Just a little morning TV trickery that had Dash cracking up.
He couldn’t believe that he could see so many booty’s all shaking at once!
TV Trickery
Painted Ninja #6
You don’t say!
Bella
We always miss Bella!
Good thing we put FaceTime to good use while she spends her days in Utah.
My kids have actually said that they hope she likes them as much after she has her own baby, as she does now!
Kids — don’t worry.
I have no doubt that she will.
The Twips
Meet the “Twips” AKA the Twins and Pips.
They fight a lot, play a lot, and nap together a lot.
Lately, after I take Dash to school on Tuesdays, I head over for the Twips to play together. About ten minutes after I get there — and the fighting sets in, Britni puts the twins to bed upstairs, and I put Pippi to bed downstairs. And then two older friends talk, eat and hang out together until its time to get the big kids from school.
Have I mentioned that lately, I love my Tuesdays!
Pippi Selfies
You’ve got to love a bunch of these pictures, after you get your phone back from your 2 year old.
Swap Meet Pet
Pippi is in love with this little dog she got from the swap meet!
She just doesn’t love that it needs batteries to work.
—
Dear Pippi,
Any dog you ever have under this roof will need batteries to make them work. I’m sorry…but blame your dad.
Love,
Your Dog-Loving Mama
(Unless Dad gives in, and then I really am not a dog lover.)
Finger(s)
They each have their own style — Pippi goes for the pointer, while Dash goes for the pointer and middle finger — but you can almost always see these two sucking their finger(s).
My mom mentioned that we should try to get Dash out of the habit sometime soon.
But I’ll never try to take away his favorite past time.
Unless he is 18, and heading off to some far away land on his mission.
Then…I might try to talk him out of sucking his fingers.
But until then, have at it my two little lovelies.
Program Practice
Our primary program is next week, so today we had a quick run through.
Scout got the all-important job of sitting with the younger kids to keep them calm, and singing loudly.
He really stepped it up, and was a great example.
So much so…that I had to snap a couple of pictures of the younger brother admiring the older brother.
-
And while I had my camera out — it seemed obvious that I snap a quick picture of my other little darling singing her heart out.
Unfortunately, she was sticking out her tongue instead.
(But just a teeny bit, so she stayed out of trouble.)
Sunday Helpers
This particular Sunday morning was really crazy in our home.
Scout and Navy quickly picked up on that, and came through for me.
Scout came down with Pippi, and showed me that he had gotten her dressed.
He is awesome!
Especially when I told him it was on backwards, and he immediately got her down to switch it around.
And then as I was calling for Navy to come and get her hair done, I found her tying up Dash’s shoes.
She is also awesome.
-
There are days when I want to yell out, “Serenity Now!”.
But those are almost always the days when my kids catch on, and come through in a big way.
Trains Galore!
Navy and Dash spent the morning trying to fill up the entire train table with cars/trains/and anything else that would fill space.
They were very proud of their work — and insisted on a photo.
So why are Scout and Pippi in the photo also?
Scout was there to take back his skateboards he hasn’t played with in months.
And Pippi wanted the pet dog to be part of the festivities.
I told everyone to freeze for the picture — and then the negotiating and getting mad at each other can begin.
