Another Micah Moment

Luke told the kids that he didn't need a stuffed animal to sleep with because he had one big stuffed animal to snuggle with. I, of course, took great offense to this and said to Micah, " just for future reference, don't talk to your wife that way" to which he replied, " I'm looking for a woman to marry. She has to be nice and never married before". I am trying so hard to have this conversation at this point because I am laughing, But I managed to ask if he had anyone in mind. He said, "no, I will have to drive all around the world to find one."

Fun in the Country

We had another warm day in St. Louis. Some friends of our recently purchased some land on a lake so we decided to take a drive and check it out. The kids loved tromping through the leaves and throwing rocks in the water.

Fun for moms

A haircut for Chloe

Chloe loves gum. Chloe's hair- not so much. She woke up last week with gum stuck in the hair below her pigtail above her ear. It really is my fault. She is usually really good about giving me her gum when she is done, but I forgot to ask her for it before nap time. What 2 1/2 year old wouldn't want to take gum to bed?
So... I cut it. Alot of it.
I really don't mind the back. It curls under really well and is cute. The front is another story. I have never cut the front/sides of her hair. She has never really grown any. I could always hide it in pigtails. Not any more.

A Puppy for Abby

Our friend Abby got a puggle. This is about the cutest dog there is. She is 7 weeks and weighs in at 1 1/2 lbs!

Micah was sweet and gentle, but soon informed me (as he was jumping around and flapping his arms) that he needed a big dog to rough house with.

Chloe on the other hand was in heaven. She isn't always the most expressive child, but this face is one of pure joy and delight. Olive (dog) seemed to like Chloe too. She was soon curled up and asleep.

Luke has a HARLEY!

Those of you who know Luke at all know that he loves motorcyles. He finally got his Harley!!
