Random Photo Weekend

Conversations with Charlotte and Caden

Charlotte to Ethan: " You look like an angry horse eating a carrot."

 Charlotte: "One time, on my Queenie date, Grandpa got SO hungry, he had to make his OWN DINNER! His OWN Dinner. He had to make it HIMSELF!"

Caden: " How do people get old?"

Me: "Well, God made us to start out new as babies and then we grow and grow and after we've grown a long time, then we are old."

Caden:" Is Ethan going to be old sometime?"

Me: "Yep and you and Charlotte and Judah will too."

Caden: "That will be funny when we are all old and we all live together with you!"

Me: "Are you going to live with us when you are older?"

Caden: " Maybe. I don't think I want to be married. I just don't like being married."

Charlotte: "I don't know if Im going to get married either. 'Cause I want to do whatever I want to."

Caden: "Well you dont have to get married if you dont want 'cause Im not."

Charlotte: "And I can visit you all the time!"

Caden: "We can live next door!"

Back to Where it All Began

Did you go outside today? It was nice and warm but boy was it windy. At one point in the Aldi parking lot my hair swirled around my face and straight up in the air like it was being sucked into a vacuum cleaner. I'm sure my kids weren't the only ones that pointed and laughed. 

But last week we went to the park on a beautiful day and got cured of some major cabin fever-full moon crazies

And even though we did do a little bit of schoolwork (nature journals) it was still a lot of fun.

I didn't notice at the time that she was trying to keep her skirt up (down?). She's a rough and tumble tomboy but she's a lady too.

This is the same bench I got proposed to on. 9 long, long...long years ago. 

"But where was us?" Caden asked

"Whobody was watching us?"

Oh yes I did. 

Let the record show that Ethan said " MOM! Don't show this to anyone ok?" 

Look its a slide!

SLIDE!!!

It amazes me how much of a multitasker I really am. 

1. Hanging on to baby

2. Taking his picture

3. In focus

BOOM.
