Today is Mike's 43rd birthday! We celebrated last night by going to his favorite mexican food restaurant. I did let them know it was his birthday, and because we are regulars there, they got the entire staff to sing to Mike. While you may think that would be embarrassing enough, that doesn't compare with them putting a "celebratory" sombrero on top of his head. Mind you that with the size of his cranium it literally sat on TOP of his head!! I was really wishing I had brought the camera for that - it was priceless - as was his level of embarrassment over the whole thing! Really didn't know Mike could turn that many shades of red and even purple!
We had a gorgeous sunset the other night and I was able to coax Mike and the kids to hop in front of the camera for a quick shot - hence the sunset shot above!
Katie has gotten very independent and I'm told daily how she can "do it myself". This morning was one of those reminders from her - so the progression photos are of her actually dressing herself. As you can see from the last one - she's quite proud of herself - as is mom!
Both kids are growing by leaps and bounds. I just measured them today and they each grew another 3/4" this month. Zach is now 47.25" tall and Katie is not far behind him at 40.25" tall. I knew yesterday something was up with Katie when it took 4 clothing changes to find a dress for church that still fit. I've also noticed that her shorts are turning into something more along the lines of Daisy Dukes! Of course, with the height increases comes the foot increases - and yes, their feet have grown yet again! I'm afraid to really look too carefully at how well, or not so well, their shoes are fitting! Katie's toes aren't hanging over the front edge of her sandals - so I figure she's good to go for a little longer! LOL! Zach has a pair of flip-flops which have become his favorite new shoes - and hey, for $2 from Old Navy - I'm not complaining!!!
I have just started using a babysitter! I can't believe it, but I've got the most mature 14 year old girl who is doing a fabulous job with the kids and I am finally starting to get a bit of a break here and there! I actually booked her for this Saturday night so Mike and I can actually have a "date"! I'm soooo looking forward to that.............now, I just have to find something special to wear......
