Quirky Kids

My kids are a little funny. Okay, a lot funny. For instance: a couple nights ago we had pizza for dinner. Yes, that's all - pizza. As I set my kids at the table with their dinner, M asks: "Can we have green beans too?" ...of course I will never say no to a request like that! So - pizza and green beans. More than that, M ate all her green beans before her pizza, and asked for more...E did the same...and when we were all out of green beans they ate their pizzas.

E needed some new shoes - all he has are sandals and thin cloth ones, or some that have gotten too small. We went to payless, and I discovered he has his own opinions about his shoes. M Let me get whichever ones, the prettier the better - comfort was of little import (as it is with most women.) E, however, turned down three pairs, barely letting me get them strapped on. Two were tennishoes like these, and the other a pair of boots. Finally he settled on these and walked off with them on, completely satisfied. I think the tennishoes were too stiff and hard to walk in compared to all his summer shoes, and barefoot.

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...
