Randomness

I have a lot of things to report, so I'm just putting them all together in one.  11/3 was Bennett's 1/2 birthday, so to stick with tradition, Brandon took her to Schnucks in her PJs to choose whatever cereal she wanted.  Somehow, they came back with 2 boxes of pure junk!! ;)

Last weekend, Brandon got a lot of baby items out of the garage so that I could start organizing, cleaning, etc.  Miles decided he must try out everything!

 What a goof!

I also was able to go on a walking field trip with Bennett's class to the Kirkwood Farmer's Market.  Here are all the girls in her class.  A great bunch of kids!

We just got a new chair in our great room delivered yesterday.  Of course the kids had to try it out! (and  I had to get a picture of Miles in his mustache shirt just for daddy!)

Bennett wanted to read to Miles in the new chair too! What a good big sister!!

Today, Miles had school, but Bennett was off because of Parent-Teacher conferences.  Bennett and I had some girl bonding time.  We went to the Butterfly House (we had never been before) and it was really cool! Thousands of butterflies were flying around everywhere! They were gorgeous! One even landed on my head! You had to watch where you were walking too, because butterflies land on the ground and drink water from the path too.  Bennett really liked it! Then I let her run around on the playground for awhile after that.  Finally, we headed to the mall and I let her pick out 2 new outfits for her new baby brother, and one for her.  She was very proud of her choices! We had a great mommy-daughter morning.
