It’s rare anymore that all four of these kids do bath time together. But after a long and dirty day, with Micah and I wanting them in bed ASAP, we stuck them all in Micah’s bath. They were stoked, because they love the feature of being able to splash water like crazy with the door closed, without making a mess.
Out of everyone, I think Pippi likes it the best. She loves to be a part of anything the big kids do. Look at her cracking jokes above. She would get all the way under, then come up with bubbles all over her, and say “Ho Ho Ho”. Everyone would die laughing, and then she would repeat.
ON top of perfect spelling tests, Scout has been acing his math tests!
Props buddy boy!
Like siblings, like siblings. Pippi is just like Dash, and will NOT swallow anything she doesn’t like. They are like human Trapper Keepers. The funny things is that neither of them will complain about what is in their mouth. Instead, they will sit there — sometimes for hours — with a mouth full of their food they don’t like. It is actually hilarious.
Today, at sushi, Pippi had a mouth full of soybeans. After a few minutes, I noticed she wasn’t eating her beloved rice, and I immediately knew what was going on. I asked her to open her mouth. And there was the equivalent of about 10 beans all mashed up in there. After spitting them out, she was back at it with the rice.
Dash was spouting off about something this morning — probably how the IPad is a great enhancement to his life.
Navy response included the word “addicted”.
Then he screamed, “I am not addicted!”
Navy then asked, “Dash, do you even know what addicted means?”
He in the most disgusted, exasperated and know-it-all tone said, “Yeah Navy, it means allergic!”
Well, as the mom, I can tell you that Dash had a right to be upset when Navy was calling him “allergic” to the IPad….because the truth is actually the opposite. It’s more like he is…what’s the word? It’s on the tip of my tongue…? Oh yeah!
It’s more like he is … “addicted”!
I can not comprehend how my kids can get so filthy in a 12 hour span?!?!
These are Scout’s hands after school.
And the worst part….he was just about to dig into a snack with those hands!
Micah was sleeping when I left, so I wrote him a little note, which I found later — kindly edited.
What a gem I have!
(IN his defense, when I called him laughing after I read it, he said, “I’m so glad you knew that was a joke!”)
We went to visit the Greats for Family Night tonight.
I think they were pleasantly surprised with our impromptu drop in — although my entire set of in-laws are major planners, so I’m sure the unannounced visit was a little surprising.
My kids were playing puzzles with Great Grandpa, who hasn’t been feeling too hot lately.
And like every kid before, Pippi found the Cheetah to hang with.
And finally, Micah relived his glory days as a sophomore in high school.
After a hot 30 minutes in the Chick Fil-A playground, these two earned themselves a drink.
A singular drink, that they kindly shared.
My favorite ornament this year, comes from the artistic hands of Navy the Great.
Our favorite store, The Red Balloon requested Pippi’s feet to show off these amazing baby shoes.
And clearly, they got it right …because those are the cutest mini feet I’ve ever seen!
