Theatrics

#3 hasn't gotten her groove on yet.

So, cute story, I was going through old pictures sorting them into give and throw away piles. Samuel sees a picture of me at 14 (he doesn't know it is me) and says "Hey, Mom, I have this girls eyes". Yes, you do.

Both of my children love watching these video clips, really any video clips that star, them.

In school we are doing spelling tests (spelling B's because they "feel" less structured), reading (everything, but not always with a smile), learning how to use maps and a compass, studying Africa (fantastic!), and Astronomy (kinda freaky i.e.watch "Hyperspace" with Sam Neel...yikes!), and having some success learning to study our bible at bible school. Now, I look at this and it all looks nice as I type it, but truth be told, it is like a three ring circus around here. I have not yet mastered the juggeling act. So you can imagine (and try if you don't get motion sickness, it might be fun)me and spelling, and wild man, and scream queen, in a warm (praise God)small house, while it pours outside. Yes, lovely image.

But, I love it. This is my speed. The thrill of the chase...literaly sometimes, the taste of sweet sucsess (Banana bread, pumpkin pie...). This reminds me, I hate to admit this but for your pleasure I will. I had a mom moment, one of the moments that go down in the books (thanks).
Samuel said to his Dad during a dinner discussion, "I know what Moms favorite thing is, eating"

WHAT???
Thats all folks...

MommaK, Pumpkins, Make-up, and Missing Teeth

This childs idea of "make-up" is very theatrical. I don't mind of course (thank you Jesus!). She asked me to do her make up and in a moment of graciousness I conceded. Had to run out of the bathroom to check on the baby and when I came back (I was only going to do a normal job) she had drawn lines under her eyes. "Oh, I decided being a cat would be fun". So, we turned it into a teaching moment and discussed "Cats".

This is a usual position for these two. It isn't long though before they end up kicking each other or scratching and pulling hair; in fun of course.

Tooth #3 gone, 1 loose...glad to be chewing gum from the teeth brushing (slightly forgetful) tooth fairy.

We look forward to a pumpkin patch trip every year. The children make pies with there father.



Visit with Momma K

We enjoyed Moms visit. As far as sight seeing it was a little disappointing probably. #3 isn't as interested in exploring the world as her older siblings.

Long drive and Ferry ride. Tried to get on the ferry at 6pm and didn't actually make in through the line until 9:30. Apparently, every one returns from over yonder at the same time on Sunday night.

His sister took this picture with her camera.

Playing at a park on the water. I was stuck in the car nursing. Most of my time with mom (out of the house) was spent nursing or some other baby thing people do.

Ahhh!
