Cute Kohls Finds

I've been so bad about blogging lately but hopefully that will get better soon! My mom and I had a 30% off coupon for Kohls so we took a little shopping trip there the other day. I'm sure I'm jumping the gun a little here but we found some cute Halloween and Thanksgiving shirts that we had to get.

The two Halloween shirts are glow in the dark. I really like this Happy Halloween shirt.


Here are the three fall shirts I bought. They were each only $6.00 each before the 30% off coupon! Bargain shoppers here!


The above pajamas were too cute. They are Fruit Loop pj's!

Ballerina pajamas. And the bottom has lacy ruffles!


The turkey shirt shown above is sparkly. And ohhh do we LOVE sparkles here!

Grandma bought Madeline a couple pairs of shoes. The Skechers shoes above have lots of SPARKLES too, and are so cute, yeah!!!

Dinosaurs Unearthed!

For a fun Sunday activity we decided to take a trip to see the dinosaur exhibit "Dinosaurs Unearthed" at Union Station.

Mads and I posing by the sign.

It was an amazing exhibit with animatronic life sized dinosaurs, dinosaur skeleton replicas, and dinosaur fossil and dinosaur egg replicas.

It was pretty awesome. They looked and sounded so real.


One of the fossil replicas.

Skeleton replica of a swimming dinosaur.

Madeline didn't act too scared but she did stay close to mom and dad.

Playing with some dinosaur toys.

Fun Friday Playdate

Our playgroup had a fun outdoor playdate today at our friend Kenner's house. We hadn't met up with our playgroup for over a month so it was great to see our old friends.

They had these awesome tiny ice cream drumsticks that the kids, including Madeline loved! Was a good idea having them at an outdoor playdate.

Mads got to play in the kiddy pools.

Some of Madelines longtime friends.

The ball bus was a big hit too.

Just some playing.

Our good friend Beckett cooling off in the pool.

Madeline and Alyssa learning how to catch the ball.

A Day at the Pool

For our Thursday fun with all the heat we've had lately we decided to head out to a local pool. We checked out the zero depth baby pool which Madeline had a great time in.

They had toys for the kids and Madeline's favorite was this floating turtle.

She would not let it out of her sight.

No one dared to take Madeline's turtle. She kept it close at all times.

Looking quite pleased with herself.

Farmer's Market Wednesday

Today my mom and I took Madeline to a local farmer's market. We checked out the flowers and purchased some sweet corn, tomatoes, peaches, and a cantaloupe.

Madeline really liked the flowers. (And look at how long that hair is getting!!!)

She had to stop and smell the gladiolas.

They also had a live band at the farmer's market and some fountains for the kiddos to play in.

So of course we let Madeline strip down to her diaper and play in the water. I'm sure some would disapprove but she was having fun! :)



Summer Plants and A Video

This summer I've done some patio gardening, well some tomato plants. I'm so excited about Madeline getting to water them every day and watch them grow. We're finally getting some small tomatos on them. Hopefully we'll get to try them out soon...

Some green tomatos starting to grow bigger. This is the biggest one. It's probably about 2 inches long. It's needs to grow a little more then turn red then this little sucker is mine!

Flower arrangement that my mom bought and brought up for ue. This is much bigger than it looks. It's probably 3 feet at it's longest width!


This last item is a video I recently took of Madeline. She is all into singing lately. She sings all the time!!! Mostly makes up songs or sings the Wonder Pets songs or Itsy Bitsy Spider or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. What a preformer!
