They got their mother's lips

I was at Macey's today and couldn't resist
these treasures from days of yore.
I thought for sure the kids would get a kick out of them.
Not so much...
The lips were met with "uncontrollable" gagging
and intense dislike.
The funny part is -
I MADE them pose for a pic anyway, because,
Hey - I like those lips and I'm the mom!!
(p.s. Dallin liked them too. He all but ate them.)

Research

At 7:30 in the morning,
this is our version of America's Test Kitchen.
Dallin's Findings:
Yes, they really do snap, crackle and pop!
My Findings:
Those little dry puffs of air are hard
to catch with a vaccuum or a broom.
But, I don't mind.
I wasn't doing anything else this morning.

The Skeleton In My Closet

Autumn is my favorite season.
I love the fresh chill in the air.
It makes me want to snuggle up in a sweater
and slipper socks and read cookbooks all day.
BUT, I only got as far as the slipper socks -
my little skeleton wants full time entertainment.
Oh well, maybe another day.
Happy October Everyone!

Two Little Months

This little guy has sure intensified the busy and tired

extra smiles, and giggles to our family.
Love you Will!

Abbie on 2 wheels

Abbie practiced balancing on her bike a few weeks ago and then spent 30 minutes learning how to stop yesterday. With the promise of a strawberry milkshake, she rode to the end of the "Strawberry Place" cul-de-sac and back - no problem! Then did it again, and again, and again.

And yes, the strawberry milkshake was well worth it.

Boa Constrictor by Shel Silverstein

(Reenactment takes place on the Jordan River Walkway)

Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor,
And I don't like it--one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh, gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle,
It's up to my middle.

Oh, heck,
It's up to my neck.

Oh, dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmffffffffff...
