Every once in a while, my husband gives me a little extra pep in my step.
Love Note
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
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.
Scout’s Eye
Scout took my camera, and went out into the world (or around our house), and used his creative eye to capture magic.
Scout, I love the juxtaposition of this.
And I love that you can see the beauty in these still-color-coordinated shelves.
I love the blurry effect you caught as you were partially dabbing.
I am not sure that I love how you went to forbidden places, like your sister’s piano lesson.
And now I am POSITIVE that I don’t like you in forbidden places — like above the pool in a balancing act with my good camera.
Maybe you should stick to karate chopping all of your siblings, as your great talent.
A New Song
(Scout mid song)
Scout’s really overdone “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” around these parts. So I introduced him to a song that I think might work for his voice, his style of song, and definitely his personal beliefs of himself. And now, we are starting to hear R. Kelly’s “I’m The World’s Greatest”!!!
Navy & NayNay at Disneyland
Unbeknownst to me, NayNay has been calling Navy up for months, and talking about going to Disneyland. Meanwhile, Navy has had a little purse, where she has been saving money and had saved over seven dollars. So when NayNay just came into town, they started plotting.
They approached me with the idea, and I shot it down.
They approached me again with their story, and I shot it down again because she has school and can’t miss it.
Then they approached me a third time, and I shot it down, but told them I would talk with Micah.
When I talked to Micah — knowing he would shoot it down too, he said, “She is only in second grade. Let her go.”
I relented, but still made Navy got to the first few hours of school.
I think at least one little girl in our family, has her dad wrapped around her finger!
I kept getting these picture while they were there, and I have to admit….I was really happy she got to go!
NayNay, you are the funnest cousin ever!
