She's Greek....

One night I decided to enjoy a Greek salad that my mom had left in the fridge. After two bites, I had a friend.....and her name was Elly K. 

I literally took two bites and enjoyed the tomatoes and this little girl ate the rest:

I had to get an action shot for documentation purposes. This is one of those moments that you don't think anyone will believe unless you have proof. What 18 month old likes Greek salad (feta and all):

But she loved it:

Saturday Night Dates

A couple of week ago, I kept the Cashion boys so their momma could go out for a little bit. EK still adores Curt and Jack so keeping all three has never been an issue. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER! 

I thought I would share some of the moments from our date night with the boys.

This blur would be Jack tickling Elly K:

And then Curt got in on the action and started a pillow fight with her:

Due to a recent dishwasher issue, we had a box to play with outside:

But EK was more interested in going up the slide...with her one sock on (FYI - she learned this wasn't much fun after a couple of falls):

Trying to get them to eat supper was entertaining. There was too much playing to do to slow down for eating:

And the night ended with Curt and Jack performing the "Hotdog" dance for me:

 

We always have fun with the Cashion boys!

Cotton Pickin'

Yogurt...

Someone loves key lime pie yogurt these days...especially when she gets to get it like a big girl! 

So so yummy!

Who needs a spoon?? Not Elly K....

The end: 

50 Minutes of Spaghetti O's

Last night, I decided to give Spaghetti O's a try again. Elly K use to love them but then decided she didn't. This time, I gave her the spoon and the bowl, undressed her, and let her have at it. The first 30 minutes were spend playing with the O's:

Then she decided the bowl needed to be moved to the table for more play room:

Then FINALLY, and I mean 30 minutes later FINALLY, she decided to give them a try:

And guess what?!? She loved them. I even had to scoop some of the "played with" O's back in her bowl so she could have more:

Fully indulging:

 After 50 minutes, EK had eaten almost all her food! O's, peas, cornbread, cheddar cheese, and a few grapes! Guess we will have to add Spaghetti O's to our regular rotation.....just know we will be at the table for a while.

Beach Trip 2013 - Part 1

So another Schlenker camping adventure took place over the last weekend in September. I will break this down into two part since my blogger app hates posting so many pictures at one time! 

After doing some major research, I found a RV park so close to the beach that you didn't need to drive to get there. I really didn't want to wag all that stuff from the truck to the beach for 2 hours then have to wag it all back (and drive back to the camper) due to a nap time. So we headed to Port St Joe State Park!! The camp sites were just over the dunes from the beach. It was the perfect distance!

 Since it was a 6+ hour drive, we decided to leave out Friday afternoon and make it to Dothan for the night.

Before making the trip, a DVD player was purchased for our (Momma and Daddy's) sanity! Lets just say, I know some Max and Ruby, Team Umizoomi, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes by heart.

After spending the night at the Flying J in Dothan (yes you read that correctly....camper, Flying J, overnight, parking lot...not the greatest night) we got up and headed to Florida. 

Miss EK sure knows how to make a car seat look comfortable:

 I took this picture on the bay side. The water was so pretty there!

Once we got there is was nap time but then we hit up the beach for a little afternoon fun.

She was all about the digging this first day!

But she eventually fell in love with the water (please don't judge...I'm 8 months pregnant):

After a much quieter night, we started the next morning with a trip to the park. I don't know who was having more fun: 

Beach Trip Part 2 Preview: No cell service, more beach pictures, a run in with wildlife, and the trip back.

Beachy Fun!

I'll be back shortly! We are off having some beachy fun!
