Growing Up So Fast

On Saturday Zoe approached me and said her teeth are getting wobbly. Could it be? She only turned 5 a month ago! I ask which one is wobbly....and of course she points to about 1/4 of her front bottom teeth. But sure enough I found a loose one, right up front. I felt like I just received a smack in the face! I know she's only 5 but when the realization hit me that her "big girl" teeth are going to start coming in....I wasn't anticipating this for at least one more year. And then she starts kidnegarden this fall. I know some of you out there have reached this stage at least once and probably know what I am talking about. One more stepping stone reached I guess. **Sigh**

Snow Day

We all had fun.

Fun With Food Day

In the mornings while I was get ready for work I will make the girls breakfast and spend some time with them. It's about the most time I get with them, Lily particularly, during the week. Zoe will on occasion request purple pancakes or something of the sort. On Friday she asked for purple eggs.....we tried this once and the eggs came out gray, king of unappetizing to the eye. So I encouraged her to do green eggs and purple milk(although you can't tell the milk is purple).



I wasn't so sure how Lily would react to her eggs being green. So silly of me, she didn't even bat an eye, just ate them as usual. It was fun.

Later that night after I got home from work and visited with Zoe for a bit, she said she was hungry again. We looked through the cupboard for a compromise on something "good" for her eat and settled on tomato soup. While dishing up the soup I told Zoe to grab a spoon. She asked if she could use a straw. A straw....for soup? Well it is just tomato soup after all and we did eat green eggs, soooo.......

It was fun with food today!

New Experiences

So Lily discovered how to get her finger stuck in the VCR while I was making dinner one night. I couldn't resist getting the camera first before releasing her.



Shortly after returning to the kitchen, I heard her whining again. Low and behold, she couldn't resist another stab at trying to concur the machine that trapped her finger. But the VCR held steadfast.

Silly Lily :)

Long time no Blog

Well I haven't been here in far too long. With my hours at work and the time it takes to commute by bus I have little time these days. And of course using dialing up these days(which is going to be short lived....will be be no internet soon) is a bit frustrating. Hopfully I can get a couple new posts up soon. Until then.....

New Music?

Many of you know that my mother lives with Frank, the kids and I. She works evenings doing janitorial and watches the girls during the day. The girls, Zoe particularly, get excited when grandma comes home.

One of the nights late last week grandma came home through the back door into the kitchen. She comes up to the child gate separating the kitchen from the living room and greets everyone and Zoe runs up to talk to her. After a couple of minutes Zoe asks grandma if she would like hear her music. I am curious what she is going to do, will she sing or hum or what?

Grandma agrees and we all watch with anticipation as she proceeds to turn a 180......and farts!
Now where on earth did she learn that I asked looking at dad suspiciously. In conclusion, no one has taught her.

She also has a new bedtime excuse....I can't go to bed now because I am a night person, not a morning person.

Halloween

Here are some pix from the Autumn Fest this year. It was fun and the girls had a blast. We did trick or treating on Halloween too. Zoe kept on going while Lily and her friend were just plum tuckered out. I had to carry her her friend on my shoulders on our way back to the cars (poor thing was so tired). But Zoe was still going, although she slowed down about half way back. Zoe had to talk to some of the folks passing out candy and twice she pet their dogs {only her ;) }.

Oh and for those of you out of town who know Bishop Hansen, the last picture is his Hlloween theme this year. Last year was pretty good too. Can't wait to see what he thinks of next year. Might have to come up with one next year....just a little friendly competetion :D Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
