In honor of Father’s Day, my kids were asked to sing a song. The amount of warning was only a few days…so it was a bit stressful, but they did a fine job. Micah was surprised that he had never even heard the song. Little did he know that they were practicing on the sly with Nonnie…for a whole two days!
Father’s Day Treat
Unwanted Kisses
She can act like she doesn’t want Dash’s kisses all she wants, but with him having the world’s best kissing lips…I highly doubt she is doing anything but playing coy.
Beach Headshots
Charades
It was a morning of charades.
It was one of those games, where the kids do something, you make a million guesses that are never right, and then they come up with some cockamamie answer that you would have never guessed.
You know the game.
For example…
This is NOT a girl kissing her booboo.
This is NOT a supermodel.
This is NOT a girl cracking up.
And this is NOT a boy doing his “cute face”.
-
They were probably “I was a girl running away from a mouse who was bigger than a car, and was trying to feed me pizza!” Or, “I am a boy who is invisible, but am doing a headstand in front of you.”
-
You get the game!
Sissies
I don’t know what I like better.
The sister who is hanging on the other sister’s back, because she adores her.
Or the sister who is letting her little sister hang all over her back, despite a sunburn, because she adores her.
Pips and Gold
I can’t believe that it was Pippi and Goldi playing together today. It is ALWAYS Pippi and Sturdy. Maybe Pippi is trying to get in good with Goldi, so she can marry Sturdy. Or maybe they actually do get along!
I hope it’s the latter.
Guard Breakfast
Just a quick stop off at I Love Bagels for the Junior Guards today.
I love to see this little gang of friends interact…honestly, I think these five are friends for life.
Pippi’s Journal
Pippi loves writing her journal entries. She actually traces them this year, but she loves doing her “homework”.
I love to hear the things she wants to write, (My mom makes me do EVERY job) (She loves Nonnie’s cute eyeballs)and I love to see her excitement when I give her the day’s subject!
Keep writing my cute girl….your enthusiasm is to die for.
Homemade Skis
When I was asked where the hammer was, I got happy. I love my kids when they are creating! And when I saw their fully working homemade skis…I was all for it. They took apart a bench we were throwing away, and made skis out of the bench seat. They connected old tennis shoes to the wood, and they took them to Dr. Thein’s hill. They skied for a few hours…and when I finally called them back in, they begged for another hour!!! I gave them 20 minutes!
Junior Guards ‘18
It’s that time again…Junior Guards 2018!
They are sunblocked up, have their bags filled with seeds, food and water.
And we are on our way…
Lucky for us, we have good buddies with us again this year!!!
Even luckier for us…even more good buddies are joining us!
This is going to be awesome!
It was!!!
It was awesome…and the kids said it might be their best year yet!
I bet it will be.
