Diana getting Mad

Saturday, I took on the task of back-to-school shopping for Christina and Brooke. Armed with cash, coffee and a positive outlook, we ventured to Knoxville to shop.

What I didn't plan on was ...DIANA!

She was a stinker the whole time, she has entered the "do as I say" phase and even the tiniest things set her off. She LOVES to scream, but not in a manic kinda way, she has a controlled rage that just cracks me up!

This video took place in the Toys R Us parking lot. I stopped to buy an expansion pack for Dom's GEOTRAX set and Brooke made the mistake of sitting in Dom's seat. (She was only sitting there while I checked something) and Diana freaked out about it. (She calls Dom "DJ" so that is what she is saying...)

Panther Creek Pool

Saturday, after I'd closed the store, we took the kids to the Panter Creek State Park Pool. It was only $18 for the whole family and the kids loved it. (Except for Dom when it was time to go home!) LOL

Ballerina Girl

Diana L-O-V-E-S to Dance. She's always bee-bopping in her carseat and I caught some of her action on film last night. (she was having a good time, until the music stopped!)

 

 

 

Here is a short video of her shakin' her money maker:

Diana is my child. She wanted nothing to do with the Beaked Beasts of the Water....

THE 4th OF JULY

We spent the 4th in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We originally went for a concert in the park, but realized quickly that it was just too hot for Dom, Di and Brooke. It also didn't help that the "kiddie" section was uber lame and they hated the music, so we ended up leaving Christina, Darren and Anthony to listen to the bands, and took the younger kids to Ober Gatlinburg to have some fun.

Here are some pics when we left the house:
