Second favorite quote of the day

"Ok, so, like, don't freak out. It's about Fina,,,,, so like.... Um.,. Yea..... Ok daddy.... It's not me, I didn't do anything bad..... Ok so like.... Finas hungry."

- Bella age 3

The only reason to grow peas

Is to sit in the backyard and eat them.

My favorite quote of the day---

"YOU ARE FAILING MATH--on an emotional level." -Daddy

She has an A in math. In fact she's rocking math.

We've all gotten there. A math problem that made you hate all math in the world. But my husband addressed it-- and it was stinking hilarious.

Maybe you had to be there..... Lol

Poor little Fina

Fina has been fussy all day. But tonight it's clear she's not feeling well. While cuddled deep in bed watching "Curious George" she randomly threw up. No warning signs, just opened her mouth and threw up everywhere. While I quickly dodged the mess and ran for towels, Bella sat next to her, eyes wide and said "What is happening?!?!" Poor thing just didn't understand. Why was her sister turning inside out? Lol I explained everything. In which case Bella concluded it was "Gross."

Strawberry habinaro jam verdict:

Complex.

Well that was quick

8 pm I put Fina in her new big girl bed.
8:08 she begged me for her crib.

LOL

"That was fun mom, can you put me back in my bed now?" Lol

Sarafinas first night in a big girl bed

Tonight is Finas first night in a big girl bed. I wonder how many times she will get up, just because she can?
I've been using the words "Stay on the bed", for naps and night times. I wonder if it will be that easy of a transition. "Fina, stay on the bed."

We said prayer, she has her milk, a book and a baby to snuggle.

I'm sure it will be fine. :)

Outdoor time? Nope.

Recently I had a long discussion with my husband regarding the importance of association and the importance of sunshine. In full respects to my husband, I share this picture.

Dear husband, sweet sweet husband, spiders eat lizards. And since they do not live in outer space, I have to share this earth with them. This, causes great concern. Seeing as lizards are kind of gross, and spiders are a make of the devil.

Banana split party

Tonight we celebrated answering at the Kingdom Hall, with banana splits.
Which we shared with wonderful association and good BBQ.

No chicken was harmed in this BBQ.

Jehovah is wonderful.

PARENTAL CONTROL

"Please Reclocate these so little hands do not get ahold of these very important things......"

 

   

You had ONE job..... FAIL. Just Fail.

A face off until the death....

Fina and the vacuum have some issues to work out.....

:D

Home made popsicles

Little cups and a spoon.
In this batch: 7-up, gummy bears and some fruit punch.

Taaaa daaaa.

Homeschooling

Korals hand was busy getting her speech prepared for Early childhood Development and the importance of colors and letters.

Billy was reading and preparing to write an Essay.

The the little ones were busy with art time. Kind of a quiet morning.

Until Fina stuck a green marker in her ear. Then laughter exsploded everywhere.

The importance of parental control

Randomly sitting on my kitchen table, the garage remote, Korals iPod and a knife.

Um...... Lets start with moving it......

Baby safety people!

Taco soup

Chicken broth that has been slow cooked with those large dehydrated peppers from the Mexican market.
Then shredded chicken from the BBQ. In this case, left overs.
Then add fresh tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, red onion, green onion, shredded cheese, sour cream and avocado.

Pretty much amazing.

And seriously filling!

Saturday service

I forgot to post Saturdays service.
I was preoccupied with many thoughts of social gatherings. However, It was lovely.

I worked with my husband and Fina. And Koral worked with Bella. And we all switched off according to Bella's taste.

Billy iv worked with Jordan and was able to talk to one person for a good long while. The gentleman even got his bible out. Very cool stuff.

Daddy and daughter

Dancing in the kitchen.

"Dance with me daddy!" Said an excited 3 year old. "Absolutely" said daddy. And before she knew what hit her, they were spinning across the kitchen floor and being dipped at each opportunity.
