Stink & Monk

The past few days have been crazy busy in the Rawlings household. Part of this week we watched our neighbors granddaughter, Hailey (who is Landon's age)... she was a doll and made me even more convinced that I want a third child someday.

I did manage to make some time for a quickie photo shoot with the kiddos this week. I haven't felt inspired like I want to lately and I needed to get out there and just watch my kids be kids. The results, I'm happy to say, I was rather pleased with. Especially Shawn's shoot. Now that he's a bit older he's also a bit easier to follow around. Landon I still have to worry about falling, eating things he's not supposed to, and crying for me to pick him up.

Two nights this week Lauri (Hailey's mom) took the kiddos for chinese. I can't say it enough... Landon LOVES it there. That kid downed TWO full plates tonight!!! Granted, there was quite a mess on the floor, but still, he ate more than I did! The little monster babe decided to rub mac n cheese all over in his hair. With a goofy grin on his face he smeared it all around. What a messy boy!

Today the kiddos and I took a stroll around the mall (I needed some new scents for my scentsy warmer) and then headed over to Aunt Lizzy and Uncle John's. As always, it was wonderful to see them, as we missed them so much. On the way over there, as we were entering their town, Shawn started getting rather worried. He sits in the back saying "We're going back to the Fburg house. I LIKE my Fburg house!"

We all love it here... so much. The town, the house, our amazing neighbors... and a certain peace we feel that we have made it somewhere... stepping closer to our dreams. We have made some great new friends here... and all of us say it to one another quite frequently... we love it here!

Mmm... chompy chompin' at the watermelon.

Shawn has this crazy obsession with Nightmare Before Christmas (its a kids movie of sorts, so don't worry!) EVERY day we have to watch it... and this is what happens... EVERY time.
