These Days...

Well I wanted to do a post about what's been going on with us these days! There's always alot going on but this fall there seems to be one main theme--we are so so so BUSY!! Here's our schedule, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Tucker has school. On Tuesday mornings we go to Morning Grace at our church, I'm taking the Beth Moore bible study, Esther and Tucker gets to have a little morning bible lesson and Gigi enjoys some time with some wonderful ladies in the nursery. On Wednesday nights Bryce and I are taking a class given through our church about finances (let me just say that this one class in and of itself would be enough to keep us busy :). And, I have decided to start selling 31 Gifts, it's a direct sell company that specializes in monogrammed bags and pocketbooks as well as home decor and stationary items. (Just a plug--my website is www.mythirtyone.com/lindseygandy if any of the 2 people that read my blog want to look around or maybe even host a party! :) So, needless to say we are enjoying getting more involved at church and in God's word but we are busy bees! On top of all this my pocketbook got stolen out of my car last week and my camera was in it (and ironically so was my bible and bible study book--kind of funny that a thief got the bible ) so, I'm having to take pictures of the kids with my cell phone--so here are some new pics but they are a little fuzzy!

Gigi is getting so big--I can't believe that she's almost 6 months old, she is my precious girl and I love watching her personality come out!

Uhmm... do I really need to say anything--Tucker is still Tucker--still trying to get the potty thing down pat! He thought this was just hilarious that he could put himself all the way in the toilet!

And I got these knock-off Chanel sunglasses in New York and AMAZINGLY they broke the other day--so we were in the car and the sun was really bright and Tucker was flipping out so I gave him the sunglasses and if I hadn't taken them off of him he would still be wearing them--he thought they were great! He cracks me up!

Hope everyone is having a great Fall! :)

What are we going to do with him???

Well, I'm probably going to regret posting this story, but I did say that I would use this blog to chronicle everything that is our family, so...here goes!

Just a little back story, Tucker has been potty-trained for about 3 months but the whole pooping thing can still be difficult for him and when he does make it to the toilet, he doesn't want anyone in the room and he immediatley flushes it so I don't always know what's going on. This is all well and good except for the fact that his attempts to wipe himself don't always work out.

So, let me set the stage here, we had just finished lunch, Gigi was in her exersaucer, and Tucker was jumping around on the leather chair. He jumped up all of the sudden and start pulling at his underwear, when I asked him what was wrong he said, "My butt itching." So I said Tucker, did you poo poo this morning and he told me that he did, so I went to find the baby wipes, and I came back in the room to probably the most disturbing sight that I will ever see between my children....Tucker was standing bare butt in front of Gigi's exersaucer and I said, "Son, what are you doing?" he said, "Gigi itchen my butt mommy!!" It was as if he had just figured out what her whole purpose for invading his life was!! I was horrified and there really aren't words that can describe the look on Gigi's face. I mean I sort of feel like she looks at all of us like she's better than us to begin with but I mean this whole thing just takes the cake. Can you imagine what must have been going through her head? Anyway, I can confirm that no contact was made between Queenie's fingers and Tucker's hiney but it was one of those moments where you go, where did he come from--too funny--kind of! :)

Tucker's First Day of Preschool

Yesterday was Tucker's first day of preschool, he's now in the 3 year old class, and he's going to school 3 mornings a week this year. We're lucky because his teacher's assistant Mrs. Brandy, moved up with the class from the 2's to the 3's, so she's very familiar with Tucker and ALL the things that make him sooooo unique! :) His lead teacher's name is Mrs. Dolly and Tucker refuses to call her Mrs., he just calls her Dolly.

Of course Bryce (Tucker's wanna-be stylist) and I (Tucker's real stylist) had a total debate about what he was going to wear on his 1st day--I know we need to find something else to do!

Gigi is very excited about spending 3 days a week ALONE with Mommy!

I promised Tucker that we would make cupcakes and have a little party if he had a good day, and according to Mrs. Dolly he had a GREAT day!

And, randomly this is what happens on the mornings that Tucker doesn't go to school! Poor Gigi!
