momma's got a big ol' butt, oh yea

We were at the playground today and I decided to relive a little of my childhood by getting on one of those spring animals. My fun was spoiled when McKenna ran over and told me, "Get off, Mommy. Your butt's too big for that!" (Sigh)

man vs. boy

How do you explain the difference between a man vs. a boy to a 2-year old? McKenna calls every male a 'boy'. It doesn't matter if they are 3 or 83. Sometimes it's a little embarassing. This evening she was watching our neighbor (who is 70+) through the window and asked, "What is that boy doing?" We tried to explain to her that he's a man. "Huh?" We continued by explaining to her that adults are men and that kids are boys. She sat there for a moment before she finally said, "But, I'm not a boy." OK, she's clearly one up on us. We'll tackle that one another day.

Here are just a few pictures from our trip to Minnesota earlier this month (gosh... is that all it was... it seems like AGES ago with all that has happened since we've been back).

reorganizing the drawers

McKenna: "I think I'll arrange the silverware like this!"

mmm... or not

Rhett is over nine months old and still isn't showing signs of his first tooth. At his nine-month check up, the doctor said that we could start giving him solid foods for him to 'gum'. Here's how it went:

an old favorite

We're in the car one day when McKenna informs us that she has a booger. "I need a Kleenex," she states. Give her credit for asking for a Kleenex vs. wiping it on the side of the car seat. She wipes her nose when all of a sudden she exclaims "Uh oh... I lost it!"

"You lost it?" Duke asked.

"Uh huh. Did you find it?" she asked. "Where is my booger?!?" She is clearly worried at this point. She examines the Kleenex, her hands... she looks all around her lap and on the car seat... she tries to see if it's on the floor. "I can't find my booger!!"

After looking for a while, she shrugs, "Oh well, I'll look for it later."

The booger was never found.
