The kids getting their morning exercise before eating their breakfast of GREEN EGGS N HAM, which has become a favorite around here!
( Oops! see video at bottom of post)
When the kids have been trapped in the house for too long with only their little mousies for playmates...
things like this happen!!
I had been in the kitchen not 5 min. before and all was well and happy. I was sitting on the couch listening to their happy squeals and Mr. Wise Guy asked if I shouldn't check on them, but I didn't feel like moving from my cozy spot on the couch and they sounded like they were just playing silly stuff together. Apparently the game was "Flip the spoonful of brown sugar and see how far it will fly". Thankfully my brown sugar bin wasn't completely full...
Because when they finished it was completely empty!!!
Now you know why this mommy is so thankful for the warm sunny weather sneaking in on us. I can send the kids out to play and actually get something done.
The garden patch is the spot of choice to dig around in and get DIRTY!
Maybe have a little dirt snack,
And then take turns riding the trike ...
and talking to grandma in the sunshine.
Miss Kate has been busy as ever in the kitchen helping mommy make The Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls! They are SOOO yummy!
And helping Mommy and A. Sus make blackberry jelly with all our frozen blackberries. We now have our pantry well stocked with this tasty treat thanks to a lot of help from A. Sus.
It appears someone has been eating it as well as stirring! ;D
And this little beaver has been busy gettin his head all banged up like boys like to do. I'm thinking he may be needing these teeth before too long if he doesn't start treating his own better than he has been.
He chipped his first front tooth before it was hardly through the gums by falling on his face while still only crawling, and has chopped the little stretch of skin between his gums and upper lip too many times to count since he was about 6 month. But this past month he has fallen and cut his gumline up a bit 3 times and has knocked both front teeth slightly loose. One is a little darker but I'm hoping it will revive and tighten up again. The first one was done on a cement sidewalk, the second time he fell out of the crib and 2 days later mangled it up worse by falling on his big metal tonka truck while pushing it about the yard. He also got a great big knock on his noggin that same morning. It appears we're just getting started with the boy bang-ups! I'm getting kinda used to his mouth dripping blood all over the place and trying to rinse it with cold water to stop the bleeding while he's screaming and squirming, and cleaning all the blood spatters off the sink afterwards, but he caught me off gaurd the other morning when, after pulling his shirt over his head in a hurry had set the cut on his gums to bleeding again I rushed him to the sink and set him on the counter. I flipped the faucet on and sat there a moment waiting for it to get as cold as possible. Kate stood looking on, as close as possible since the blood filling his mouth always seems to facinate her, and suddenly and without warning he SNEEZED!! Kate got the worst of it but I got my fair share! She looked down at her shirt in dismay and then survey the damage done to mine as well. Then she proclaimed my exact thoughts ... "YUCK!" and a swipe of her hand over her face to remove the blood spatters. Tay-O thought it was funny. :) When He's asked to show his OWIE he responds with a proud grin. You can't tell how puffy his lip is while he's grinning so big. The only sign is that you can see his inner lip hanging below his outer lip. I didn't dare take a pic while it was nastily fresh and messy because if I pulled his lip up it would start bleeding again. So here is part of his semi healed owie peeking out from a puffy lip that is hiding the rest of the chopped up mess. (I know you all are dying to see it!) ;D
On that sweet note happy day to ya'all!
Here is the video meant for the top...I don't know how to move it.
They spend many a morning and afternoon on rainy days doing this. What cracks me up is the typical Mr. Tay-O meandering around the loop eating his granola bar while Miss Kate is galloping around in high energy accompanied with music. She pushes the button on the happy bear repeatedly until the song she wants is playing, hence the reason she takes a long time to reappear sometimes...she is resetting her music.
