Bedtime

Last night when Mom was putting us to bed she said "OK boy and girls, time for B-E-D!" Hannah's face fell as soon as Mom said this. "Oh no!" she said. "Why, Hannah? What does B-E-D spell?" Gabe said. With a gloomy face, Hannah said "Bedtime." All of us then began to giggle and after that Hannah started to grin again.

Sydney's Program

I got to skip lunch to go to Sydney's class singing program. I took lots of pictures, but on most of them, a kids head was in front of her cute little 2nd grade face. I did get a couple of good ones though.

She is looking a little bored in this one.

                                                  I got as close as I dared on this one.

Mrs Frickey, (Sydney and my second grade teacher) took this one. I think that I was laughing at something Sydney said or did. I think that the little girl on the right side was trying to get into the picture.

Mother's Day Gift

I know that this post is a little late....
Here are some picture of the present we gave momma for Mother's Day.

                                            A candy poster. The classic thing to get your mom.

                                 Now that all of you can turn your head and read it, please do so know.

Simple Little Joys

I was feeling especially happy after dad found the killdeer eggs, and so I wanted to do a post on small things that make me fell happy. The killdeer eggs are a new little happy joy, and I also want to recognize the other things that make me grin.

There is a strange story behind this little guy and here it is. One day dad was eating an avocado, and he was about to throw the seed away, and Sydney told him that he couldn't so we planted it. It is getting really big now, so we will plant it outside soon. This plant makes me smile because I know how much Syd, Hannah, and I love it.

These make me grin because I think of those delicious peppers that they will produce. I practically live off of the George garden in the summertime. I can't wait to taste these! : )

 
As long as we are talking about plants, here are the cucumber sprouts. Once again- YUMMY!!!!

Radishes that are almost ripe for the picking. yummy yummy yum!

 The grass is getting green. Oh! I love the soft, sweet, and not to mention green, grass in the summer. Has anyone noticed that  most of the things I am putting as 'happy' are green?

This flower is a truly pretty carnation. I love it, and think that it is SO pretty.

Dandelions. Not the prettiest or most useful thing on the planet, but I am happier to get a small bouquet of dandelions from my little sisters than to get any other type of flower. I think that they are Hannah's favorite flower. I mean, weed.

 Bubbles. Who doesn't love bubbles? They are too fun to NOT enjoy, no matter how old or mature you may be. Or were thought to be, even after people saw you playing with bubbles.

And who also doesn't like to sit down and enjoy a book. Not I. I could read pretty much all day every day.

I am personally a humongo fan of  blankeys. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

This reminds me of Grandma Potter. I love her very much.

Ooh the swing . I absolutely ADORE the swing, I could sit on it for hours.

The fun and ever-entertaining tether ball pole. Three words- fun fun fun.

 Last of all, my beautiful bike. I love, love, love it.
There are my list of absolutely simple and great joys.

Molly's Birthday

 SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Ahhhh.......This is the molly we all love. I was told to take a picture of dad too, so here it is....

 I love taking pictures!

Birds of a Feather

       If walk out onto our porch you see this.......

      When you see this backyard you want to go play, right? So you decide to walk down these..............

         And then you want to swing, pick strawberries,or jump on the trampoline,right? So then you run up this..........

       For a couple of minutes you can't decide, but then you see the strawberries, and the sort of win your heart over.  So, you walk past these.........

    And then you see that there are no more strawberries because your cousins ate all of them, but then something speckled catches you eye. So you carefully step over the strawberries your foot getting dirty in the soft squishy mud. Then you see this.......

     And you think its pretty cool so bend in to get a better look, and you see this.......

You try to take it all in, but you can't help yourself, and you lean in even closer to see this wonderful part of nature.......

You still can't believe that this is in your backyard, so you lean in a titchy bit closer.

Killdeer eggs...pretty amazing. I love every minute of it. And to tell you the truth, I think that killdeer eggs are  a lot prettier than this.........

I'm not trying to diss chickens or anything, but I like killdeer eggs much better.
