Mommy's Birthday!

Twinkle..............twinkle.......... little..........star

If you ever wondered what it is like in a classroom with fourteen 2 year olds, here you go!  Chuck's teacher sent this video to me!  She said they had been singing like this all day and it was so funny and bad!  We decided that they could probably get hired at the local funeral home!

Chuck is the one in a blue shirt sitting on the corner of the rug doing the motions above his head.  God bless his teachers.

What's in a name?

Well folks, we have come to an agreement.  We have a name.  We actually had two names but they were both for girls.  So we have been pondering... a lot.  In the last few weeks we actually came up with NO names.  Not one.  We couldn't think of one we both liked.

I have always wanted to name a child "Smith".  We have a strong line on Smith's in my family and Dr. has a strong line of Smith's in his family so we thought that would be a perfect name.  At first that was going to be the middle name.  Well, we couldn't think of a first name so we decided we would call the baby Smith.  Then we were stuck.  We had no middle name.  We had to ponder some more.

Chuck's name mainly comes from Dr's side of the family.  Since my brother is the last of the Allen's and it doesn't seem like there is a little boy in their future, Dr and I decided that we need to carry on the Allen name.

So there we have it.

Baby Boy #2 will be blessed with the name Smith Allen Weber and we will call him "Smith".

It is wonderful that we have come up with the name already because we can work on it with Chuck.  Unfortunately, it is actually hard to pronounce.  So when Chuck says "Smith" it actually comes out "Piss".  So there you have it.   Watch out for Chuck and Piss Weber on the football field.

Dancin'

Apparently we need to work on our dance moves!

Fresh

Our fancy grocery store here is called Fresh. It's owned by Brookshires and is their form of Whole Foods. They have everything you can imagine. If we have had a long or rough day we can go pick up a bag that is "Dinner for Two". It has a complete dinner in it. It has a sandwich and salad bar. A coffee bar, and a taco bar. On weekends it has live music on its back patio. It's outside grill is open and you can pick up anything inside.

We can hear and see the grocery store from our house and heard it was a decent place to take kids. So for my birthday that is what I decided I wanted to do... go to the grocery store. We got there right at 6 so we could play the whole "Chuck" thing by ear. They had a Latin American band playing. At first all Chuck wanted to do was eat Gelato and sit in our laps. All the little girls were dancing.

Chuck's teacher ended up coming with her family. We have become good friends over the summer. He was so excited to see her. He had a blast hugging on her 11 month old baby and had an even better time dancing with her 5 year old daughter! He eventually started running around and "dancing", I mean jumping!

We stayed until 9 when the music closed down! Where else can you take your kids, let them run around, eat, drink ( and potentially get wasted)? It's like an outside bar that you can take your kids to!

So if you come and visit and our grocery store is having music you better believe we are going! They even do a crawfish boil with Cajun music, a St. Patty's day party, etc ( and kids are always welcome)! We even saw a rainbow that looked as if it was going right to our house!

Here are some pics! I will post A video of Chuck "dancing" in a little bit!

First Day of School

You all know what I'm working with. We finally attempted our first day of school picture. I asked him what he wanted to be and he said "doctor". He sure does love his poppy and daddy. When it came to picture time.... Well, this picture says it all. And so does "No me picture mommy!".

Butterfry

"I want to touch the butterfry!"
