Travel gifts

We used to put a ton of effort into finding the perfect little sursy to bring home to Lola when we took the rare trip away (usually for an interview). Turns out - we were wasting our time.



"Mommy, this is best present ever!"

Boy toys

We dragged the toolbench up from the cellar so Allen would finally have some "boy toys" to play with.




He couldn't have cared less.

Model magic

Picked up some Model Magic for a quiet activity to do during Allen's nap. Can you guess which one is hers?

Out and about

61 degrees out today so we had to take advantage. Headed out to Westmoor Farm to say hi to the animals. An interesting choice given Lola's current fear of all farm animal sounds. We mostly hung out in the flowers.

Takes after her mama

"Lola, we have a free afternoon to play; what would you like to do."

"I think I should practice my homework."

Assigned Seats

Lola: "the next time Gigi and Poppy come to visit - Gigi can sit in the middle seat, and Allen in his car seat, and me in my car seat, and Poppy in the front seat, and Daddy can drive."

Me: "wait a minute - where's my seat?"

Lola: "you can go to Rivi and Papa's house instead"

Me: "oh really? What am I going to do there all by myself?"

Lola: "you can have a conversation without being interrupted."

Hmmm. She makes a good point.

Spelling B

Lola loves to spell. This morning she asks to learn to spell a new word and I suggest we do "Barden".

Me: what letter do you think buh-buh-Barden starts with?

Lola: B-A-R-D-E-N

Me: (dumbstruck)
