Just some fun!!

We had a great morning this morning with some buddies of ours at the Children's Museum downtown. Ashley, Lilly, Asher, Ivana, Evie & sweet Ansley meet us at the museum for some fun times. Here are a few picture to show you the crazy kiddos!!!

Just Some Cute Kids.....

Haven't taken many picture of my two in a while so while we were playing outside I pulled out the camera...

Pumpkin Patch & Fair

Well the Martin Family had a very action packed weekend it feels like with doing the pumpkin patch on Saturday and the Coastal Carolina Fair on Sunday afternoon. Tommy the kids and I went to the Legare Farms pumpkin patch Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it. I think the kids favorite part was the hay ride where you can feed the cows. Okay I take that back it was Thomas favorite. Once Gracie saw how long the cow's tongues where when you went to feed them she was done... No way was she about to feed them again! It actually was very very funny! And as far as Thomas he just wanted to be put in the field with the cows and he would be a happy camper.

I am not sure who was more surprised by the cows tongue....

Then Sunday afternoon when the kids woke up from their naps we meet my parents and brother and sister at the fair. The kids absolutely loved it. Thomas of course was all about the food and Gracie surprisingly was all about the rides. It was so nice to have my whole family together and they were just an awesome help. 

Thomas wasn't a huge fan of the merry go around! At one point I thought her was going to get sick.

Gracie loved the Ferris wheel!!!!



A little dirt won't hurt!

Out of all the toys and swing set and play sink in our backyard to play with what does Thomas like best? DIRT!!! In our backyard we have a tiny little area in the corner of the yard with some dirt and Thomas found it about two days ago and played and dug a hole for literally 45 minutes! He was totally zoned in on the dirt. If you called his name he would look at you for a brief second then zone back in on the hole he was trying to dig. I must say it was the cutest thing ever.... At his age I was lucky to get Gracie to walk on dirt with her shoes on. She would freak if she got dirty. He is all BOY!!!

Working hard

Coming to get me to show me his hole...

Charlestowne Landing & Thomas' first haircut

Two weekends ago Tommy the kids and I met Matt, Ashley and their kids at Charlestowne landing for a fun walk around the park and picnic. The weather could not have been more beautiful..... Perfect day for a picnic! All the kids were great! Thomas and Asher slept in the stroller for a little bit and the girls played, played, played! It was fun to listen to them have their own conversation and giggle then argue if needed! HA HA It was great! Here are a couple of picture from my camera!

Look at that wild hair!

Lilly and Gracie looking at the Bear!

Two peas in a pod!

And finally about a month ago now we took Thomas to get his first haircut. It was driving me crazy. He had a mullet and it just drove be banana's. So we too him to the barber shop that Tommy goes too. I had to sit in the chair and hold him. He screamed and cried the whole time. You would think he was having his ears cut off.

I even tried giving him a lollipop and that didn't work.

Every time he looked at Mrs. Debra he would cry harder!



Bible Verses

We have been teaching Gracie some bible verse with the help of her ABC Bible verse book! I finally got a video of the first few verses we have been practicing.

A: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

B: Be ye kind to one another.

C: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

D: Delight yourself in the Lord.

E: Every good and perfect gift is from above. (this one she has some trouble with)

F: We are working on F! (Fear not for I am with thee.)

G: God is love

H: Honor your father and your mother.



This Girl Cracks Me Up!!

With in the last few weeks I feel like Gracie as developed this funny personality. (Well sometimes it is funny!) Gracie has been in a big girl bed for well over a month now and boy oh boy has it been a challenge. Never did I see this coming otherwise her little tush would still be in a crib. Every night it is something new with her. Well about a week ago Tommy was laying her down for bed and as usual she gets out of the bed only about 10.5 second after Tommy put her there to tell us that she has a boo-boo on her leg and needs medicine. Okay first time out of bed. Then Tommy puts her back and I will tell you how the conversation goes:

Tommy: Okay Gracie! It is bedtime and you need to go to sleep. Everyone is tired and everyone is going to bed.
Gracie: Okay Daddy! Can I have my passy. (pacifier)
Tommy: Here!

(About 5 minutes later we hear)

Gracie: Oh Daddy! Oh Daddy! I can't find my passy. Oh Daddy you hear me!

(At this point Tommy and I are listening to her on the monitor and just laughing.)

Tommy goes in there: Gracie! Where is you passy?  What did you do with it?
Gracie: I don't know! I can't find it!
Tommy: Well Gracie I can't find it either. Where is it?

Gracie gets out of bed and runs over to her little play kitchen in her room opens the microwave on it and says "Oh Daddy look I found them!"  With all Tommy has to compose himself he puts her back in bed comes out of her room and loses it laughing!

Another thing she has done is one morning she woke up around 6:00 and decided she was not tired any more so got out of bed and came in our room. She I guess wanted us to get up so she open and closed our door probably 10 times before Tommy got up and took her back to her room. And when I say closed our door I mean slammed it! After Tommy put her back in bed we got up about 30-45 minutes later only to find her in Thomas' room talking to him and throwing him toys into his crib. I guess since we didn't wake up and play she knew her brother would.
