Here we go....I've decided that my kids are just crazy...because about 10 times a day I think "I should write this down, this will be perfect for my Top 5 Laughs"....picking just 5 is definitely tough! As always, I'm linking up with The Mommyhood Chronicles.
5. Troy has started playing Song Pop on his phone...every time the kids hear it, they want to start a dance party...they get so mad when he answers the question and the song goes off so we normally have to put the TV on the music channel so the kids can dance. B always says "I dance I dance" whenever she hears music!
4. Owen just started school this week....his bus picks him up at 8am on the dot...he starts asking at 6:45 am (and sometimes earlier) if he can go ahead and go to his bus stop. (I'm so glad that he loves school)
3. Brynnleigh likes to sing, and loves to have a microphone....well her microphone...is a "snot sucker" luckily we never used it!
2. O was walking home from the school bus with his little girlfriend across the street...when she went to say bye she said "I love you Owen"...O looked directly at her and said "I know"
1. We got an American Girl Doll - Itty Babies catalog in the mail (why I'm not sure) and I handed it to Brynnleigh....she opened it up and said "Oh my GOODNESS.....BABIES!!!" Yep, I'm in trouble!

Wordless Wednesday - Bedtime Stories
This is how we found Brynnleigh asleep Monday night.....
It must have been a good Bedtime story!
It must have been a good Bedtime story!
Dear Owen...
Dear Owen,
In just a few short hours you will be jumping out of bed for your first day of school. We have packed your bag, and set up your lunch....and believe it or not, I've checked them all about 6 times! I so wish I could just be a fly on the wall and watch your first day.
I have a ton of emotions shooting through me right now. I am excited for your new adventure, yet I can't believe that this time has come. I swear just yesterday you were learning how to walk and talk! I know you will love school and all the friends you will make. You have been talking about this day for at least a year now. You cannot wait to go to "5 year old" school and ride the real school bus!
I have enjoyed all of our adventures so far and I cannot wait for our new adventures to start!
Owen, you are the most kind hearted person I know. I don't know many 5 year old boys who will stop mid bite of their last bite of pretzel and give their sister 1/2 when she starts asking for a pretzel. You also have more spunk and determination than anyone I know. If there is something that you want, you will find a way to get it....you'll come up with a "plan" no matter what! You also have patience, even when you don't want to admit that you do! You will sit and mix and match train pieces for hours to make sure the track is just right. You also have such a strong desire to learn, which will take you far.
I cannot wait (well actually I can wait) to see what this year will bring us. You will learn so much, educationally, socially, and just basic street smarts. You very well could meet your life long friends as well!
I hope your first day of Kindergarten is everything you have wished it to be!
I'll end with my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes...
""You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go."
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!"
Love,
Mommy

Brynnleigh and the slide!
Last night O spent the night with my parents and went to the county fair. B was so upset to have to leave without her "Bubba" so we decided to let her have a little fun after dinner. (We called it her own mini fair). She was having so much fun on the slide I just had to take a video! I love watching it and hearing her laugh....it just makes me happy!
I can't wait to have a long fun weekend with my family...and then on Tuesday, O starts school...how crazy is that? I'm so not ready...but he is, and I love his teacher, so I think we will all be okay.
Happy Friday everyone!

Wordless Wednesday - Shoe Fetish?
Yep...we may have one...because this is what we purchased during a rain storm while at the beach.....and this is all we purchased during this shopping trip...
Poor Troy, the originator of our shoe fetish only got one pair, where everyone else got 2 pair each. And all but one pair are Adidas....and they were bought at 3 different stores! One last fact...we put back a few pair of shoes we were debating on and never went back to purchase...so who knows how many we would have bought.
Cute side note - B is hilarious trying on shoes....she prances around the store to see if she likes them.
Things are a bit crazy on my end with vacation last week (and horrible Internet connection), O starting school next week, and being short handed at work. I promise some good posts coming up...and 2 awesome hair clip reviews and giveaways!

Saturday's Top 5 Laughs - 8/25
Once again I'm doing this from my phone. Our Internet at the beach was horrible but we were having so much it didn't really matter.
5. We took B to play putt putt a few times this week. She would run over every obstacle and place her ball in the hole. It was so cute.
4. B is in love with sunglasses. She's asleep now rocking them out!
3. Mom was saying bye to my brother and his family and B really wanted her to "hold you". When my brother picked B up to hug her she hugged him then somehow ended up with Missy (my mom). She looked at me and laughed and said "Mama I got Missy, I got Missy to hold you!". She was so proud of herself.
2. Troy was channel surfing when O hollered out "Stop Dad, I want to watch big people ping pong". It was tennis!
1. 30 minutes away from the beach O had to potty bad. Of course we were in the middle of no where trying to find a place to stop. He hollers out "that's good over there the bushes are already dead"

Wordless Wednesday - Little Protector
While playing Putt Putt we found a cave under a waterfall. I asked the kids to stand for a picture but to be careful of the rocks behind them....little did I know just how much O was going to protect his little sister! I'm scared for all the boys she will try to date!
(FYI - a lot of the difference in their faces is the difference between a nap, and no nap!)
