so i got a recommendation from a friend, called the new guy and got an appointment the same day! why didn't i do this a long time ago? i don't know. anyway, tatum has strep. poor thing, she puked all weekend and had a little fever, but i kept thinking it was just teething. i don't take my kids to the doctor very often, partly because they are pretty healthy, and partly because i just think it will do thier immune systems good to fight stuff off themselves. that's my theory anyway. but i'm glad i took her this time! we got an antibiotic and i hope it works quick. i am tired of cleaning up puke!
my little trooper (or puker)!we had a fun day trip on saturday. we took the girls to zube park where they give FREE train rides on their miniature steam engines. it was really fun. we decided to make it a regular monthly outing. for anyone in houston, check out hals.org for the run dates.
then we went to the new outlet mall right up hwy 290, about 15 minutes from our house! it was awesome, we were so impressed with the layout, the merchandise and the kid-friendliness. there is even a playground in front of the nike outlet! and there are little 50 cent rides everywhere. we never actually put 50 cents in, but avery likes to get on the horse/airplane/bus, etc and pretend. great for when one of us wants to shop in a store and the other stays outside with the kids.
then we ate some yummy mexican food at a new place nearby, alicia's mexican grille - we definately want to go back. we are big mexican food fans, if we had lots of money and didn't care about our health, i think we would eat it every day. avery can put down a bowl of guacamole or salsa with the best of 'em.
this was sunday after church. i know i am cruel but i still put avery in these little panties i got as a gift when she was a baby. i think it's because i had some with "melanie" on the butt when i was a little girl and my parents took blackmail pics of me sleeping in my little panties, so i feel the need to continue the tradition. just so you know, tatum has a pair the same size which she wears over her diaper and they fit tatum just about perfectly. so needless to say they are TIGHT on avery's little bum, but they are so cute!

i hope she's better soon.
we've been to zube park once...not sure why we haven't gone back, we had lots of fun. maybe we'll try it again...
as for mexican food, we're regulars at del pueblo--kids eat free mondays and tuesdays...maybe we can meet there some time. (the owners are CCS parents.)
that is hilarious! i was cracking up at the computer, brian kept asking me what's so funny. but seriously that was some good advice. i especially like teaching your kids to sit on their bottom. what a good idea! we would love to meet you guys at del pueblo. i'll email you.
Hey..I loved this post..I feel like I can keep up with you so much better. How's Tatum feeling..any better than when you posted this? And...the train thing is awesome, next time we visit you have to take us and we love Mexican food so we're counting on you sharing that with us as well!!! I LOVE Avery's diaper cover...Kate will be wearing them on up until she absolutely refuses to.
