Toy Corral

I discovered Haley enjoying her toys like this the other day. Kaden has always been our "put everything in a row" boy so I thought he was just doing more of that. The reality of it is he was trying to keep her corralled so she wouldn't crawl under the kitchen table and "feast" on the seemingly endless spilled food (does anyone else have to sweep 15 times a day?!). What a thoughtful big bro! F.Y.I.- it worked for about 2 minutes!

A Little Everyday Conversation

Mom - "Are you my friend?"
Tye- "No."
Mom- "Are you my boy?"
Tye- "No."
Mom- "Are you my son?"
Tye- "No! I'm two!"

Anyone Missing a Real Estate Sign?

To my surprise Rachel, Kaden and Tye came walking into the house with this sign. It isn't ours, but luckily I do know where it belongs! I later found out it had fallen onto the sidewalk. I knew they were too sweet to be vandals!

Hullaba-ZOO

We had a fun time at the zoo yesterday. We invited Grandma Swensen to come with us and enjoyed her company. I don't think I would have been able to keep track of all my kids between potty breaks and slow little legs without her! The kids favorites were the very loud little monkey, the white alligator, the baby giraffe and the "woof"(wolf). The weather was so nice and I won't need to workout for a few days with all those hills I pushed a double stroller up!

Meeting? What meeting?

So, the story goes like this. . . They were about to take baths. Nate and I must have been side-tracked for a minute or two because the next thing we know they are all mostly naked sitting on the kitchen floor having a "meeting" they say. I don't know what kind of meeting they think people go to in their underwear, but I do know of some uncles of theirs (on the Bishop side, of course!) who many, many years ago had "underwear school". It must run in the family!

Yes, the boys have "tats" (as Tye calls them) on their bellies, but that's an entirely different story!

Fish don't like what?

Today my 2 year old informed me that fish don't like chicken. Who knew?
