BEFORE Back to School FUN . . .

This past weekend was our last weekend that we got to Pops and Gamma's for the summer (without having to crunch time to get back). It was a lot of fun . . .

We played on our own a litte:

We played with Elena:

We played with Pops on the trampoline:

And we played on the tractors again!

This time Bubby and I raced Pops and the girls:

We didn't keep track of who won (because it wasn't us), but we had SO MUCH FUN!

When we finally went inside, we played with Gamma's dishes . . . it was really funny when his little tiny teeth would get squished into view while the bowl was squished against his face!



Then, we go to go to Tia Marci's house also . . . so many toys there we don't know what to do with them all. Except the cell phone - I think it provided amusement for an hour!

Moving on from the cell phone, we played with Alexa - who happily shopped with Augie!

Don't doubt it though, when Augie got out, it was definitely her turn (with the "cheese face" and all)!

We tried to get Augie in the Gator again - he still doesn't quite fit:

After a nice nap on the way home, Pops gave Augie a new toy . . . his tractor antenna topper! Augie had a blast with this thing.

He played with it on the patio until he was ready for bath time, bed time, and the return home the next day!


All together, another blessed weekend with the family.
We pray that everyone out there gives and gets a hug from someone in their family this week (but only because we can't give out John Deere tractor rides)!
;)

Buzzed!

So, I decided that I didn't do the best job on Augie's hair cut. And, therefore, we buzzed him - just like his Daddy-O.


Before:


We weren't real thrilled about this idea . . .


His hair looks a lot darker when it's all chopped off:


After - A much better result:






Well, Augie decided that he didn't like the buzzer. But his hair looks better, he's cooler, and it was SO much easier than using scissors.


Lookin' good little man!!!

MOMBA SNAKE

Ok -

So, some of you might be looking for an explanation. If you don't know, the Mamba snake is a very poisonous snake. My husband, has nicknamed me "Momba Snake!" I, of course, have changed the first "a" in Mamba to an "o" so that it is a little more fitting.



So, the joke is, that when I get "snappy," very "motherly," or say something that Gus thinks is said in those manners . . . he uses his "finger fangs," hisses at me, and calls me Momba snake. I guess it's like when some people call women catty and hiss to signify that . . . well, this is my husbands playful, "new, and improved" version of that.

It has honestly developed into a pet name. He even calls me Momba as my name around Augie. Yes, at times he still gives me the finger fangs, but I guess it comes with the territory, right?!
