Too Funny




You Belong in 1952



You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!




I think it was the Cary Grant question...

Maddism

The kids have long been in bed and Jesse and Lisa are downstairs watching the news. Lisa had put Maddi to bed that night and told her that she may not come downstairs for any reason. Jesse decides to get a drink and goes to the kitchen.

Maddi:
pssssttttt!!!!
Jesse looks around but doesn't see anyone.
Maddi:
ppppsssssssttttttt!!!!!
Jesse looks up and sees Maddi peaking her head through the railing on the balcony.
Maddi whispers:
Will you do me a favor and get me some food? But don't tell mom.

Yes that was verbatim.

And who does she think she's kidding? Since when does a 4 year old ask adults to do her a favor?

Andrewism


Just to give you some background, Andrew loves Becky's dog Tootsie or 'Oostie as Andrew says. She has certain commands you say to her when you want her to do something. One is " OFF!" Okay now that, that is out of the way....

Mom changing Andrew into his pj's.
Mom:
Shoes off!
Socks off!
Pants off!
Shirt off!
Andrew: 'Oostie OFF!


Well.......... he got the command right!

Stay-cation

For Labor Day this year we had a "Stay-cation" what with it raining and all. So Maddi and I made Chocolate Chip cookies together, Jesse and Andrew built a fort so they could eat cookies and watch old school Mickey Mouse cartoons. They had a blast. That night we popped popcorn and watched a Disney movie. We had a lot of fun!!

Julia Child everyone

What's better than eating cookies in a fort? nothing...

Dinosaur Museum

During the month of August at Thanksgiving Point, everything was two dollars on Tuesday. So Annie and I decided to pack up the kids and go for it. It was busy, but we had a lot of fun. I didn't get pictures of the picnic we had but here are some pictures!


Although really blurry, I had to get a picture of this. Maddi and Ben held hands the whole time we stood in line.

Yes, this is the best picture I could get! They wouldn't hold still!
Okay, this picture doesn't show it but Andrew DID had a good time! He wanted to get out of the stroller and I kept him in there as long as possible.
I'm not sure if they were supposed to climb, but they did!
We had a great time!
