The Calm Before the Storm

Wow it has been an interesting and crazy last few days. 
Friday afternoon was spent doing the lawn.

Eli then played in the rocks and filled his truck with them. We also spent some time outside just enjoying ourselves. Lilliana loves the dogs so she just enjoyed sitting with them.....

Friday evening we spent the night enjoying our favorite food places. We went to our favorite pizza place for dinner.

It is a family owned Italian place but they make wonderful pizza. I had a salad with my dinner so Lilliana got to enjoy a pretzal and pickle from it. This girl has taste! She loved both a lot and thoroughly enjoyed her first outting eating big food! She also got to try some pizza and loved that.

Eli enjoyed coloring as usual and eating his pizza.

We then made a trip to King Kone to eat ice cream. I had just given the kids a bath so I made Eli put a trash bag over himself so he would not get dirty. He was not thrilled about that but it worked well! I thought of the idea after watching Hurricane Irene coverage and them saying trash bags should be in every survival kit because they have endless possibilieties.

He loved his ice cream. Anthony asked him, "was it good?" Eli told him, "I ate it all!" That said it all.

We spent some snuggle time together that night.

Saturday we ran errands. Lilliana sported her first pair of Jelly Shoes. Its not summer without Jellies. She also enjoyed lounging in the cart.

That night we went to Uncle Todd's house so I could do some of Lilliana's six month photos. They are not complete but should be this week. Aunt Toni takes Eli to Uncle Todd's house frequently. He has baby pigs and cows. Eli spent time feeding them.

He picked apples........

......but the highlight of the night was riding around on the three wheeler and motorcyle with Dad and Uncle Todd. He loved that. They raced and just had all around boy fun....

Lilliana even went for a little ride.

Sunday the real fun started..............I say that in complete sarcasm. I decided to groom Jack on Sunday. He really needed it and the dogs both needed baths. I found FLEAS on him. It was not many but enough to just make me thoroughly annoyed. It probably would have only taken one. I love our dogs but oh they cause a lot of work and just plain frustration sometimes!! Kenya had already gotten out the night before. Thats ok though because she has a nice new shock collar for getting out now. Needless to say the house was bombed and everything that could be washed has been or is still being washed. I swear I have done 20 loads of laundry.  The house is very clean now. I know Jack got them the day we mowed the lawn and we have yet to see one in the house so that is good. It messed up a lot of our plans for the weekend but that is ok. We spent Sunday and yesterday cleaning. I still am doing laundry and we are vacuuming twice a day just to make sure we are getting anything that could possibly be there. I am not taking any chances!! I did do a photoshoot last night. I just finished editing and will post those later as she has not seen them. Lilliana's pictures are going to be finished this week. I also have a Senior to do and possibly a 2 year old. Its a busy week for pictures but I am loving it!! We may have had a rough weekend but I have a house and a beautiful family and who could be mad when you see this face..............
