We have had a busy but interesting few weeks, and I've been either too busy or too tired to keep up with blogging! Last Saturday we had Buddy Day, where we let Luke plan out our day. First, we went to a dinosaur exhibit near our house, where there were replicas of dino skeletons. Then he chose to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch, and later that night we had the world's largest servings of ice cream for dessert. We had been so busy lately with our lives so we wanted to make sure Luke felt special for a day.
Yesterday we went to Payton's birthday party, and the kids got to wear their costumes. Luke is going to be soccer player since we had an Italian soccer jersey, and Mia is a pumpkin with a too-cute costume from Gymboree! I didn't get photos of Luke yet, but I'll get plenty on Halloween! Mia was sitting so quietly on the floor, so I managed to get a quick shot of her.
Marc went to Sam Houston State University Thursday to watch their basketball team practice, so the kids ended up with Bearkat clothes that they put on this afternoon, and I hadn't taken a cute photo of them in a few days, so it about time to get another one!
Luke and I could have filmed a show for the discovery channel today with our critter moments! When we got home from Target, there was a big monarch butterfly on our lantana out front. We sat out there for 30 minutes and it just flew right around us, not bothered at all that we were there trying to take a photo and being very loud. At one point, it seemed to chase Luke around the driveway, and that may be due to his bright orange shirt! 2 hours later, it's still flying around our front yard. Then we were in the kitchen and he screamed "Mommy, look!" and I assumed it was a spider or cricket but I turned around and saw a snake slithering across my kitchen floor! While I wanted to just panic and run, I knew Marc wasn't home and it was headed towards the fridge, so I grabbed a tupperware container, threw it on top, and called Brenda! We left it there until Marc got home and he humanely set it free across the street. I know it was only about 6 inches long, but still, a snake in my kitchen doesn't rest well with me!! Makes me wonder how long it's been slithering through my house... and 2 people (Marc and Luke) both slept on the floor last night. Gross.
So besides all that, we're doing well now. Marc was out of school most of the week with his back out, but he's up and about pretty much fully healed today. Mia isn't too happy, and we think it's got to be more teeth coming in . I can't believe this week is the end of the first 9 weeks of school either. I hope everyone has a great week. Enjoy the photos of our past 2 weeks! I didn't get a real shot of the snake -just on my camera - so you'll have to miss out on that one.

Mia is going to clean up in the candy department looking so cute. Too bad she can't wat it and will have to share with her parents. That is too cute!! Good job corraling the snake. ICK!! Did you ever see "Home Improvement" when they were trying to catch a snake in the house? I freak out when we get an occasional mouse.
The picture of Mia is sooooo adorable. I could just squeeze her! Jackson liked the picture of Luke with all the curious georges. (He is very much into curious george now) I am glad you had a good weekend. The ice cream sounds good! Now hopefully the weekend will be complete with the tribe winning!!
What a cute pumpkin! Luke and his Georges is very cute, too!
