Put me in mom! I'm ready!

Bennett loving the giraffes!

Kids looking at the ostrichs. There were four or five eggs off to the
right. More pictures to follow from Aunt Sarah who thankfully went
with us!

On Monday I took the kids to the Children's Museum of Memphis and
stayed the night with S2 and then went to the zoo. They had a ball and
were exhausted after two days of fun! Then we rested one day and were
off to visit the Wilson's in Gulf Shores!

After ringing up his purchases he looked at me for money!

Parker all dressed up and shaking her tail on the green screen. She
loved seeing herself dance on the TV!

Bennett in the firetruck!

Parker and Bennett climbing trees!

Clif got the weekend started off right!

Parker having lunch with daddy.

First time there is a speechless Barnes child!

Lulu loves taking baths! She splashes and splashes around getting me all wet!

Just a few pictures of us hanging out!

Parker and Bennett warming up after swimming in the cool temperatures we had this past weekend.

Here are a couple pictures of Lulu just playing and having a good time.
We love bathtime! She splashes the whole time.

Enjoying the nice weather we've had.

Silly face!

We are now sitting up really well. Unfortunately this means that she will be crawling soon. I've found her a couple of times on all fours. Is it bad if I pull her little legs out from under her!!

The neighbors were doing some landscaping and we had to go over and see the tractor everyday. They had taken a break but came back and Bennett heard them in the backyard and ran inside to tell us!

These are some busy days at the Barnes House. Someone is always eating but at least now I have someone to help us feed Lulu! Of course, she was only helping out because I was going to make her something in the kitchen....but I'll take anything these days!

After her bottle we enjoyed some fun outside in the beautiful weather we've been having.
And I got it!

Mom! Put away the camera already!

Parker's new do

I should have done this a long time ago!

Mary Olivia, the birthday girl!

Ruby got her face painted too!

The kids all painted tiles and put their hand print on it that will be made into a prince or a princess. I will post pictures when I get them back.

Parker painting her tile.

Bennett got his face painted too! He sat so still, I was in shock!

I don't have the picture but Mary Lesa got a great shot of Bennett looking cross-eyed when she was painting the horns below. I will post as soon as I can! Isn't he adorable!?

Not sure what he is really????

My painted face children

Saturday, we went to a Mary Olivia's 3rd birthday at Artrageous in Greenwood. It is a great little place where you can paint your own pottery. We hadn't been there before and we had a wonderful time. The owner is a fabulous face painter and of course Parker picked the cat face. You've never seen her sit so still!
