that's what they say

Connor
The OLDEST and ALL KNOWING. You think you know what you're talking about until I tell you, you don't. Because what I hear and say is the facts. 

C: Wow! Look at this mom, I have huge red bumps on my head?? Where did they come from.... oh wait I punched myself that's right! Ha! 

C: Mom it's so weird you know those red bumps behind your ears well mine hurt. 
M: What red bumps? 
C: The ones behind your ears everybody has them. (Feels behind his ears.) 
M: I don't. 
C: WHAT?!? Oh yours must be invisible. 

M: So how was your day? 
C: It was the best day ever at recess we find a huge feather on the rook of the school and we went up to look at it and it was so cool. 
M: Oh wow really! 
"I like it like this. It keeps me refreshed!"
C: Yeah really and it was allowed because all the teachers came with us everyone of them in the whole school even Mr. Brown. 
M: WOW! I thought you'd need a permission slip for something like that. 
C: Yeah but you don't because it's still at the school and not a field trip. 
M: Yeah but that sounds dangerous what if that huge bird came back and ate someone or fell. 
C: Oh yeah that's dangerous but it's fine because the principal says so. 
M: Well sounds like a fun day! Wish I had been there too! 

C: Mom look at this one new Pokémon I got. 
M: Did you trade with someone today? 
C: Umm actually no. My friend has a meg-E-X it's huge it's like this but the whole page and it's so big he can't carry it it's as big as him. 

C: Yeah I'm scared of that balloon too. Sometimes it flies up to my room at night and then comes back down in the morning. 

C: By the way wish Syd luck tomorrow at the dentist! 

M: Guess what you get to do tomorrow? You get to go to the dentist! 
S: Wow do I get toys there
M: Yep, if your really good you pick a prize 
S: I'm really good watch teezzzzzzzzz
C: Yeah but it's not that fun it's like a shark biting your mouth with poking sticks. 
M: What!?! Focus on the good Con it's exciting and fun right! 
C: Oh yeah and it's fun too they spit in your mouth
M: Okay stop! 

C: Quick hide! 
M: From who? 
C: The teenagers. (Taller kids at school.)
M: Why? 
C: Because they make fun of me. 
M: What do they say? 
C: They say (in a deep funny voice) "oh hey look it's Connor the boy with a funny backpack"
M: That's not nice I guess I'll have to have your teacher talk to them. 
C: What, my teacher doesn't even know them! 
M: Well she can tell the principal then and she can come out tomorrow and talk to them. 
C: (With a smirk) Oh fine they didn't, I made it up again.

(TV: I call shotgun...)
C: Shotgun what? What does that mean? 
M: Shotgun means the seat next to the driver. 
C: Oh I would call shotgun every time because I want a shotgun. 

(Eating airheads)
C: Oh Bella just to tell you it says mystery but I know what it is every time... WHITE! It's always white! 

C: Wow my leg just grew a little did you see that! 
(while trying to do a split)

M: Go brush your teeth so you don't have stinky breath. 
C: I love dirty breath. 
M: What? You told me you hated when people have dirty breath at school. 
C: No I just hate Cheeto breath at school. I LOVE DIRTY BREATH! (Breaths in everyone's face...)

Bella  
Mrs Mom. You think your the parent... HA!

(While working on one of her workbooks.)
B: Is this good or is this almost? 

M: Tell me a story. 
B: Once upon a time in a fair off land it didn't have much people. Then a horrible king came and stollened the princess and a man volunteered to save her. So then he was going but there was traps on the way that the mean king set. Then he escaped from the traps and goed a nice way but then there was zombies that attacked and he couldn't do it so he died. Then one million volunteered and they killed the zombies and then they got to the traps and got them and the tower was million hundreds high and they a voided the traps and the. The king came and he went into the pink horrible forest and it was not scary at all. 
M: So wait where's the princess and the volunteers?

Cunningham Falls Hike


This hike was one I remember going on as a kid.




When I was a kid I loved climbing the rocks.


I loved looking WAY up high.


I loved leading the pack through the trail. 


I loved finding hidden treasures. 



I loved watching my Dad carry the babies on his shoulders. 




I loved posing for pictures. 



I loved pointing everything out.



This was the worst part of the hike because the kids
wanted to go climb the rocks like all the other people.
But Shea likes to obey rules so they couldn't.

I loved seeing the falls and touching the water. 
(When we were kids there were no signs saying we couldn't and the only rule we had was not to go too far. And stay near Dad.)

Piper was ready to walk on the way back.



Afterwards when we were kids we would make a fire and sit for a bit while we ate dinner.
Instead we found a place to picnic and it was pretty much a perfect way to end the day.

Just another Sunday... and a pinkie

{this moment}

I got to go to Connor's FIELD DAY!
It was actually pretty nice weather and we were outside all day.
I was assigned to the parachute station which had little to no instructions.
But I got a partner and we made it fun.
I got to see Connor's class right from the start which was hard because I had no idea what I was doing right away and was all alone.
So yes I'm pretty sure his teacher thought I was a dumb blonde all year and this just confirmed it.
Ha it was bad.
But then I got a partner and we got the hang of it and then I took the lead for most of it and we had it down.
The only issue was the MUD.
Which the teachers complained about but we couldn't do anything about?!?

I also got to eat lunch with Connor and then we got to have popsicles on the blacktop together, of course it was very busy and I didn't really get an opportunity to snap pictures except some super cute ones on the blacktop of me and Connor and him and his teacher which got deleted...

But honestly it was a fun day and ironically I always wanted to be a helper in FIELD DAY when I was a kid, and now I finally get to! So yay!

I hope to help every year!

Krispy Kreme Smitten

Grand Opening and we went! And I think we are addicted.
Shea was especially excited because are the donuts he grew up with.

I love this part of Krispy Kreme
watching them get glazed!
Mmmmmmm!





And we may or may not have gotten donuts every day since!

Princess Dr




 
 




Watching these girls play pretend makes me fall in love with Motherhood over and over again, as I reminisce about my imagination filled childhood.

And the fact that Piper is joining in now just like a big girl, makes me melt.

Love, love, love my girls!
