it's not for her. As long as she gets to "look" at stuff for her and occasionally try on a few things, she's happy! She loves shoes, especially "Mommy" shoes! Here we are at DSW last Thursday. Layne just loved these shoes and had to try them on. On Friday we went shopping at the mall (looking for some gear to buy - an oldie, but goodie - right Amanda?) Anyway, as we were leaving we passed one of those stores that carries prom/bridesmaid/flower girl dresses - we just HAD to go in. I thought since we were there, I might as well let her try some on - she was in Heaven (When Layne gets to Heaven, I know Jesus will have prepared a special place just for her, filled with beautiful dresses, shoes, jewelry, hairbows, makeup, and perfume!)

All weekend we hung out around the house working and playing. This is a picture of Sam riding his scooter out front - I just wonder what all of our neighbors think of him - he's so funny! 20 minutes later, Sam (aka Peter Pan)and Adrian started building part of the chicken coop. The chicks loved being out side and they really loved the kids throwing them bread crumbs! Here are pictures of the dogs meeting the chickens for the first time - I think we have a couple "bird dogs"! Saturday night the kids made homemade donuts - Adrian and I helped a little. They were YUMMY! Apparently the sun is a lot stronger here in Texas, I found that out Saturday night. Here is are some pictures I took on Sunday of Sam's back. (He got burnt on Saturday, when he had stripped down from being Captain Hook - Peter Pan - and a few other people) Poor guy, I felt so bad for him. He did wake up this morning still a little pink, but he said it was feeling MUCH BETTER!!! We all learned a good lesson! OUCH! Sam covered in vinegar soaked gauze. (Layne kept walking by sniffing him, telling him he smelled like an Easter egg!)
