Notes were all over the place today.
A few that I will feature:
The note Navy got when she didn’t believe Scout that I told her to get off the computer.
The note Bella got from a darling nephew.
The note “to mom” that I was supposed to get — but Bella got because I have a fair-weathered daughter.
The note that a brother sent to a sister that melted a mom’s heart…”I love you Navy. you make the best sister ever.”
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love all things ridiculous.
Especially on babies.
So when I saw these boots, I took my wallet out before I even saw the hat!
And then I saw the hat — and knew I had hit the jackpot!
The whole get up.
Cha-Ching!
Like my very own Harajuku doll.
I don’t understand how a boy can come home from a day at school so filthy.
It is EVERY SINGLE DAY!
I guess there is no doubt that he plays hard.
A little rough play on the playground led to a really loose tooth.
(This time no girl was involved.)
(It was pretty loose this morning.)
After recess, barely a wiggle took that thing all the way out.
It was cute and exciting until I saw that weird gum.
Good thing his teeny tiny pencil was cute and exciting.
Cute, cause I like all things little.
Exciting, cause I remember doing wasteful and similar things like this when I was little.
I love the full circle.
Navy took Scout to school with me today.
As he was loading up and getting out of the car, Navy said, “Bye Scout, you are the best brother a girl could ever ask for.”
Agreed.
And how stinking sweet.
So sweet, that I took them to Abalone Beach after school.
I can’t get enough of them being sweet together.
Abalone is always like paradise, but never more than when my kids are darling with each other.
It was like a magical dream.
Which turned into a nightmare on the car ride home.
I won’t tell you whoso hand mark that is.
Let’s just say, that hand (and the body that is attached to it) served quite the sentence in time out after such a blissful day.
From the time Dash started stealing things out of the bread drawer until today, Dash has had the same philosophy.
Help yourself.
Whatever he wants, he takes.
Food, Blue IPad, toys from Scout’s secret stash, treats from Nonnie’s purse….you name it, he takes it.
This day, it was Cheesy Ruffles.
Caught in the act!!!
At four months plus a week — Pippi rolled over!
Front to back.
I was SO excited — and she did it four more times to show off.
She is a bit slow for the family (remember Scout rolled over at 4 days), but she is trucking along.
Good for you Pippi girl!
Good for you.
And when she was too tired to perform for more spectators, Bella was pretty sure if the prize was worth it, she would.
So she laid herself down.
And Pippi took the bait!
There aren’t many toys that have lasted and been popular for all three of my oldest. But Rody has. Each kid has gone through a phase where they love riding the Rody. This morning, Dash grabbed him, and bounced his way in to where I was feeding Pippi. It took him about ten minutes as he moved about a centimeter a jump, and when he finally arrived, he exclaimed, “SURPRISE!”
I didn’t even see him coming!
Then he rode all around the room and said, “HELLO” when he was approaching, and “GOODBYE” while on his way.
And when I asked for a ride, he immediately said, “NEVER!”
The only thing better than Rody this morning — was the cutest boy on Earth who was riding him.
When Navy came out of the bath she was spotless.
Just not bubbleless.
My nephew Jake and his littlest sister Chole have the cutest relationship. They are the best of friends, and seem like they always will be.
I have a hunch that Scout and Pippi might just be the same way. Scout is SO darling with Pippi. He protects her, oohs and aahs over her, and stops everything when he sees her to give her a kiss. I kind of die over their little budding relationship.
This is all just one evening when they were hanging out.
I grabbed the camera and started snapping, and had a plethora of shots of them adoring one another.
And when I tried to get in on the action — I got laughed at, and shooed away.
