Kids grow up too fast.

Lance has been saying the funniest things lately. It is not that they are so funny as they are grown up. Last night we had hot dogs and macaroni and cheese for dinner, in my attempt to be frugal I put the catsup's bottle that was almost gone on the table so that we could finally use the last of it and be rid of it. Zack goes to put some catsup on his hot dog and of course the bottle is spurting out catsup like it does when it is almost gone and Lance says "Having trouble with your catsup Dad?" It was so funny that I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard. Then this afternoon while I was busy sewing upstairs in the kitchen, he and Claire where downstairs playing. He comes upstairs and tells me he has a problem, (the nature of the problem I am still not sure of, because I was only half listening like we all do at times when we feel that our kids are just talking for no reason.) He asks me if I could come down and help him with his problem. I explained that I was busy, but that in a few minutes I could help him. Of course like it always does minutes past and a good half hour later he comes back upstairs and asks me ever so patiently, "Mom are you to a point that you can come and help me with my problem." Then tonight when Zack got home from work Lance declared, "We are going to a restaurant for dinner daddy." Zack says "Oh really, where are we going." to which Lance replies "I don't know, a good one, one that we have never been to before." When we got to the Noodle Company he declared "not this one, we've been here before." When we explained to him that the reason that we choose this one is because they had macaroni and cheese that he liked he said. "Yeah, I do like their Macaroni and Cheese." Conversations in our house are becoming more adult everyday.

This Just In!!!! She has Finally done it!!

While I was working on the last post Reese finally decided that it was time to move forward. She has been playing around with the idea of crawling since we got back from Idaho. She has managed to get from point A to where ever she wants to, but tonight she finally put one knee in front of the other and crawled forward. Should I be disturbed that her motivation was a pocket knife.

Keeping Myself Happy

I am trying to keep myself busy, because it seems to make the day go by faster and I think that I am happier when I am creating something. I have had these designs in my head for a while. I have not gotten them out yet but here is what I produced yesterday and today. It does help to have such a cute couple of girls to keep my creative juices flowing.
