Return of the Return of the Jedi shirt

UPDATE
To clarify...

Baby C, Fall 2010

Baby Indiana, Fall 2003

And I believe the shirt will live on and on, it's in such good shape for being 25+ years old.

Happy Halloween

Did you get it? Baby is a werewolf. Awooo!

Another Tornado!

It was actually way south of us, but still the tornado sirens were going off. And it was during school so Indiana got to have a tornado drill for the last little bit of the school day, i.e., sit on the safest wall with their heads down. (Well, it wasn't a drill--what is it called when it's the real thing? I guess 'emergency'?). Anyway, when I picked him up the wind was still whipping around and it was raining hard.

Indiana:"What did you do during the tornado?"
me:"We watched the news"
Indiana:"Did you check on my Lego's?"
__________

Isn't that a hilarious picture!? I was laughing crazy hard when I saw it! "This is not a drill"--HA! Genius!

Fear Factor

We toss Baby in the air a lot. The others kiddos wanted a piece of the action, but they are each in a different stage of fear.
Baby=fearless, Mimi=at times a little afraid, Indiana=totally realizing his mortality.
__________

Indiana:"So today we voted for student council."
Me:"Do you want to do that some day?"
Indiana:"No, I don't want to give up all my recesses!"
__________

Mimi:"The swing is going zig-zag!"
Me:"Do you want me to fix it?"
Indiana:"So that it will be a normal zag?"

Soccer

Mimi:"I'm so excited I could kick all day!"

Mimi being aggressive.

At the end of Mimi's games the parents and other adults form a tunnel and the players all run through it. It was SO cute!

Indiana enjoyed soccer way more then Baseball, I was still a nervous wreck throughout the game.

This day he played goalie and stopped the ball twice. I was impressed.

Stripes

Tiger's mom:"Nice pants"
Mimi:"They are made of stretch. Look!"
Tiger's mom and I *laughing*
Later
Tiger's mom(something like):"I want to see that on the blog"

DoneMimi teaching her friend Tiger how to play chess while wearing her stretch pants.

Apples Again

We went apple picking again on Saturday. I couldn't help myself. It was a beautiful day.

Me, while drinking apple cider:"yum, it has a little kick to it."

Mimi:"yeah, it's making me kick."

Dino

Mimi:"When I watched Dino Squad, it changed my life."

Dill Chicken

Many years ago I babysat for a girl who was about 4 1/2, I'll call her Kay. She said funny things that we still quote to this day. Her funny sayings were one of the reasons I wanted to start this blog and I hoped that my kiddos would provide as much fun as she did. Today's quote is in her honor.

11 years ago, Kay, speaking about her Dill Chicken:"Who put GRASS on my chicken?"

Sunday night, Indiana, speaking about his Dill Potatoes:"This is HOT grass!"
__________

Me:"You are too silly"
Mimi:"I'm NOT silly enough"
__________

Me:"Let's go to Indiana's soccer game. I bet your friend Georgia will be there"
Mimi:"I don't want to go!"
Me*sing-song voice*:"I don't believe you."
Mimi*sing-song voice*:"I believe Georgia won't be there"
