A day in our lives

We usually try to avoid this situation - John and markers - but I couldn't resist a quick picture first. What you can't hear is him saying, "no,no!" while coloring!If you can't reach the faucet in the bathroom (like Katie can't EVEN with the little stool) you can always use the (water) spray bottle. It doesn't show up in the picture, but the entire counter, faucet, wall, mirror and floor were dripping wet. At least she washed her hands like Mommy asked her to do!

Miss Katie bug is on a clean kick. She washed her hands after lunch, then for about 5 minutes she scrubbed her face. Squeaky clean!

These boots (size 13) are not made for walkin'! But they sure make alot of noise and are fun to wear!

This should have been a video. Daddy is teasing John with a piece of cake. It went something like this...
  • Daddy: John, do you want a piece of cake?
  • John: (shaking his head) NO! (as he holds his hand out like above)
  • Daddy: Okay, no cake for you then.
  • John: banged his hand on the highchair, squawking.
  • Daddy: Do you want a piece of cake?
  • John: shakes his head no, holds out his hand.. 'NO!'
  • Daddy: I think you mean yes, can you shake your head yes? (nods yes)
  • John: "No!" (then shakes his head yes) UhHuh! (still holding hand out)
  • Daddy hands John the piece of cake, which he quickly grabs and devours
  • By the way, John's favorite word is NO. It means no and yes. His actions will tell you which one it means. We have too much fun with it, but its cute!

    Our favorite place this week. Sitting on top of the wood stove vent. Of all the kids, Carolyn does it the most. She'll pull up her chair and read, or just plops on it until her hinder gets too hot! Brr... will these -25 days ever end? We want to play outside!

Cute pictures! Can't believe how tall John is getting. They certainly grow up too fast! Funny about sitting on the vent.

Aww, very cute pictures! I love the one of John drawing, I bet he was trying to draw as fast as he could before Mom came and took away the markers =) The cake one is hilarious too =)
