I wish these two weren’t siblings, so I could one day put this in their wedding video!

White Trash Walk

I texted this picture to Micah, of the walk I took with Britni and Emily.
I wrote “Am I the most white trash” under it.
In my defense, Pippi had pajamas and princess heels on before she had to undress because she was too hot.
When I spoke with Micah, he said he didn’t really understand the text, because that is what our kids always look like.

Innovative Navy

When Dash was sad that he didn’t have his own Pokemon card folder, Navy took it upon herself to solve his problem.  On the right is Scout’s folder.  On the left is Navy’s homemade folder for Dash.  Honestly, Navy is the sweetest and cutest girl on earth.  She is always everyone’s advocate when they feel down and out.  I get a head rub when I’m down.  Pippi gets a playmate when she is down.  Scout gets secret favors, (like food to his room when he is sent there) when he is down.  And in this case, Dash got a new Pokemon folder when he was down.

Love Note

Every once in a while, my husband gives me a little extra pep in my step.

Droopy Dog

Dash and I were cracking up at Pippi today as she was watching “Droopy Dog”.
She was getting so into the cartoon, that she kept yelling, “go go go Droopy Dog….don’t let them get you!”

School Viking

How cute is the little kid who chose this beanie to wear to school, on this cold day.

Car Washers

I almost fell over when Scout told me he wanted to wash my car today.  I grew up washing cars on Saturday, so I was excited he was joining the club.  And when Navy heard his plan, she begged to help.  WOW!  Who knew I had kids who loved work so much.
They spent almost an hour on my car, and they did an awesome job.  Navy did the wheels, and they were sparkling by the time she finished.

By the time they were finishing with my car, it looked so good, people were stopping and commenting.
And I wasn’t surprised at all when they got another customer!

Stamped

When I thought Dash was helping clean the garage, he was actually stamping up his face.
But according to him, he found the stamp in the garage, so he was cleaning.

Dr. Pips

When Pippi is in the car with me to drop off Dash at school, she begs, “Let’s go to Goldi and Sturdy’s house”.  About once a week, I turn my car towards Laguna Beach where the twips spend a few hours playing.  I love that Britni is always game for surprise visitors.  But I will admit, that I’m not totally sure if the twins love our surprise visits.  Those poor kids watch as Pippi takes over all of their toys.  Not because she is being stinky, but because their toys are like a whole new batch of props in her make-believe world.

Colored Pumpkin

img_4966-2016-10-14-at-08-20-07.jpg
Grandma took Dash and Navy to the pumpkin patch yesterday, and Dash picked out a white pumpkin.  He wanted to decorate it last night, but it was too late.  So bright and early, he was up this morning decorating.

Apparently, he heard an idea from NayNay about coloring the pumpkin with crayons, and then blow drying it so it melts down the sides.  So he was coloring away!
He never got to the blow drying part…and can I say that I am kind of glad.
