EEEEWwwww!!!!

Last Sunday we were sitting down to dinner and Terry went and got Isaac out of his saucer (known for causing horrible blowouts). He came and sat down at the table and we were preparing for the prayer when I noticed Terry's shirt. All I can say is I am glad it wasn't me. However, I ended up having to change Isaac and bathe him because Terry was tied up getting himself cleaned up.

Ainsley's Birthday

Ainsley had her birthday a few weeks ago. We had a great day celebrating her birth. It started wtih eggs and bacon for breakfast, not anything worth mentioning for lunch, and corn dogs and mac and cheese for dinner. I kept saying, you can have anything for dinner. Are you sure you want corn dogs and mac and cheese? Yep!

We went to Horton Sees a Who and I decided we still have too many little ones to take the whole fam to a movie. Ainsley kept saying she wanted to go home and she and Sam wondered up and down the rows of seats (there was only one other family in the theater). But the kids attention was reengaged during the "We are Here!!!!!" grand finale part.

After we went home for some yummy strawberry shortcake (cream cheese frosting and all).



The present that got the biggest squeal of delight was the chapstick.



Ainsley was pleased with her new huffy bike.

Yard Sale Mania

Yesterday my neighborhood had a yard sale day and boy was it crazy. The streets were plugged with cars and people. It felt very festive and I felt like we needed to sell stuff to be part of it. So the kids sold cookies and pop. It was fun for the kids ( not so fun for me because I was making cookies (due to procrastination) and setting up their little stand and watching Sam because he was in the front where all the cars were and listening to Isaac cry (Terry was sleeping cause he worked the night before)). Anyway, we survived and the kids made a memory and they even made a little bit of money.

One little funny thing happened with the pop. We bought orange Sunkist and I checked the label before we bought it to see if it had caffeine in it. I didn't see it so we bought it and went home. Later when we started selling I looked at a can and there was caffeine in the pop. I told the kids and they got really worried. Abby started announcing to people who were walking by that they didn't want to by the orange pop because it had caffeine. The people were looking at her a little puzzled. Some neighbor kids came over to buy pop who were LDS, and they picked out the orange pop. Abby was trying really hard to talk them out of getting that kind. I told them to check with their parents before they drank it to see if it was all right. Anyway, it was funny.



I think yard sales are an interesting phenomenon. People speed walking everywhere, thinking that the deal of a century is just around the corner. Anyway. . .

Funnies

I don't know if these will sound funny or if they were location funnies, but here are a few funny things Abby and Ainsley have said.

Abby was watching Isaac for me while I was making dinner and she came running to the kitchen saying, "Are you almost done?!!! Isaac is crying off his head.!!!" Just a little backwards with the saying.

Ainsley was sitting on Terry's lap the other day and she looked up at him with sober brown eyes and said so sweetly and sincerely, "You lift my spirit so much." It took us a couple of seconds to figure out she was quoting Giselle on Enchanted. But she said it so sincerely and so out of the blue we thought at first she was saying it for real.

Then yesterday I was feeding Isaac and he has really sharp nails and he keeps pinching my arms and scratchimg me. I said, "Ouch, don't do that!!!" to little Isaac and Ainsley said "Mom don't talk mean to him. He's Jesus' brother." Very true.

Anyway, kids are great.

Isaac

Isaac is growing so much. I can't believe how big he is. I just put him in 12 month old clothes and they fit him great. He is only 5 1/2 months. Sheesh. He has started to sit up and he rolls over some (sounds like a dog) and he loves for people to play with him. He is such a sweet baby with a big sweet smile.










This last picture I thought was kind of funny. But it gives a good view of his two top teeth that are ready to push through.

Preschool Graduation

Today Abby and Ainsley graduated from preschool. Ainsley still has one more year before she goes into kindergarten so she isn't really graduated.




They did a little program of the songs they learned this year. All the kids were so quiet and shy and we could hardly hear them. I know my kids can be a lot louder, but I guess they were overcome with shyness.

I love seeing Abby and Ainsley do things together. I love that they are so close in age (but I didn't love it so much when they were both babies). I know sometimes Abby feels Ainsley encroaching on her territory and gets a little hostile, but for the most part they have so much fun being together. I hope they stay close friends all during their lives.

Garden

We have put in our first garden this year. Terry has been working hard cutting out grass and hauling in dirt to get it ready to plant. We planted everything a few days before we went to Oregon. Unfortunately it froze while we were gone and all the tomato plants are dead. I guess that is when happens in Idaho if you plant before the end of May.
