catching up in the worst way

i have been the mother of all slackers in the blogging department. every time i have tried to do it the stupid site wasn't working, computer didn't have the pics on it, blah, blah, blah.



so here is the beginning of my catching up. i am SO behind that it would bore you all tremendously to put it in one post. i know that all of you lead such boring lives yourselves that you will be sitting on the edge of your seats waiting in anticipation for my coming posts. =) enjoy!

savannah's first day of 3rd grade

GRACIE WITH HER TEACHER, MRS. BAKER

SHE IS THE BEST!

what kindergartner is complete without a jonas brothers backpack?

okay this was totally impromtu. while i was taking her pictures she says "kindergarten, yahoo!

the middle schooler on her first day.

one of our family friends, titi, and her ADORABLE baby!!! he was quite yummy and seems to have an eye for the older women.

gracie insisted we have a doggie birthday party for her stuffed dog bella.

some fun pics from the summer by the pool.

playing at playmobile

i am SLOWLY getting the rest of our summer stuff up on the blog. fun for you. here in west palm beach there is a playmobile indoor park. air conditioned, you can bring your own food and only 94 cents/person to get in! can't beat that! sarah was bored but the two little ones had a great time!

matthew wouldn't smile pretty for the camera.
gracie in her element.

okay so the WHOLE time we were there she was begging to be put on this thing. there were signs that said you weren't supposed to but tons of people were doing it anyway. so my girlfriend who was with us said "just put her up there for a picture already." after that she was fine.

she stood by that thing for like an hour b/c she was afraid someone else would come and take her spot! goofball!

sarah in a rare photo that day. i am sure i threatened to embarrass her to get her to pose for this.

an afternoon at the norton

one of our fun outings this summer was an afternoon spent at the norton museum. more naked ladies (and boys) for the girls to look at. ha! just a few fun pics as, of course, we didn't take any inside the museum. the girls especially liked the disney exhibit. messing around with daddy. at least this time it was OUTSIDE. yes, my husband and children were messing around INSIDE the museum right next to priceless picassos. we are such an educated and well-mannered family. (is that why the docent thought the little boy who was TOUCHING the paintings belonged to me and asked me to keep him closer to us so he wouldn't do it anymore? you be the judge.)
