Random Photos and Dawson's First Job!

Ashlynn loves cats so she has a lot of kitty stuff! I couldn't resist this shirt with cats and books!!
 These next few pictures are from the day we went to the zoo, after we had gotten home. My dad came by because he and Dave needed to do their fantasy football draft or something and my dad needed a little bit of help.

Dave and Papa drafting their teams
 Ashlynn has been quite the little helper in the kitchen and can even make a few things mostly on her own like toast, bagels, and even scrambled eggs! Here she is helping finish up the mac & cheese by stirring it all together. I need to get some pictures of her making eggs, she's really good at it!

 After Dave and my dad were finished with their draft we played a Harry Potter Triwizard Maze game.


And my dad and Dave went over to my neighbors house who were giving this recliner away for free! It fits in perfectly in our family room. Here Ashlynn is trying it out and reading one of our blog books! (We get the posts that I write here printed into books each year and the kids LOVE being able to go back when they were babies or whenever and read about what we were up to. We're a couple of years behind on printing but we'll get caught up soon!)

Ashlynn reading an blog book from 2011, I'd guess. I see a Halloween Disneyland photo in the book as well as Ashlynn trying to crawl and Dawson and Ashlynn giving each other kisses. Aww!! 
 Last Sunday we had family over here for dinner. Dave had won a big party size frozen lasagna that we never would've been able to eat ourselves, so it was nice to invite them over and make dinner for everyone. After dinner the kids played for a bit and then the cousins had to leave. I gave Dawson and Ashlynn quick showers while Nana and Papa hung out with Dave and then we watched Big Brother together.



This week was an exciting week for Dawson at school. He got to work in the cafeteria for the first time!! The first day he was serving up sub sandwiches, the next day he helped the dishwasher, on Wednesday he was wiping down tables, Thursday he served up corn, and on Friday he served carrots! He really enjoyed it. I was happy I was able to visit him on his first day and get a few pictures.




2nd grade was about to go to lunch when I went to see Dawson so I waited a few minutes so I could say hi to Ashlynn too. Look at that cute kitty jacket and kitty lunchbox... she sure loves her cats!


The next day (Tuesday) I actually had an interview at the school! It went well and sounded like I pretty much got the job (which I know now that I did get, I'm the new P.E. aide 😊). After my interview I called up Dave to see if he could meet for lunch, and he could, so I drove out to see him. Here's our selfie with my van, Weasley. We got the van a few months ago, it's a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica and we LOVE it!! We named it Weasley after the Weasley's in Harry Potter. LOL I love them. Ashlynn wanted to name it Gryffindor which would've been a great name, too, but she was outvoted by Dawson and I. I 💓 Weasley.


Speaking of Harry Potter, check out the kids' new PJs!! We're all a little obsessed.



This next picture was taken at Leatherby's... Ashlynn can make it look like her foot is backwards. Eek!


As I was following Ash to her line one day, I was like you have a LOT of stuff on your backpack! She's got chapstick, lipgloss, hand sanitizer, two Harry Potter funko keychains two kitty plushies and an emoji plush! haha It's cute.


 That's all for now!
