Fun in the Park

While all the other adults were watching football (blech!), I took the kids to the park.

 This is all she wants to do.

 "Hurry up Mommy and get up here."

So I did it, and was scared to climb down.  It felt higher than I thought it would.  I sat on the jump off ledge for a while and facebooked until Lydda required me to push her again.

I bravely took the leap and didn't break a single bone.  I have jumping skills.

 I couldn't resist making all of them do it after Hattie climbed on hers.  It is a cool picture.  Only one kid "posed."  Who could it be?

The park wasn't all fun and games.  

Someone was feeling left out.

We then went back to the house to doctor Keagan's leg (biking accident). 

I think overall, we enjoyed it.

The Rock Star

We drove to Texas last weekend to visit my sister.  Keagan's band was having a concert.  

It was just shy of 7 minutes long.  It was worth the drive.  He is a great guitarist, and I love seeing all of them. Lydda held her ears for the full 7 minutes, but didn't let out a single complaint.  Some people may think that it was because she really didn't have time to misbehave, but I think she was thinking of Keagan's feelings and stayed quiet for his performance.  They played "Bad to the Bone" and "Superstitious."  Now everytime Lydda hears "Bad to the Bone" on the movie "Megamind," she hollers, "That's Keagan's song."

No Shave November

Wow, what a big mustache you have?

And the winner is...

Emogene!

The girls' school sold Liberty Cards.  I sold one for each of them, because I insist that we at least participate to help out the school.  If they sold one, they were entered into a drawing to win a scooter and lots of other fun outdoor items.  Emogene's name was drawn for it.  We were in shock.  She was proof that everyone had a chance to win no matter how many they sold.  Now I need to convince her that the scooter is for outdoor use and not a kitchen riding toy.

Trust Me?

One of my children doesn't think I'm the best driver.  Who do you think it is?

The Eyes of Hattie

Well, her eyes aren't terrible and would survive without glasses, but the optometrist wants us to start with them (-.75) to get her used to when she does need them all the time.  She is growing slowly so her eyes are taking longer to get worse.  Good thing!
