Fairy Village

There's a fairy village in my boxwood <3 p="">

First Day of Homeschool Co-op

Baby Evlyn: 15 months

Fudgesicle aftermath! Definitely something to file under: things babies should do naked and outside.

 At 15 months, Evlyn is started to stretch her chubby little legs. She's spending less and less time in the baby carrier and more time RUNNING. FAST. She wants to try everything. The stairs, the slides, climbing in tight spots, getting out of them by herself. The playground is a little less peaceful this month for Mama ;)

As always, she brings laughter and joy...and mischief...but, it's hard to be irritated when she wakes me up at 3:30 in the morning yelling, "bee do, bee do, bee do". (The big kids taught her a great minion impression).

Me: Jonah! It's time to go to bed!
Jonah: I can't hear you! I'm in the future!

my laugh for the day...

Gracie: Mama, when I'na teenager, can I go on dates?
Me: Mmm, we'll have to talk to Daddy about that. I think it depends on the boy you choose. He should be kind, and good. We'll have to have Jonah spy on him before we decide.
Jonah: HO-HOHHHH! That's gonna be AWESOME!!! Um, I'm gonna need a grappling hook.

I have a whole new respect for my 8 year old after playing Minecraft in survival mode with him. In less than 1 hour he tamed a wolf, had a thriving wheat crop, penned up cows, pigs, and chickens for bartering purposes, and built a mansion on a hill overlooking the water. Not to mention saving my rear a dozen times. The kid's got skills!

my 8 year old freely admits he has selective hearing (in his own special way, our course): "sometimes I have a hard time wanting to remember things you say that I don't want to hear".
