New Fish, New Car, and Fun at Fire Safety Town

Well, our Altima was totaled.  :(  And Rick's rental was only good through yesterday.  Soooo, we were looking at VW Jettas.  However, I called David McDavid Honda yesterday randomly at naptime and turned out they were running a GREAT special on a 2012 Honda Accord Lease.  We broke even on the altima since we only had it for a year, so we had to start from scratch.  Rick really only uses this car to go to and from work and I drive it sometimes at night if I go out somewhere.  But, that is it!  We wanted something reliable, but with an inexpensive monthly payment.  250 per month with just 250 down.  PERFECT!  Rick picked black with black leather.  So we now have two BLACK cars in TEXAS!  ;)  But we both love it and I am so happy he was able to get something he will enjoy driving....as well as be safe.  Forgot to take a pic, but I am sure everyone has seen a honda accord a bajillion times!  ;)

Over the weekend, we took Liam to pick out a new fish.  He picked out a blue betta and named it Blue Fish--how clever, right?  ;)  He he is swimming around in his new home.

Last Friday night, we met the O'Briens at Fire Safety town and then went to dinner at The Londoner.  It was a really fun night.  Especially for the boys...they LOVED driving the jeeps outside and sitting in the fire engine.
Rick and Ronnie DEFINITELY got quite a workout.  Liam and Z did great hitting the pedals, but had no clue how to steer.  It was hilarious and my stomach hurt from laughing as we watched the hubbys chase them all over the place! 

Think he is having fun?  ;)

Rick was SPRINTING!  HA!

Such a fun time!

This week is the last week of summer.  I cannot believe it!  We played at Elizabeth's house yesterday morning after I did some Fall clothes shopping at Kohls.  I finished Liam's shopping at Divine Consign on Sunday (and got Halloween costumes--Rowan is going to be a witch ;) and Liam will be a train conductor.  He is so into "choo-choos" right now and I hope that lasts til Halloween!)  This morning we tried to go to the park with Vicki and Z, but Liam was SUPER grumpy and threw wood chips all over a little girls head and in her eyes.  ;/  So we left.  Tomorrow, we are going to the gym then the splash pad.  Thursday, no plans.  Friday, Kristi and Elizabeth are coming to our pool to swim and have lunch.  THEN, Saturday, we begin a 3 day weekend in the house to do some hardcore potty training...more on that to come.

Have a great week everyone!  :-)
