So it has been a really crazy month or so at the Simmons house! I haven't had time to do a whole lot except keep the kids fed and alive and the house somewhat picked up-that is the important stuff right:)
So I am going to play catch up with all the stuff that has been going on around here and then hopefully I will get better and start posting regularly again for my faithful 3 readers:)
So one morning we are eating breakfast and Janalee, for the 3rd time that week, spilled milk all over the chair. We had fabric chairs and so I had to go outside and hose the chair down and then wait for it to dry. So I decided I was done!! I went to JoAnn's and got some material and some plastic covering and whipped out the staple gun and fixed the chairs. I love it. It is much better now during meal time clean up because I can just wipe them off. I was very proud of myself!!
Before
After
Next, my sister Tiffany came for a visit! YAY!!!! We were all very excited to have her here. We of course had to go play at the beach, what else would you do in Florida?
Before we went to the beach, Aunt "Tippy"-as Janalee called her, brought some gifts for the kids. The dress here is one from a cousin(thanks Steph!) and Janalee LOVES this dress and I pretty much have to steal it from her in her sleep to wash it. She wears it almost every day. The shoes here are Cinderella slippers that light up when you walk. Janalee LOVES these too!! We had to hind them from her after a few days because she was getting blisters from them, poor thing.
Good times at the beach!!
SEAWORLD!!!!
Tiffany's hubby came out for a few days too and we all went down to Seaworld. My sister is preggo-I am so excited- and with the kids we decided that we couldn't really do ride so we would take them to seaworld and see all the shows. I was a little worried about the kids sitting for all the shows, but they did awesome!! They loved watching all the fish do tricks and swim around. Let me tell you people, it was HOT!!!!!!!!! I don't think I really want to do a theme park again when it is 98 degrees outside with 1,000% humidity. Let me tell you, we were all sweating like pigs!! Still had tons of fun though. Shaun and I can go again anytime for the rest of the year for free, so come on out-when it is a little cooler though:)
Here is Aunt "Tippy" and Janalee watching the fish swim around!
Parker loved the big aquariums so that some of the fish were down at his level! He would have spend forever watching these fish if we didn't finally pick him up and walk to the next tanks haha.
Ya, that is a shark that is swimming right over us. How cool is that!
Here we all are waiting for the big Shamu(or however you spell his name) show!!!
Not a bad picture with a one year old sitting on my lap trying to grab the camera:)
We pet the sting rays, which was really slimy but cool! Janalee was a little unsure at first, but when she saw all of us doing it she gave in to the curiosity. This is uncle Jonny helping her pet them.
They had a little splash park for the kids too. I brought their swimming suits and had brought a change of cloths just in case; so I decided that instead of waiting in line to change into their swim suits and then again to change back into dry clothes we just would skip a step. Pretty smart, right!!
