fake school starts soon

so samira is going back to the same preschool that she went to last year.  she is excited about it and so are we.  we are trying to fall into a new routine.  one where kent takes the kids to three (sometimes four) different places each day he is home with them.  it doesn't suck at all.  i have to pick out clothes for both of the munchkins each night to plan for the next days activities.  that's more of a chore that it sounds like due to the length of time it takes me to do laundry.  as a result, my kids have a lot of clothing.  and i'm not sure if you know what that means, more laundry.  it's a vicious cycle i tell you!

on saturday we went to the Shedd Aquarium in chicago.  samira and pierce had a great time.  they really liked seeing all the fish.  at the time it seemed liked most of the population of north america was at the place.  that's to say it was slightly overwelming.  but the little people didn't even notice.  i saw a shirt i really regret not buying at the gift shop.  and the fact that i am still talking about it five days later really sucks!  i usually never pass up the opportunity to spend money, especially if the man is next to me saying go ahead buy it.  

we ate at the food court-like area and surprisingly it had some great choices for s and p friendly food.  blueberries, yogurt, cheese duck shaped crackers, even organic pudding.  (i know kaity, that last statement was not actually a sentence)  we got sushi from our favorite place on the way home.  in retrospect, it seems wrong that we ate that much fish after spending the day looking at fish.  (but to quote a silly girl i know, we wouldn't eat so much sushi if they didn't make it so tasty)

before leaving for chicago we had a photo shoot.  kent has a pic of himself at about 6 (i say at least 8) months old sitting at his dad's drums so we brought up the rosewood set and took hundreds of pics with the new camera.  p loves drums.  

btw, pictures still not in the order i want them in and i'm getting kind of bitter.
