Bug box or potty cup??

Saturday was Charlotte's 2nd birthday party (and yes, Ethan's due date, but no, no ethan yet.). J, Justi, myself, and M had to go to Target before we went to the party to pick up Charlotte's present (yes, I always put stuff off until the last day...) and we picked out some moon sand b/c I figured charlotte would have a blast with it...maybe not so much Jess...anyway, while we were at Target Justi bought M a new bug set (has net, couple of plastic bugs and a cup with a magnifying glass to see bugs in). She did so because her dog ate M's last bug net, and apparently felt guilty.

While we were driving to the lunch, Justi gave M the toy, still wrapped and M started asking what the stuff was:

M: what's that? (pointing to the net)
me: That's a net for catching bugs!
M: Oh! what's that? (pointing to the bugs)
me: Those are bugs.
M: Oh! (excited giggles) and a cup! momma, I potty in the cup!
me: (stunned for half a second) oh, no baby! babies don't potty in cups.
M: oh. Just momma's? for the doctor?
me: yes, that's right. Just for the doctor.

so? I've been taking her to the doctors appointments with me, and each time I have to pee in a cup, and M knows now that sometimes I have to pee in a cup. why not her too??

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
