pirate days
Saturday, August 7, 2010
We went to our local Pirate Days today with Dawn and Josh. We had so much fun!!!
First up, we went to the craft area and got the makings for a pirate ship craft that we did later at home! The kids were still trying to get a feel for what was going on, and we hung out there for a while
I don't know WHAT is wrong with me in this pic, and I almost didn't put it up, but I very rarely get a pic of me and all of my babies, so here it is, anyway! This was right on the water...we would be back here later!
Then, we took a break to eat and discovered the most WONDERFUL pizza. I WILL be going back there!
There was some down time until the next event, so we got some ice cream...
And went to the playground on the beach.
Then was the main attraction! A pirate raiding party landed, got the "villagers" all riled up, and was confronted by the town militia!
The kids were soooo into it!
The militia got the best of the pirates!
We all marched with the captured pirates across the bay, where they were going to be "taken care of"
Emmeline slept through a lot of it!
The boys LOVED every second
And this is Shiloh yelling "TAKE THE BAY!!!" to the pirates....over and over!
To the right, you can see the cannon smoke, and all 3 of them are covering their ears!
Shiloh clapping for the action!
The full invasion! They came to the raiding party's rescue!
The pirates won! The made the mayor hand over the key to the city, and then he had to walk to plank into the Bay! Quite entertaining!
It was quite the wonderful, exciting day!

7 months {e}
Monday, August 2, 2010
Emmeline Lily is 7 months old today. She is my tiny, beautiful, cuddly girl. She loves her Mommy and anything that keeps her close to me. She eats her homemade baby food with relish, and she is scooting and *almost* crawling. She is not sleeping through the night, but it's ok, because she is so sweet to cuddle close at night, while she rubs my face and nurses back to sleep. She does, however, have a reliable stretch of time from 8pm until 2am where she doesn't eat and mostly sleeps. It's nice :)
Emmeline likes her paci, but not to the extent that Shiloh did, she also likes her thumb pretty well. She loves the outside, and the water. She says mama! She laughs hysterically at silly things and is officially in the "I will grab everything within my reach" stage. She really seems to love to yank on Shiloh's hair, but then cries when it makes Shiloh scream. Poor girls. She is sitting well, is still toothless, and is still wearing size 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.
Happy 7 months, Emmeline!
Lately
Tyrone left at the end of last week, after a really wonderful 15 days of leave. We are so sad to have him gone, but we know that the next time he is home, we will have much more than 2 weeks! So that is what we are looking forward to, being on the last (rather loooong) leg of our count down!
Yesterday was my birthday, and I didn't really think it would be any biggie, just because of circumstances, but I ended up feeling very loved and birthdayed! My Mom sent me a birthday-in-a-box, complete with cake and decoration and everything! My grandparents sent me a great card, and then our friends Dawn and Josh asked if we could all go to the zoo together! When we got there, Dawn had made me cupcakes! With little pinwheels! Anyway, we had a really awesome time! Here are the pics I got before my batteries died in the camera...
