Yoda says...

Me: "Are you in your pj's?"
Yoda: "You love them."
_________

Yoda:"You the strong strong mommy."

While watching America's Funniest Videos and the host was explaining something to the camera:"Is that guy talking to us?!"

A few things that happened in May

 Helmet and no bike, wearing pj's outside, and two different shoes...

 Mimi singing with all her might. 

 Greg took the kiddos to the bakery and had them design my birthday cake, so cute and yum! 

I asked Greg to sing me a song with his guitar for my birthday, it was awesome! 

Mother's day breakfast in bed and pinking shears :)

Summer

I thought the kiddos would enjoy learning how to cook something.  The goal is that they will each cook their choice 5 times this summer. 

 Mimi chose "sandwiches".  I insisted she be more specific, but she couldn't think of anything.  So I offered up grilled cheese, and she was cool with that.  She did a great job!  

 Without hesitation Parker chose spaghetti and meatballs.  He stayed with it, even though it takes a while from start to finish.  It was all very tasty. 

Also without hesitation Yoda picked pizza.  I wasn't sure he had it in him to do real dough with yeast, so we settled on English muffin pizzas.  They were a hit. 

The Baby H Report

My sister had a baby last month and I got the crazy good luck to go spend a week with them!

 

 

Bridging

Mimi's Daisy Troop bridged to Brownies. 

 I borrowed a bridge from a friend and the girls had a blast! 

 Each girl read part of the Girl Scout promise

They each received a fax brownie sash, and matching daisy headbands just for fun.

It's been an awesome year! 

Quotes

Yoda:"The garbage truck LUUUUUVES garbage."
___________

Yoda to Greg (on our way to see a movie):"The movies are going to woud [loud] me.  I gonna get popcorn and soda."
___________

As we sat through 5 minutes of the movie:"IT'S TO WOUD [loud]!  I going home!" and he walked right out!  (I followed him.)

First Day / Last Day 2012-2013

School's out and the summer has begun...

Yoda on his first day...

 And on the last day, running to school because he's so excited!

 After the last day, there was a picnic

and puddles. 

 Mimi on the first day of school

 Parker on the first day...

 

Mimi just after the first day...

 

 Parker just after the first day...

And Mimi and Parker on the last day of school...

I helped out at Mimi's first-grade-last-day-party.  Or at least I tried to help.  Yoda was not very cooperative.  Mimi's teacher retired so I helped to put together a gift basket for him so I really wanted to be there to hand it to him.  Sadly I forgot to take a photo, but it was awesome.  There was a chocolate motorcycle involved...

Parker with a relieved smile, goodbye 4th grade.  I forgot to get a photo of Parker with his teacher... oops! 

And here's a What Mimi wore to church bonus.  Recognize that purse, Sonya? 

Mimi's insistance

Mimi often has an answer to questions that come along, sometimes even her own questions...

Mimi "How far is the moon?"
Mimi:"I think it's to the tip of the earth and then it's a giant away!"
__________

Mimi"Do you know what R.V. stands for?"
Mimi:"Robot Voice"
__________

Parker to Yoda:"I don't want you grow up!"
Mimi:"I don't think his body will say yes to that!"

Rain

As we started walking home, it started to rain, HARD!

Mimi:"This is the worst walking day!"
Me:"But at least it will be memorable."
Mimi:"I am NOT putting this in a scrapbook!"

*later*
we saw birds playing in a big puddle
Mimi:"That's one big pool party!"

Off to sleep

If you squint you can see the little green ears of his favorite bunny sticking out of his blanket...

When Yoda couldn't fall asleep last night I offered him a cup of water
Yoda:"No, I have water in me."
Me:"Do you want some milk?"
Yoda:"No, I just want myself."
 __________

Greg:"I have no understanding why I'm awake right now.".
__________

*One more**Updated, again*

The other night while putting Yoda down we talked about my sister having a baby and how we'll go out to visit them.
Yoda:"I'll give Jill's new baby my bunny.  And they give me the Cars helmet.  Then you can go to the bunny store and buy me a new bunny."

Or here is bunny playing trains with Yoda.  There's no way Yoda would let go of his best friend, but it was nice of him to offer :)

My Mom

This blog was born to send photos and funny stories to my mom.  I'm happy for all my visitors, but today I want to send a special *hello* to my biggest fan!  

Hi Mom! 

I love you!

Rainbows and fixes

Yoda:"Mom, do you like rainbows?"
Me:"Um, yes, I guess so."
Yoda:"You like rainbows, but Mimi, Parker, Daddy and me like trucks."
Me *huh*

__________


Yoda:"Here mommy -- I broke this -- you can fix it -- Mimi said so."
Me *huh*
