Our Life With the Littles

Cow Appreciation Day!

"Will dress like a cow for free food!"

And that is exactly what we did for lunch today! All 5 of us. :) It was a blast and totally worth it. We are Chick-fil-a fans at our house. I think Evalyn thinks that is the only restaurant the exists. When ever we say we are going to go out to eat she automatically assumes Chick-fil-a, or as Caleb puts it "Chicken and fries, mama!"

And they are probably right, but as any parent knows what a huge task it is to go out to eat with 3 littles {or any number!} is no easy task! Chick-fil-a makes it easy and enjoyable. We love their food and the service. :)

Two of my cows {the third slept through the whole thing, but he was dressed the part too!}:

And with the Chick-fil-a cow... Caleb just stared at him and said "Hi cow!" about 2,396 times!

Since the kids don't have black shoes I just put some black fabric over their shoes to look like hooves! Everything we wore we already had so it was 100% free, even dessert!!

I love that they are saying 'Mooo' :)

My sweet and sassy cow!

Can't wait until the next appreciation day!!

Swimming

Last weekend we drove to visit my mom and we were quickly reminded of the humid, muggy heat that is the midwest! We were at Nana's house for 2 full days and we spent time at the pool both days! They recently remodeled their pool and it was a huge hit with Little Lady. She could have stayed there all day long.

Doesn't this picture just look refreshing! So hot lately :)

Love this girl! Only 18 days til 3 years old...

It was Itty Bitty's first time IN the pool. :)

Little L went down this slide at least 100 times! She loved it!

Brandon and I got to go on two dates, we played at a new discovery center in town and ate a few of our local favorite restaurants!! We had a wonderful visit 'home' to Nana's house.

Ephesians 6:1

The theme for this week has been obedience. We have practicing willing obedience A LOT this week. :) And to go along with it the littles have been learning their first memory verse! Yep, you guessed it: Ephesians 6:1!

It amazes me how quickly these young little minds soak up information! We started on Monday and by Wednesday before bed Little lady could say it all by herself!! It's encouraging and I'm thankful the these littles will have a firm foundation on the solid Rock of our salvation, Jesus Christ.

*Please don't be alarmed at the crying Itty Bitty in the back ground; he was happily fed immediately following the filming of this video :)

And Little Lady's turn! She said it with just the cue to get started, the rest by heart. :)

Daddy-Daughter Date Night

Brandon and Little L had their first {of hopefully many!} date nights last Saturday night! Chick-fil-a actually prompted the idea as they were hosting a special daddy-daughter date night event. It was perfect as this little lady love her some "chicken an' fries!" But really she just goes to play on the play equipment.

Daddy went all out and went to the store to buy some flowers for his little sweetheart! He took Little D with him and they brought some sweet smelling, pink peonies home for mama!!
