We took Goober to a car show in Burleson, about 15 minutes away from our house. He loved it and he kept darting from one old car to the next saying " look at that camero, or look, that is so and so from "Cars". He swears he even saw the real Lightning McQueen :). Then towards the very end of our time there a guy let him sit in his car!! He was thrilled. He and dad decided that they are going to buy an old car some day and redo it together!!!
We also bought a new camera. The problem with our old one is that by the time I take one picture and it processes it, I have missed the cute thing the kids are doing. So, we went on a mission to get an SLR camera!!!! We went to Target, Wal-Mart, Conns and two different Best Buys, and then we found it.....a Sony DSLR, alpha 230. It came with a Zoom Lens-which sale separately for a lot. It has 10.2 megapixels, continuous shot capability and ISO 100-3200. But here is the kicker, someone had bought it an brought it back so they had to sale it as "opened". We got it for $130 off plus we had a $100 Visa giftcard.....so we were stoked!!!!!! We have been playing with it and I love love love it! I think it will be perfect for taking pictures of Goob during sports and Ribbit as she runs around!!
Okay, now kid stuff.
Goober is soo funny. Lately, when something really makes him laugh he says " that is cracking me out"....not up, out! He also has been telling me about my upcoming birthday and christmas presents. But each time he makes me promise to forget what he is about to tell me so that I will be surprised. So far I am getting a red phone, chocolate hearts and a red motor scooter. HA!!
Goober has also been going through a growth spurt. A pair of size 12 tennis shoes that he got in Feb. no longer fit him, we are now on to size 13 or even 1 shoes. Therefore, my friend at school, who just adopted two boys, age 5 and 4, has now received 4 pairs of shoes and a full box of Goob's clothes-including school uniforms that he just can't fit into anymore!!!
Ribbit is definitely getting better at using her forks and spoons and request one for every meal, regardless of what we are eating. She went up the book " Green Eggs and Ham" yesterday at Barnes and Noble and said " Eggs!!" very excitedly!!! She is figuring out how to walk on her tippy toes which is quite cute and everywhere we go she tries to walk backwards if she can! She also is taking showers with us now, instead of baths. Shes does pretty well, and she loves to scrub mommy's legs with soap--she thinks its super funny!!!
We start potty training today- so pray for us!!!!
This first video is Goober's take on what happened when Ribbit pooped and played in it. He tells everyone about it, regardless of whether or not they want to hear it, or if we have just met them!!
These next two videos are us playing with sidewalk chalk. We love playing outside!!
