School Days

It's been a while since I've posted. Things have been busy since school has started back. Jacob LOVES school and is happiest when he is there! He loves his friends, his teachers, especially learning new things! He's definately my academic kiddo! Jordan loves her friends, her teachers and is definately at school to socialize! She can never tell you what she learned but she can tell you who she played with and what they did! Jacob, on the otherhand, will go into detail about what he's learned. They are so different when it comes to school, but I love listening to both of them!

Space Center Houston

While we were down in Houston visiting my parents, we took the kiddos to Space Center Houston. We checked out their current exhibit, Grossology, which was filled with all the disgusting things that animals and insects do. We also explored the inside of a spaceship, tried on space helmets, looked at all the space gear that astronauts wear, designed a spaceship, went on a tour of mission control, and played in the biggest play area ever!

Fun in the... flowerbed?

What better place to have a good time than the flowerbed!

Boy was that a dirty bathtub when they were done!

A Weekend in the Country...

I just recently uploaded the pics so I thought I'd write a post. A few weeks ago we went and spent a weekend at Grandma & Papa Franks' house in Comanche, TX. It's nice to get away to their house because they live out in the country... no neighbors... no noise... just peace and relaxtion! They do have quite a few cows, calves, and a really loud bull on their property. Jacob enjoyed watching them go to the bathroom (such a boy!), but Jordan was not a big fan... she preferred to watch them from the house. They were too loud for her!

The first night we were there, we got to actually see fireflies! James, Jacob, and Jordan chased them around the backyard trying to catch one. James finally managed to capture one and put it in a jar. Jacob thought it was funny that he had a light on his bottom! We brought the firefly inside for closer observation. I got some pictures of the capture... even tried to take one with the lights out... see if you can see him!

Mommy/Daughter Day

Jordan and I had a Mommy/Daughter day. We went to the mall and visited the "Build A Bear Workshop". I wasn't sure what to expect since I'd never been there before. Jordan had a bright pink bear picked out immediately, butI decided to show her some other options... just in case. We went from wanting the pink bear, to an orange cat, and then there it was... Hello Kitty. She immediatly wanted that one. From there we picked out a heart, which she kissed before putting inside her kitty. She got to help stuff the kitty as well... that was pretty cool. After Kitty was all sewn up, Jordan got to give her kitty an air bath (complete with bathtub and brushes). Of all the clothes offered, she picked out some Hello Kitty PJ's. We then got to do the birth certificate... Jordan is now the proud mother of "Kitty Kitty Bang Bang"!
