The scene: Taco is holding a rifle. Reese is dressed up in a fancy pink bridesmaid dress, holding a baby in her arms. Apple, distraught, is walking down the stairs, swinging a stick. Apple: “I’m a nice old lady! I’m a nice old lady!” Reese: “She tried to kill my baby!” Taco: “Why do you…
¿Nachos, anyone?
Tonight was laundry folding night, and if you know me well, you know that I watch movies while I fold laundry. And the kids fold their own laundry. The kids love laundry night because it means a movie on a school night. Yipee! Tonight’s movie was Nacho Libre. Listening to Taco’s laugh during the movie…
Kate’s birthday
We helped cute Kate celebrate her 2nd birthday this afternoon. As soon as we got to Kate’s pool, the little kids lined up on the edge. I tried to rush into the pool to take a picture, but of course, I wasn’t quite fast enough and the kids had already started to move. Dontcha just…
Ketchup
Twizzler has loved ketchup for a LONG time. We have given up telling him, “That’s too much ketchup! You don’t need that much ketchup!” because he REALLY does eat THAT much. He loves it. How many 7 year olds know the benefits of lycopene (or even know what it is)? Yeah, while he’s eating ketchup…
Sprayground, VA
Last week, we bombarded my sister’s house for the day. It was a HOT one, so we took the kids out for a quick stop at Wendy’s (everyone got a Frosty) and then for some cool play at the Sprayground. Everyone (even the older kids) had a good time (although Noodle and Kiwi purposely avoided…
The pool is open!!
It may FEEL warm enough outside to go swimming, but the water is still super cold. The kids don’t seem to care, though, and they have convinced me to take them swimming 3 times since the pool opened Memorial Day weekend. Apple’s favorite thing to do is to take a shower at the pool. He…
The last 24 hours….
Oh, what a day! Yesterday was an memorable day. I had two doctors appointments during school–first with the dermatologist, and then with the podiatrist. The dermatologist put me on another 3 week treatment for my lips (so, ladies, I am not sick–just lipstick-less)….And the podiatrist was INTERESTING. His assistant, Max, was a Golden Retriever! A…
Band, a dance, and Brownies
These videos may not be as cute as some of the baby videos I’ve seen lately….but I had to share some live shots of the kids. The first video is one I caught of Apple dancing to some silly music in the morning. And as an added bonus, you can hear Taco whining! The 2nd…
Who needs a nanny when you have a monkey around?
In case it’s hard to read the scan, Taco wrote:If I had a monkey, I would show it how to climb a tree and how I can climb the pole in my basment and I will show it how I can build and I would play with it and teach it how to build and…
My son, the pufferfish
Is it just me, or do you see the resemblance between Apple and the pufferfish?? Apple’s hair is so spikey, it’s insane. I haven’t felt like cutting it. I guess I’m curious once again whether it will actually lay down once it gets long enough. So far, I’ve never let it get long enough. The…
