As Greg got his new bike out of the minivan
Indiana:"I hope it looks like a Monster Truck"
Mimi:"I hope it looks like a Unicorn"

Graduation

Neighbor:"I know who's going to be mowing your lawn in the future!"

We were inspired by our friend's blog to protect our baby's ears. (scroll down for photo)

He loves the backpack even more then the front pack, and often falls asleep.

Girl's Night

We watched Sleeping Beauty, ate whoopie pies and watermelon.

Mimi:"The Prince is going to COLLEGE!"
Me (thinking): what a progressive fairy tale she must have heard somewhere! What fairy tale is she talking about?
Mimi:"See? The Prince is going to college"
She said this as the Prince went to the cottage. Bummer.
The crown was her idea

Mimi:"Well, I love it in my heart"

World Cup

Indiana:"Is he like the life guard of the Soccer Game? "

strawberry jam

First- pick the berries, preferably in the pouring rain, and possibly with thunder and lightning in the distance.
Second- fall asleep on the way home, or at least pretend, as Indiana is doing here.
Next- crush the berries, wear your shirt on backwards for luck, as Mimi is doing here.
Don't forget to wash your hands.
Indiana:"Dad, what's wrong with your hands?! Are you bleeding?"
Mimi:"hmmm" *lick*
Greg:"Hey, don't lick my hands!"

Last-IF you have any energy left, go ahead and can some strawberry jam. Otherwise freeze them all in your GIGANTIC empty freezer in the basement.

Marketing

I saw these kits to grow watermelons and pumpkins from seed. I'm terrible at growing things from seed. But these things were so cute, I went for it. They totally got me. And it totally didn't grow.

Fan redo

It's been a while since I've blogged about the house. Since we have been busy doing little things, and not really focusing on one single room, I really haven't seen the point. But this weekend I decided that I wanted to do something about this ceiling fan.

This room is so big and empty and it connects to most of the downstairs, so that fan has been an eye-sore.

The fan before

AFTER!

I totally put off changing this fan because I thought we would have to spend $120+ on a new fan. But then my brilliant friend Tamera showed me how she spray painted some door hinges and that got me thinking. I could probably just spray paint our ugly fan and add a new light fixture!

One project completed!

You may notice that the walls are a shade of my favorite blue, that project is NOT yet complete.

Symmetry

Indiana, while eating ice cream:"I colds down my beaver teeth"

Showing off his now symmetrical smile.

Real words:
"It's a Jolly-Holiday with you, Bert"

"It's a Jolly-Holiday with Hubert"

Picking a fight

Indiana:"I want them!"
Mimi:"No, I want them!"
Indiana:"You can't have them all!"
Me:"Don't worry, here are some more peas"
