home, sweet home

We've been in our house for four months now and finally got sod this week. Wahoo!! What a transformation. It finally feels like home.

is it nap time yet?

We've all seen similar videos on shows like 'America's Funniest Videos', but they just never get old.

time out

Sometimes, it's painfully enlightening to watch you kids mimic your actions. Poor Bear got put in time out... facing the corner...for like 20 minutes (that last part has never happened. I promise!!) I'm glad to say that these days are over... for Bear AND for McKenna.

tidbits

Sara is right. This blog should be titled something like 'A Few Things About the Hutches Every Once in a Blue Moon'. I've taken step one - I made a list of things from the past six months that I would like to post. Now let's see if I can follow through. For now, here are some pictures taken since Rhett's birthday.

McKenna was helping me put laundry away last night. She picked up a pair of Duke's underpants and asked me if they were mine. I said "No, those are Daddy's." She held them up, arms stretched out and said "WOW! Those are BIG underpants."

Hee hee. I'm glad she wasn't commenting on how big my butt is this time.

dinner time

This isn't near as funny without hearing the tone in McKenna's voice, but I just had to share:

McKenna always sits next to Duke at the dinner table, but the other night she announced that she was going to sit in a different chair.

Duke: "You don't want to sit by me?"
McKenna: "No."
Duke: "Why not?"
McKenna: "I don't know. (long pause, then VERY matter-of-factly) I guess I just don't want to sit by you."

words i'm not supposed to say

McKenna: "Mom, I'm not supposed to say 'shoot'"
Me: "You can say 'shoot'. It's the other word you can't say.
McKenna: "Oh. I can't say 'shit'"
Me: "That's right, McKenna. Don't say that word."
Pause
McKenna: "Mom, I'm not supposed to say 'shit'"
Me: "That's right, DON'T say that word."
McKenna: "Mom, Im not supposed to say..."
Me: "McKenna, DON'T say that word."
McKenna: "Mom..."
Me: "DON'T say it."
McKenna: "Mom..."
Me: "DONT'T SAY IT!"
McKenna: "What?!? All I'm saying is 'Mom'"
