Part 5 of...I think 5 for now

This is hilarious to me. This is what having kids is all about. You can weld their little minds to do all sorts of cute funny things and you can tell them that something is and they do believe that it is! I love it! This is why I have children. Well, and for holidays and other occasions so I can do stuff like this:
And this:
And let us not forget this:
Anyway...I digress. Here is the video. Again you will have to just pump up the volume, cause it is a stretch. After you watch I will tell you what she said.

I taught her this while we were running errands this morning. I guess the car is a great learning environment for some reason, kinda like the throne is a great place to think. Anyway, anyway, back to it. She started by asking me what a bobcat DOES. And I said well, I know what they say, but I didn't really want to get into the whole predator vs. prey thing, but then I thought about a second longer and came up with "they beat the griz!" Man, pat myself on the back, I taught her a great new thing that will be a hit and just in time for this weekends Bobcat football BBQ!

Part 4 of...

This one is a stretch, but if you can hear her Morgan is spelling her name! We were in the car the other day and she just randomly spit it out and I almost hit the curb and a cow. I was so excited for her to be able to spell her own name, and now we (sort of) have it on video. You have to turn up the speakers really high and listen very closely. Sorry for my arm in the way. I was trying to be subtle and the camera was just sitting on the counter. So don't mind me.

Part 3 of...

Here is a little of the two of them. Skylar, you can tell, is not camera shy and thus Morgan loosened up to it too at this point in the program. Good thing Morgan starts Preschool soon. She will have a song and dance program somewhere other than the tub. Time to get these girls socialized!!!!!! And don't mind Skylar when Morgan does ABC's-she is telling Morgan to, "stop singing!"

Part 2 of ...

Here is Morgan bustin' out a little Bob Marley and "3 Little Birds." I apologize for the black screen but at this point she hadn't quite opened up and was a bit camera shy. Don't you worry you will have much more with audio AND video.

Part 1 of...

I will now start a series of videos of my children singing and doing otherwise cute stuff that cannot be captured on still frame lenses. This is the first one. Morgan singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Please enjoy.

Dearest Crayola,

We had lunch outside the other day after a LOOOOOOOONG morning of painting with the neighbors. Mostly because I wasn't prepared to clean up another mess. You will see why in a moment. Oh, nevermind. You can see now.

Well, the lunch mess is part of it. As you can see PB and honey all over Skylar's face. And let me say this picture doesn't do her skin justice. And that is not a mad face. That is a face full of peanut butter and honey and grapes...lots and lots of grapes. And, by her skin I am not referring to the sun reflecting the real skin tone but I am referring to this:

Paint. Thank you Crayola for making washable paints, because my 20 month old doesn't care that her shorts are Gap brand and that her shirt is Old Navy. Even if they are hand-me-downs they are still nice. But no fear! They are not ruined. As you can see she really doesn't care that her skin is slightly stained. Thank you again Crayola for leaving the lead out...I think...I should check the recalls. Goodbye for now.

Go Bobcats!!

So, while Bryan's mom and Grandmother were here last week we went to the campus bookstore and loaded up on Bobcat gear for everyone. I got a sweatshirt and the girls got sweatshirts, foam cat paws, pom poms and megaphones.Well, I guess it's a really good thing we have a month to figure out what to do with these!
