I Big

 

This one is pretty self explanatory. 

 Big Brother is playing a really cool game 

with a really big gun.

I big! 

 I play! 

Collin turn. 

I play!

 If you remember from the previous post

"wants it his way, always"

(This immediately happens when it is not going his way.)

What? 

 Two guns?

Yes!

Mom says "Let mommy help"

But I do it.

 I big!

See.

 I do it. 

I big!

 I do it! 

I do it like Caden! 

See!

 I big!

Mom says,

"almost little man. 

almost."

The Giggle Pile

The straight faces and nice smiles don't last long

Because once one person starts giggling,

the whole pile starts to wobble 

 

and thats even funnier

and with every person laughing 

How could the babies resist 

such a huge pile of happiness

They didn't really get the point of the game

But they knew they wanted to be part of it.

And they laughed alongside the giggle pile

Because like I said

How could they resist.

The mood from a pile of happiness is contageous

Thanksgiving Point

One of the  

best investments we make every year

is a pass to Thanksgiving point

My kids never get tired of the dinosaur museum.

Never

 

They never get tired of 25 cent ice cream cones after either.

The babies have reached the

ripe old age of being able to eat dairy

so they got to have their first cones. 

It may be putting it midly 

to say that they loved it.

If it even looked like I was reaching for the cones 

they would shreak 

and arch

and clamp on with both hands

so that I could not take them away.

Collin made a huge mess

by eating the bottom of the cone first 

so whatever stayed in the top of the cone when upside down

then melted and ran out the bottom when turned right side up.

I don't know if Keegan spilled a drop. 

He ate every last piece of the dang thing.

I took this on the way out.

Cute kid huh?

I am such an observant mom 

that we were there for two hours

and as we were leaving

I noticed this.

Awesome 

What do you do huh?

I chose to laugh and move on

but secretly I was wondering how many people

were thinking 

"how the crap could his mom

let him leave the house that way."

But that quickly left too

and I just laughed again.

and got in the car

You're looking at what?

I posted my last post
with this adorable picture


of this darling baby
by this beautiful tree
and my sister makes this comment.

He is so adorable!
What's with the chair from the 50's?
Don't get me wrong I love pink and yellow flower chairs,
I've just never seen one in your house before ;)
N&C find?

Okay, I guess lets forget the baby in the middle for two seconds
How could you even see the chair in the back?
I had to blow up the picture
to even see the corner of it
that you could barely see
and I know what it looks like.

So to you Rachie Coray
I say this



Are you mocking my chair?
My $5 dollar, darling, garage sale chair?
You better check yourself before you wreck yourself girl...
Kidding, but...
I love it.

It is relatively new to me,
and I am just waiting for the perfect fabric to grab me
before I replace the yellow brown and pink shiny, vinyl
that crinkles and rustles when you sit on it.



It doesn't currently match the front room
but has the cutest shape
and is so comfy I couldn't resist.
$5.
Do I need to repeat myself?
$5

Ryan had a similar reaction
and actually asked
if we had to even bring it through the door
let alone put it in the front room.

but I will have you know,
two people offered me $10
before I could even drag it to my car
and several since
have asked me to call them if I want to sell it
This chair evidently brings out extreme emotions in people
they really love it
or really don't


Mock me if you must
I really love it.
Just imagine those buttons replaced with amazing vintage ones
Any fabric suggestions?
patterns?
Textures?

This teaches me
to focus on the cute baby in the middle
instead of the obscure peek
of the ugly chair in the background

P.S. The amazing honeycomb quilt
on the quilt rack in the background
(in case you are looking in the background like my sister)
is also a $5 garage sale find
Hand pieced
Hand quilted
AMAZING COLORS
Find of the year I am sure
Major Score.

The chair will look lovely beside it when I done with it.

Need a good laugh?

Our family night treat was Popsicles

They had riddles on the sticks.

To be silly I read mine out loud to Ryan



Caden looked confused
and Ryan said he didn't know


what?

Caden still didn't get it
But wanted Ryan to read his


Before I could even guess
Caden yells

What?

Where in the crap did that come from?
Cracked me up.
The real answer was


Kenna had no idea what was going on
but Ryan and I were laughing so hard
from the Greg comment
that she wanted in
so she handed hers to me



Caden thought for a minute and said


I liked his answer
even better than the real one

Which was


Of course Cohen,
who was laughing
just because the rest of us were laughing,
but still didn't get it
handed over his stick


and of course,
with his literal little 6 year old mind
Caden says

That bird was banging on the tree so loud...

Who even thinks the real answer is funny anymore?



It never occurred to me before
that the "real" answers
to the riddles that my kids came up with
could be even funnier
than the play on words answer.

I am so looking forward to the rest of the Popsicle box!
