A Fly In The Window

So squid and kayzer came in the front room where the window was open. There sat a fly trying to find a way out through the screened window. k is not afraid of bugs and tries to touch everything one he sees so they stood playing with this fly until they killed it, yes I know. . . Nasty!! I couldn't help but watch as k giggled his little heart out trying to catch it. After the homicide squid picked it up and put it in the trash. . . sick and wrong. Who's daughter is she?
Then they came back for more, but only dead insects still remained (yah, yah, spring cleaning has yet to be done.) Now K has moved on to search other corners of the house for moving objects. Who needs pest control? ha ha.

Its gonna be a girl!!!!

Tara found out she will be having a girl today!! It will be so fun for Adrie to have a little sister. I love two of the same gender next to each other. So much fun.

Blankie, oh Blankie, where art thou?

So I was reading Rochie's blog about her daughters torn blankie, and when it wouldn't let me comment because I was apparently typing in the wrong password I thought I would comment here about how brilliant she was in mending the torn blankie.
My kids are all blankie kids. Each has his own. My eldest attached himself to a blanket my sister Jess made, and I was happy because I was partial to it myself. My second, however, attached himself to a fleece blankie with Hawaiian pineapples on it. I have learned to love it. I am actually glad he chose that because it was a special one his aunt Becky had made for him. So the personal effect overrides my feelings for fleece. H is also my thumb sucker, and only chooses to suck his thumb if the pineapple fleece is visible somewhere in the room or he is touching it. . . this is actually quite humorous and I have a secret wish that when the blankie disappears then so will the thumb sucking. Squid has also attached herself to a blankie that Matt's grandma made for H. So I find it very sweet. Our little M has attached himself just recently to one I made for H when he was the baby. The youngest two only decided to be attached around 18 months to 2 years old, so I have decided they were modeling their older siblings. I think it was a learned behavior to some extent. That is strictly my opinion. This may be the most long winded entry ever. Can you tell Matt is on a business trip??? hmmmm.

What the Squirrel?

Is this a crazy squirrel to be perched on the play set or what. who needs a dog or cat? The thing is huge.

david letterman

so matt is off to newyork to make a delivery for work to the David Letterman show. I so wish I was going. . . one of these days. I don't think he will be on the show, but you never know. It is kinda fun to do out of the ordinary things for work, eh. Things are good and busy here for me, so I am cutting it short today. later.

My first door is Complete!

So my pantry door is painted it just needs some touch up on the trim. I am very happy to have accomplished this. I know it seems silly, but I only have the rest of the downstairs to go and the upstairs will have to wait. It is unbelievably difficult to do projects with small children so we are slow but will keep going. Matt put the door in and I am doing the trim work and paint so we are working together. I still need to decide what baseboard I want, everything takes time.
