Just To Clarify

I should probably have titled this "Conversing with a 3 year old." The setting: lunchtime at home. The meal: noodles with butter and cheese. "Mom, I hab a question to ask you." What now? "Why you hab so many noodles on your fork"? "Because I'm a big girl and can eat a lot of noodles in one bite." In Dayton's terms: "You're not a big girl, or a big boy, or a big dog." "You're a big mama." Amen. From Saige's perspective: "skooze me burp" (she says this when she burps or passes gas) My thoughts on it all? How would I survive motherhood without moments of clarity like these?

Family Beach Day Part Two

I'm sure you're not at all wondering about the sudden blogging holiday again...wiping noses, doctors appointments, antibiotics, diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, sleepless nights. Yes we have sick kids again...or should I say "still"? I'm not really sure anymore. We are looking forward to the end of preschool on May 29th. Yes you'll hear frequent complaints then as well because I have no idea how I'm going to occupy a now preschooled busy 3.5 year old, but I'll survive. We all need to rest our immune systems before the baby arrives and preschool starts up again in August. Until then, we have a busy schedule of visitors coming the end of this month, part of next month and then June into July. Lots to look forward to. Here are the remainder of the beach pictures from our visit with family.

I saved the best for last. (Sorry mom) My mother mowing down on a much needed lunch after getting eaten by the waves. Feeling a little exhausted. Sitting on a boogie board...yes, seniors like to boogie board too.
