He Wore Daddy's Beret

 
I stole your beret Daddy!
 
If I tilt my head just right I can still see.
 
But if I run around, trouble begins.
 
I definitely cannot see now.

 
Maybe if I pull it down a little farther?
 
Nope! I still can't see!
 
AAAhhhh! That's better!

He wore Daddy's beret.
The kind you can buy at an Army Surplus Store.
Daddy's beret.
He wore it o'er his eyes and he could see no more.
Daddy's beret.
I think it's adorable.

Happy Feet!

 


So I went and got the most amazing pedicure today! Granted, I have ugly feet. As a matter of fact, I think most feet are generally ugly! :) But if you are looking for a great pedi in CenTex, go to the nail salon next to AT&T in Market Heights and ask for Nina! Their deluxe pedi is a regular pedi plus callous removal, sugar scrub, and warm mask. My lower legs and feet are so silky smoothe and soft! And the price is super reasonable! They must be good in there. There was a gentleman LTC getting his feet pampered, too! :)

My Fascination with Insect Revisted

 

Ian came running inside yesterday yelling "Mommy, Mommy! Bring the camera! There's a bug on my chair!" So I did! I believe this critter is a Common True Katydid. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong, but he is a thing of beauty, don't ya think?

Fanciful Flights

 
Today we hosted a playdate at the park. We brought paper airplane kits and the kids decorated them and the flew them. It was really fun! There were 12 kits and 12 kids! PERFECT and the moms had a great time visiting!

YUMMY Food and Shopping!

 


So we got to our hotel room, hung out for a little while and then set out to go to a restaurant that we have here in the relatively local area called BJs. Well, when we got to where BJs was, we noticed that they had a Carrabba's which we don't have around here and is one of our favorites. So we ditched the BJs idea and had Carrabba's instead. I snapped this photo of the boys outside after dining while Bill went to get the stroller. We were right next to a mall and decided to do a little retail therapy! There is quite a lot to be desired when you shop at the local mall, so this was great to just go into the normal mall stores that I am used to and look around. I picked up some things to send to our nephew in California from Gymboree and also picked up some make up for myself at Sephora. I also got my wedding rings cleaned. They were so dirty and nasty. It was amazing how nice they looked afterward!

Saturday's Unexpected Stop

 


Bill had reserved a hotel for us when he was still Afghanistan for this weekend in Irving, TX. He wanted to go see the Rays play the Rangers and we used our Hilton Honors points to get the room for "free." So we got a bit of a late start because Bill took Ian to Home Depot and we really had no reason to hurry since we had ZERO plans for Saturday evening. So we got into the car around 11am and I was feeling a bit hungry. Well, I tend to get nauseated when I am hungry and in the car riding unless we stop and I eat and get my limbs back under me. So me feeling woozy insisted we stop in Waco and Bill suggested one of our favorite Mexican places called Don Carlos'. We shared fajitas and the boys had chicken tenders and flautas. Well even though I ate, I still wasn't feeling 100%, so since we have a membership to the Mayborn Museum and Bill hasn't been there we decided to go ahead and stop there for a little while. The kids would get a chance to run off some energy and hopefully would sleep the rest of the way to the Dallas suburbs. I wasn't wrong! The kids had a great time and Bill and I did, too! It was the perfect way to break up the car trip and by the time we resumed our ride, I was feeling much better!
