Things about my kids

Evelynn: Mom, don't touch me! I'm Swedish!
Me: Oh really? What does that mean?
Evelynn: It means I'm full of sugar!


Me: Eloise, pull up your pants.
Eloise tugs on back of pants.
Me, 15 minutes later: Eloise, pull up your pants.

.....You get the idea. Everyday, every pair of pants. The girl needs to grow a butt or something.



Me: Michael, say please!
Michael: Uh uh.
Me: Michael, say all done!
Michael: Uh uh.
Me: Michael, say more!
Michael: Uh uh.
Me: Michael, say drink!
Michael: UH UH!!!!
Me: Michael, are you stinky?
Michael: Stinky! Poopy! Yucky! Diaper!
This must be a boy thing.

 Bath time in the BIG tub is a little precarious but always fun. :)

 At this point in the season we had no real snow, but on this day it all day pretty hard. They wanted to get some use out of their winter gear. 

 This was their combine birthday cake. We didn't do parties this year (just family stuff) but they seemed very content with Brick Oven dinner, black light mini golfing and cake. Evelynn wanted chocolate cake and Eloise wanted confetti cake. Or maybe it was the other way around.... I forget.

 Michael has taken an interest in finishing peoples leftovers that they leave on the table. He grabs them off the table and takes them to this spot on the floor, and then finishes them off for me. 

 Eloise playing with her birthday gift that got there a week late because the Amazon order got messed up. She still liked it anyway, and it went great with Evelynn's gift of toy food and Grandma Sue and Papa's gift of a kitchen.

Doug put this together by himself. It was quite the project and took several evenings. Thank goodness for his Lego training.

 Evelynn celebrated her 100 days of school, and so we made these shirts for the girls to commemorate as well. I can only vouch for the pink one having 100 gumballs, the blue one's wearer got bored after about 10 gumballs so I just glued some more on and called it good. :)

 I got this shot on my run on Saturday morning. It was an amazing sunrise, and this hardly does it justice. That's the one awesome thing (maybe only awesome thing) about running early in the morning. You get some amazing views.

Finally snow! The kids and Doug made the first snowman of the year (in February no less!) after church this Sunday. Used up most of the snow in the yard but hey, it's a pretty good snowman.
