I am looking forward to the annual backyard party at the in-laws tomorrow night. This is the tenth and final year. I am just praying for the slight chance of rain to move out so we can enjoy a beautiful night around a mammoth bon-fire.
Here are our top laughs from the past week:
5. Last Sunday we attempted to get a photo of my parents and their grandkids. The key word in that sentence is attempted. My kids were not having it which made my nephew upset too.
They all pretty much looked like this
4. Claire and I were watching Ryan and my dad cut down some dead trees from the perimeter of our yard. Claire loved watching the trees fall down and asked a million questions about the process. At one point she turned to me and said, "Cutting down trees is sssssoooooo dangerous mommy. That's why it's a boy's job." It was adorable, but I had to tell her that girls can learn to cut trees down too ;)
3. The girls love playing on their play set. Lately, they have been in mega competition to see who can climb up and slide down first. Natalie gets so competitive that even her breathing is intensified. Both Ryan and I are quite competitive so I think we are in BIG trouble with these two!
2. Miss Cynthia was encouraging Claire to color inside the lines (she typically won't even try). Claire told Cynthia that she knew how to color in the lines. When Cynthia checked her progress, she discovered a picture with lines drawn all over it. She's a literal girl!
1. Natalie has been learning various body parts, she loves it! She was in the bathtub and pointed to her boob and said "boob". I died laughing which only encouraged the behavior further (and gave me the opportunity for the photo).
Enjoy your weekend and as always, I'm linking up with Melissa from The Mommyhood Chronicles.
You telling girls that girls can cut down trees to is EXACTLY why you are such a rockstar of a mom! Miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace! We miss you too!! Hope to see you soon :)
Deletehope your babies feel better!
ReplyDeleteI love the tree comment! too cute.
oh picture time is always a challange
Breanna is starting to learn body parts too so this what I get to look fwd to ;-)
I would advise starting with nose and ears - I have NO idea why I found it necessary to teach her that part. Oh well - makes for a good laugh :)
DeleteYes! Girls can do anything a boy can do and you go girl for making your girls know that!
ReplyDeleteI am dying for the boob comment :)
Our kids and body parts ;)
DeleteGroup photos with multiple children are always interesting. And least the kids will have something to laugh at when they get older! What is it with kids and not wanting to stay in the lines!?!? Tyler still won't even try, that is when we can get him to actually color something! #1 is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI like that interesting also doubles as impossible. The line thing drives me crazy!! Glad to hear that I'm not alone!
DeleteThat group pictures is adorable! I hope they are feeling better- mine were sick too. Sometimes I think our lives are so similar,lol! Look at her- after you tried to take the picture- it is as if she is saying mom stop it! You are definitely in trouble with #2. Such cute laughs!!
ReplyDeleteBoo for sick kids! Yes our lives are so very similar :) So nice to have someone who can relate!!
DeleteHahaha! Adorable! I love her line drawing -- probably what I would do to. Also we need a whole post dedicated to that bonfire -- after seeing it on IG I am intrigued!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should ask, I just wrote the post! It is quite the party - lots of fun and I'm still paying for it. There is no reason to stay up until 2am!!
