leftovers

a new family joined our cc community. they have three girls the exact ages as our homegirls. we are all pretty excited.

i was putting imogen's hair up in a ponytail for her hip hop class last night and i noticed it was shorter than normal. hmmm...
i asked her if she cut it and she said no. i took it out and starting combing it. after a third time of asking her, she finally admitted to cutting it and hiding the evidence.
i grabbed a handful of skittles, stuffed them in my pocket and i ate them on the way to hip hop.
consequences will have to happen after.

mailing a package at the post office, i hear my phone buzz with a text. i start looking for it and couldn't find it anywhere. i finally realize i need to take the tape off and open the box and there it was stuffed on the side. 😱 if my giant had not text, my phone would be on its way overseas.
why am i always a mess?

"mommy, you know that sound that happens at night? daddy's ding dong? well, how come i don't hear it right now and why does daddy's ding dong always wake me up?"-mira
{she is of course talking about rob's alarm clock}

lots of outdoor recess play time

 they even found some ice!

 juno's reaction to the ice :)

 mud soup

a week ago we went for journal time at our local coffee shop and then played and walked around downtown

family bike ride last weekend in the beautiful weather

we've been reading about MLK jr. and my heart jumped as i read this "after only an hour, martin knew that they were going to get married one day. and he was right."

my giant and i were engaged on MLK day 12 years ago and this was also exactly how we felt about each other.

our greasy monkey has two friends' vans that he needs to work on plus a car for a missionary family, so he will be busy this weekend, i will be um...trying not to loose my mind, i mean school and play with the homegirls. we just started reading {the secret garden} aloud and they are really into it and have already asked to continue to finish that. and hoping to fix the flat tires on our bikes so we can get out some energy and ride.
happy weekend.
