Driving Lessons?!
Andy enjoys bonding with A. He does things with his son that he never did with the girls. Like this ... yes, they are in the street! Andy needed to move the car from parked on the side of the street to the driveway. It didn't require a trip up and down the road with the windows down, but it sure looks like lots of fun!

Fun Night!
Andy blessed me and the big girls with a fun night. After dinner, he took C, M and J to browse the aisles at Toys R Us - a BIG love with the girls. I got to stay home and have a relaxing evening with my 2 babies.
I was cleaning up the dishes while A was walking around the house. After pulling out the vacuum cleaner, I found him sitting by E, "reading" to her. I shot a quick picture, then continued with my housework.

After vacuuming I turned around to see this. A put the paper on E's face and was pointing at her smiling. I think he thought he was letting her "read." She's a good sport.

Lizard Hunt
A perfect start for Family Fun Day.
Andy and I are still sound asleep when we hear "SLAP SLAP PITTER PAT SLAP," the sound of six little bare feet racing across the wood floor. Then we heard C frantically say, "Oh no Dad. We need you. Come quick. Come quick. There's a lizard in our bedroom."
Our sleepy response as we roll over, "Well, go catch it." They leave but quickly return with the report that he's climbing up the wall where they can't reach him.

Great. Just what I was hoping to do this morning.
We drag ourselves out of bed to locate and capture a lizard. And of course he would be hiding under the bed which had to be moved to catch him.
Good morning. Ugh.

More talk of heaven
One afternoon we were sitting at the table playing Uno when out of the blue M asked, "Mom, why didn't PawPaw take his chair to heaven? Doesn't he want to sit in his chair in heaven?"
I explained that I bet there were even better chairs in heaven. I reminded her that heaven has the best stuff, and plenty of it. PawPaw was very well taken care of in heaven and had everything he wanted. It is the perfect place.
She got real excited and said, "Oh yeah Mom! I remember. They even have white swirls everywhere! Yep. That's how it is in heaven."
You never know, heaven might be filled with white swirls and squirrels just for my little M.

Icecream and Tookies
I love my little J. She is too precious. Last night after dinner she said, "But Ma, you forgot to give us dessert." I explained to her that we don't get dessert all the time. It's something special. But I could tell by the cute little frown on her face that that answer wasn't cutting it. We needed to talk more about sweet treats, so we had the following conversation.
Me: Well Miss J, if you could eat anything for dessert right now, what would it be?
J: Well Ma, I weely, weely, weeeeely like icecream and tookies.
Me: Icecream and tooties?!
J: No Ma! Icecream and Tookies.
Me: Icecream and tooties?!
J: No Ma (with her finger pointing, touching my chest)! You cofused. It's Tookies!
Me: Oh, icecream and Cookies.
J: Yeah Ma! Das it!
She was quite upset with me for taking so long to understand her. I apologized and asked what I could do to make her feel better. She said, "Never ever ever ever Ever do dat again. And I need a hug." Sweet girl.

TV time!
The girls got to watch a little TV while I paid the bills. I'm not sure why the girls like to stand to watch television. I guess they just want to be as close to the action as possible.
And now they have figured out a way to let A in on the action. Sweet sisters taking care of baby brother. I emerged from the office and found this.

2 month old Woman
Same chair, same outfit, same day, same hour.
Different suck!
She's a true woman already.
She can't make up her mind.

No April Fool's!
We have a snake on the patio! I can't stand snakes! The girls found it while playing outside. Andy's working at the coffeehouse this morning. So we are staying inside until he comes home to take care of this. And yes, once the pictures are posted, you'll see what a wimp I am when it comes to snakes. I'm getting real good at seeing them behind glass, but even a baby on my patio freaks me out!
