regret

Serious, serious regret. Why didn't we do this 4 years ago! So that we could've enjoyed it...what you do for potential buyers...hopefully this will work!
(thanks to Dionne for going over there and getting me picts!)

Pirates

The "tall ships" were docked at a port near our house yesterday. The kids loved the boats, one of them was 200 years old! Pirate Paul could live on a boat. He loves the water (wa wa) and kept trying to walk the plank. There were real pirates/sailors on the ships. It was cool to talk to them, they were mostly just hippies, really nice people.

some dog

Yesterday we watched Annie for our Sunday movie (although I'm not sure Ms. Hannagan's drunk solo is sabbath worthy). So anyways, today while I was doing dishes the "dumb dog" song was in my head. I started singing, and so did Anna. Anna must think Annie couldn't be so rude as to call the dog dumb, so she sang "some dog, why are you following me". My innocent little girl.

music makers

I got called as the enrichment leader...I guess I needed an excuse to start music makers up here too. My sister and I are trying to get a bunch of info and hopefully printouts on http://musicmakersforkids.blogspot.com . Check it out. And if any of you Kaysville 2nd ward people have docs on your computer - email them to me, and I'll get them up. Paul found a finger puppet in my church bag today, he put it on his finger and then sang, "la, la, la". It was so cute and made me excited for it all again!

Pauly wog

I just uploaded some pictures from our camera and noticed these cute ones of Paul. He is such a fun kid...here's what he's been up to lately:

trying on big people shoes (and actually successfully walking in them)

flexing his muscles

eating Popsicles (sunshine permitting)

pretending to play the Wii with his big bro

and wearing big people shoes again, not sure why he's frowning in the first one...sad!

case sensitive

I found this yesterday after Everett was asking for his password for an online game. I guess he thought when the message, "...your password is case sensitive" came up, he found his answer. (T: means top, or username, and B: means bottom or password.)
