She Gets It

For Mother's Day, I picked out this card from the kids. Normally, they pick out the card which almost always consists of either a cat or a dog. I just happened to come across this one and thought it was funny. That said, I didn't think they would get the joke.

 This is the inside, including what they wrote.... looks like Amelia got the joke and carried it further at my expense...

Farmers pt.2

The trip to the horse farm was a huge success.  I'm not sure our "volunteer" efforts were of any help to the farm, but the kids had a blast...

Feeding the horses....

Learning about "Big Ben" from the resident expert...

Watching a mama duck with her babies...

Brushing the horses...

Farmers

We had to make a quick carrot run tonight because we are volunteering at horse stables in the morning.  We have no idea what we're doing and we hope it doesn't revolve around scooping anything smelly, but we're looking forward to it....especially Little Iron Man...

It's Not Easy Being Big

Amelia and Everett enjoy a good sibling quarrel. In fact, they have one basically every night at bath time. Last night, after Everett got to have his bath first, Amelia put her feelings to paper...

"Sometimes it is hard to be big. It sometimes makes you feel like the other one is very, very rude! - Your very sad daughter, Amelia" . Yes, that is a picture of her with a sad face and a single tear. 

0 Little Words

Sometimes,  you don't even need 3 little words to let someone (or some dog) know you love them....it may just take a soft couch, a shared blanket, and some early morning snuggles...

Ready!

Is there any better way to show the world you are ready for a party than to continually walk around with a backpack full of toys? I didn't think so....
