I had an urge to make
green eggs and ham one
morning and had the
camera ready...Tyler and
Hailey are awesome-excited,
but Emma was disgusted.
This is how you know kids
have a good life: They have
paper airplane contests in the
front yard instead of turning
on the t.v./gamecube.I couldn't
choose between this picture
and the next because of Tyler's
slightly feminine stance in
both, which I finding very
humorous.
...
THIS probably more than
anything has made me feel old.
The kids used their monthly
allowance to buy a TracFone,
the "pay as you go cell phone".
They are completely out of
minutes now, but the calls
and text's they have made
were hilarious. They would
call me on the way to school,
on the way home, from their
friends houses multiple times,
and to each other in the same
room, asking,"Is Mary Poppins there?". They would be short 10-second
conversations to "save their minutes". I am very wary about them having phones
this young because they can be a negative influence, but I trust that their
lack of money and purchasing power will help curb this until they are older.
We are LOVING scouts.
Tyler is in the middle
watching popcorn pop
(seed theme). I am on
the scouting committee
with my calling and am
such a supporter of all
things scouts.
The tides have turned
and Emma really loves
her Daddy now. (For awhile
she was all mine). Every
morning when he goes to
work she runs to her room,
gets under the curtain
and looks through the
blinds, waiting to see
him drive down the street
and honk for her. (awwwww.)
This is the face I see all day
long. (Excited, waiting for
a fun "mom idea", with
a smudge of unidentifiable
food on the cheek.) I am
constantly trying to find
a "project" for her.
Today I gave her soap
and some dirty dishes.
She loved it.
She spent her "allowance",
(which she really doesn't
get but asks for it every
time she sees something
at the store she wants.
Which now that I think about
it, is every time we are at
the store.....), on paper dolls.
Great 3 year-old activity.
These last two pictures
are with cousin Lucy-bug.
Can you tell she is a super
happy and fun baby? Emma
loves her.
I call this one:
"Blubber in
the Leaves".
