This afternoon, the kids went on an Easter Egg Hunt in the living room, we hid them and re-hid them so many times! It kept them entertained for quite a long time.
So I have had these paints for over a year and finally relinquished a little bit of control and let Jenna paint. She did really well only wanting to use you guessed it-PINK. I finally convinced her to use a little bit of yellow at the end just for some variation but she enjoyed herself for at least an hour. It was amazing.
On Friday the 13th of this month (appropriate for Zack don't you think?) the big envelope finally arrived! Zack got his mission call to.....Salt Lake City South Mission. He leaves for the Missionary Training Center on April 29. Its only about a month away and waaayyy too soon. But we love you Bud and will miss you terribly!
I was in the kitchen the other night and heard a strange noise. I rounded the corner and realized it was Austin reading to himself. Now I know that every kid does this, but in light of his most recent speech problems I wasn't expecting it. It was mostly garble and jibberish but cute nonetheless.
Sunday, May 23 Me: Who love's ya baby? Austin: Mommy!!! (followed by LOTS of kisses)
Sunday, April 18 Me: Jenna why are you wearing your church shirt still? (It being hours afterwards and white, not wanting her to spill on it) Jenna: Because I wanted to look cute in it!
As I am petting Missy the dog, Austin comes up to get a particular crayon and sniffs Missy: "Missy you smell BAAADDDD. You need a baff (bath).
Austin: Me make you sad Mom Me: Why would you do that? Austin: So me kiss it all better!
Austin wearing a yellow construction hat: "Me Bob mom!"
Jenna eating a sandwich and the bread fell apart: "My sandwich is RUINED!"
Jenna during her nightly prayer: "....and thank you for Jesus, and help him to drive safe!"
Jenna: "This chocolate milk is myskwizit (exquisite)"
Jenna: "You can't be a princess in pants mommy!"
Jenna chasing Austin with a carrot, "Come here little bunny," "Mommy he won't hold still to eat his carrot!" She says this after hearing Daddy call Austin 'little buddy'
Jenna: "Holy Crap! That's a bad word...uh no way dude!
Jenna: "My finger is hungry. It needs something to munch on!"
Jenna: "I found my football Mr. Potato Head. He says hello Jenna, I love my football Mr. Potato Head."
Jenna: Standing in front of the mirror, she tells me "I'm shaped like Rachel."
Jenna: My sucker is all dirty, let's wash it in the pool okay?
