I for once did not have to work on Friday overnight so had the energy to have fun with the girls on Saturday. First stop, Jolly Pirate, the donut place. :o)

Saturday night after movie time, we watched Hocus Pocus we had a fire with smores. Sweet beginning and ending to the day!

On Sunday I had to work in the afternoon so the girls spent the day with daddy; watching football, playing baseball, eating ice cream.

They are doing what they call the hot dog dance. :o) Its a nightly show!

Ella took this pic of Eva and their puppies.

They were playing baseball with daddy.

Ella is catching a grounder...she is getting pretty good.

after baseball came blizzards from DQ, they love their daddy.

Aunt Becky and Uncle David came back to show us their new camper on Thursday, the girls loved playing in it. Just their size!

Ella in the camper on the bed.

Uncle David is giving them a ride.

Cool pic, Ellla is throwing a beanbag and Eva is throwing her coat.

We went downtown on Wednesday to Slice of Columbus, a childrens hospital fundraiser, where are the area pizza joint serve all you can eat pizza and we judge the best pizza in Columbus.

oh and free ice cream from DQ.

David helped Evan bottle his beer on Friday! The end result which gets to be enjoyed in a few weeks.

Jets Pizza

I think they are getting a little big for that ride and the entire babies r us store. Sad!

The zoo fall festival was yesterday, they had pumpkin carvers there. Pretty amazing!

And lots of mascots!

Eva's favorite pumpkin!

So angelic, they were posing by a baby elephant statue.

Ella and Eva got front row seats to watch this lady feed the tiger. They loved it!

The mascot caravan. They paraded around the zoo!

We watched a Jack Hannah show, pretty amazing to be in the same room as him.

He told us many important facts about the animals they showed; a penguin was one of them.

And this nasty snake!

And a warthog!

We got to pet many animals; Flamingos

Turtles!

Baby Kangaroos

Thats how close Eva got to him as he was signing an autograph for her. :o)

 

 I completely forgot to blog last week, I swear I did it. I guess I was a little sleep deprived from all my nights in a row. I have thoughourly enjoyed every night in bed since. :o) Although I have developed an itchy rash from an autoimmune responce to a virus. Nothing I can do about it but it is slowly going away, just very irritating. It's not contagious, although Becky and I both have the rash so I'm wondering how. Anyways the girls don't have it so thats the most important part. They do however have a cold, but most kids do because of the change of seasons and school starting. They still have the energy to have fun and drive me crazy everyday. :o) Last week we spent catching up with our friends over playdates. We went downtown on Wednesday and Dave and Becky arrived Thursday and stayed till Saturday. A little longer than expected but wonderful to have them here, the girls are getting pretty attached to them. Hopefully it wont be long and we will be together again. On Friday we bought a couch and bless their heart Dave and Becky were here to move it and help transform our new living area in the dining room. Looks very nice and Evan has already been in there enoying his sports without us girls. :o) The zoo day was yesterday and we had so much fun, the best zoo experience yet. It was the fall festival so there was a lot more going on than usual, as you can see from all of our pictures. Jack Hannah was a highlight for all of us! Hope everyone is ready for fall, because its here!

 

 

Aunt and Uncle Time

The girls were cheering for us while we played bean bag toss and obviously thrilled about it.

I was trying really hard, as you can tell. :o)

Everyone went min-golfing on Saturday morning, while our car got an oil change and I slept.

Eva and Auntie Becky ran around the entire time, they had fun!

Great pic of  Uncle David and Ella.

The girls love playing computer games these days.

Ella and Eva practicing their hot dog dance. They really get into it.

Eva is pretending to talk to Uncle David.

Watch out for the wicked witch Hilda! She sometimes turns nice and is named Glenda, it all depends on her mood.

Auntie love!

We (including me) went apple picking.

Uncle and Ella were cuttting down a tree.

Ella was such a big help. They fixed the porch steps!

Ella and Uncle's art project!

Eva and Evan playing!

Eva put on some crazy socks on her feet and hands.

Just relaxing on the way to Cinncinati for the Reds game.

Eva running the bases, looks like really fast.

The girls playing in the baby zone!

Ella is probably talking to Uncle David.

It was mascot Sunday so there were a lot of them.

What a cute pic, Evan didn't want to carry a purse so he gave it to Ella. What a big girl!

As much as I loved being home alone I missed out on this great experience. :o(

Ella running the bases on the real baseball field, after the game. Part of the Reds Kids Club day!

Ella got her certificate for being a great Reds head kids club member.

Eva's going all by herself, she may just win.

The finished art product.

My pretty lady smelling the roses or some type of flower ;o)

What a great pic of them!

Well I am so thankful for Auntie and Uncle to come and stay with us this last 2 weeks. I am now on night 9 of 9 tonight and am so extastic my long work week is over. I'm exhausted! They all have had so much fun together and as much as I say I need to work more and get some time away from them I have hated these last 2 weeks. Although I went from working not very often to every night so thats a big difference. Well one positive is that I have made a lot of money; its time to go shopping ;o) So they arrived last Wednesday and are here until Tomorrow. Uncle David left Monday night but will be back tomorrow to get Becky and go look at some campers around the area to hopefully purchase. As you can see from the pics Ella and Uncle are really close and Eva and Becky, its hard to handle both of them so they split up usually and thats how they do it. The girls love them so much and now call to them instead of me, which kind of makes me sad but not really. Auntie and Uncle love their attention! They have kept them busy and quiet while I have slept throughout the day. The girls only complain at night when I can not lay with them, instead I leave for work. On Sunday they went to the Reds game, I stayed home alone, which was the first time in a long time thats happened. I slept, watched a movie, did some laundry, did some shopping and spent time with my friend Jenna. It was a great day but as much as I complain about baseball games I secretly missed them all and wanted to be in on the fun. Well we have had the most wonderful last couple of weeks. One we will remember forever. Thank so much auntie and uncle, I would have never survived without them. They don't know how much it means to all of us. THANKS!
