Weekend at the Gateway




Friday I took off work to spend the whole day with my kids. It seems that I hardly get a chance to do that anymore, so every moment I get to spend with them is priceless. D.J.'s last day of preschool was Friday and he had a party. It was carnival style, with face painting, BBQ, the works. He had so much fun and was happy that I could go to his school with him again. It was really hot out and my kids both got a tan, while I got a little pink. They have the PERFECT skin. They rarely ever burn and when they don't have a tan, they are the most beautiful color of olive. I wish my color was that beautiful.

After the party, I took D.J. and Annie to the gateway. This was the first year that D.J. really got in the fountains! He was always a little bit afraid of them. He even made two friends there that day. Annie kept looking at the fountains like they were magical. She really liked it until she got cought under one of the spouts of water, and I had to run in and rescue her. She won't go in them anymore but she still has fun watching her cool big brother play in them. It was so hard to get D.J. away from the fountains, that I had to take them on Saturday too! We had a blast! We had ice cream cones afterwards and then went to dinner later on that evening. And I finally, finally got Annabelle's fine hair in two little pint sized pig tales. She looks like such a big girl! My kids are the cutest little people in the whole world!

She is at it again! Where is officer D.J.? We need his help!



There is our hero! He got the food back, and is taking it to its rightful owner.

Thank you very much, officer!
