Susie saw me cooking in the kitchen and decided to create her own recipe. The result? A mix of chopped walnuts, sliced strawberries, brown sugar and chocolate chips! Very tasty if she does say so herself!
As soon as Jimmy saw bare spots on the driveway, he had his bicycle out. He’s ready to hit the trails!
Hope your St. Patrick’s Day involved lots of cookies with green sprinkles!
Danny had dragged this stool outside in the hopes that he could use it to climb a tree.
Danny: “It not workin’.”
No one in our family will miss the rapidly-receding snow as much as Jimmy and Danny (even my husband is ready to bid this cold winter goodbye!). These boys are determined to enjoy every last minute of snow on the ground. They even invented a new sport: Big Wheel Sledding! The boys discovered it’s much harder dragging their ride back up than it was going down!
Susie: “My dream is to have a double-white, snow white poodle. But I might lose him in the snow.” Me: “I think he’d bark and you’d find him.” Susie: “Yeah…’cause snow doesn’t bark.” ******* Me, after Becky mentioned how pretty the sun looked in the clouds: “Becky, make sure not to look at the sun. It will hurt your eyes.” Jimmy: “God can look at it. It won’t hurt his eyes.” ******* Me: “Danny, you have to get buckled.” Danny: “Why?” Me: “Because if you don’t, the policeman will give me a ticket.” Danny: “A ticket to a show?” ******** Me, to Danny, who was jumping around in his superhero shoes: “Are you Superman?” Danny: “No, I Danny. Nice to meet you.” ******** Jimmy to Danny: “When I grow up, I’m gonna be a grown-up and we can do sleepovers at other people’s houses.” ******** Overheard over the monitor: Jimmy lets out a blood-curdling scream. Danny: “What’s the matter, Dibby?” (a.k.a Jimmy) Jimmy: “Nothing’s the matter.” Danny: “Why you say AAAAAAAAHHHH?” (he emits a perfect replica of the aforementioned scream) Jimmy: “I was trying to cheer you up, Dan.” I debated whether to post these pictures because they look so strange, but they make me laugh, so I thought they might make you laugh, too! Here’s what happens when the boys get the bright idea to zip up balloons in their footie pajamas! Some things never change, like Becky’s silly self-portrait faces!
Here’s the self-portrait she took of herself almost exactly two years ago: More hair, more teeth – otherwise, she’s my same beautiful goofy girl! Jimmy, holding up his stuck-together cereal: “Look Mom, it’s a dually!”
(For those who may be unaware, as I was a few short years ago, a “dually” is a pickup truck with two wheels on the rear axle. Who knows what he’ll think of next…perhaps he’ll turn his carrot sticks into cement mixers!) |
