Not much to say.

Well, I haven't been feeling very "writey" lately. Sorry, Mom and Dad. I know you look forward to new posts. I am also having a hard time uploading pics and videos to blogger right now. I do not have tiem or patience to fight with the computer right now. I thought I would at least show you some recent pics of the kiddos. Enjoy!

Yumm-o!

Have you ever seen that show with the guy who eats weird food for a living? He travels around to strange and exotic places and seeks out the weird and usually disgusting specialty foods from the region and then eats them so he can describe to his audience how interesting they taste. *Gag*



I believe that my daughter may be in training to do a show quite similar.
And what would she feature on her show you may ask? Her first show would probably go into detail about all of the delectable finds in the family bathroom. After complaining to her audience that all of the poisonous and hazardous drinks are completely out of her reach she would describe how delicious a raw bar of Dial soap is.
I'm sure she would go into great detail about the bitter/ sweet perfume flavor followed by the bubbly after taste. Next she would sample for our viewing pleasure the stick of Old Spice deodorant. I am pretty sure that she may observe that it has a distinctly manly bite to it. Then she would move on to the toilet paper. This, of course, is something for which she definitely has an appetite. When she has had her fill of recycled tissue. She may move on to the toilet to sample the drinkablity (and spashability) of its contents. At which point I would put an end to her reverie and remove her from one of her favorite places to be!



Ugh! She is into everything- and is quick as a whip! Honestly she did not do all of that in one sitting. But she did do all of that in one week.
She also enjoys the taste of the vacuum cleaner, stale Cheerios from under the heater, the bottoms of shoes - all types, grass,paper, plastic, rocks, dirt... need I go on? People keep telling me to watch out for when she starts walking( which she will be doing a lot of very soon. She took her first steps last Saturday and is trying hard to perfect it.) But I don't know what walking is going to change. She gets into everything already as it is. I think walking may help because she won't be down on the floor all of the time finding nasty bugs or worms to pick up and sample.

Either way, I love her to pieces! She has a very sweet, adventurous, funny personality. She is such a joy to have around! Just so long as you keep the bathroom door shut. :)

On another note we had some sweet snakes in our garage the other day.
They made themselves at home among some giant Pixie Stix that Dan had purchased for his bus route. I don't think I will ever view a Pixie stick the same again.

After cleaning out the garage, Dan found no snakes. I hope they went far away and are not lurking somewhere else close by - like in my basement which has a window that leads to the garage ...
He did however find this.
Caleb thought it was the coolest thing and insisted that I put it on his shelf in his room. Lovely!
