Okay, so last night a skunk was raiding our garbage, but Mickey thought it was a dog and flipped the light on to run out and scare it. . . Skunks don't like to be scared. . . . Luckily Mickey didn't get sprayed or he would have slept outside. Unfortunately, that whole side of our porch (next to our bedroom) did. Blech! To chase it off Mickey threw one of my (yes, MY) nice tennis shoes at it; I haven't retrieved it yet to see/smell the damgage. Not really looking forward to it either. :-) Kareli had a bad (and I mean BAD) poopy diaper not long after that, so we stuck it outside to have a stink war with the skunk. I'm not sure who will win, but I don't think I'll go out there to find out for quite awhile.
Kayin is in Preschool two days a week now and absolutely loves it. He keeps cutting papers up to give to his teacher, saying "here, I made this for you because I love you!" She posted it on the bulletin board and showed me when I got there. I'm really enjoying the quiet time with Kareli, which I haven't really had before, and she loves the extra attention. She doesn't crawl yet, but gets around really well scooting on her bum, always with one leg extended in front and one behind her. She sits up herself if laid down and is getting good at pulling herself up. And we haven't found ANYTHING that she won't eat yet. We've already had to put her in Kayin's bigger convertible car seat. She's growing so fast!
Kayin got in trouble the other day for waking Kareli up while driving to Tri-cities, and said "You ruined my life!" Can you believe I'm already hearing that? Poor kid, only 3 and such a long, ruined life to live still. . . . I'm such a terrible mom! ;-) I have no idea where he heard that phrase; luckily he forgot about it 5 minutes later. Of course.
So I've already discussed with Regina and Denay how annoying moving all the pictures around in here, so hopefully you'll love me still, even though the order of these pictures don't make much sense. :) There's not much point to them anyway, I just wanted to show off my cuties and show how big they're getting!
Bath time is so much more fun with two!
We had a hotdog cookout by the pond here, just for fun. Kayin was REALLY keeping his eyes on his hot dog; we couldn't get him to look at us for more than a split second. :-)
The doctor will see you now!!
I could make some serious money off of his poses; next step, table top dancing!
Chuck learned to jump out of the play pen I made him, so Mickey jokingly suggested getting him a leash. You can't suggest something that fun to me and not expect me to do it! It worked out surprisingly well; Chuck took right to it!
So much better than sitting beside him in a pen.
Everyone up to keep me company! I knew people love me! Luckily Adam got to hang out for a couple days before running off to have fun with the guys in Alaska, but the other guys missed out on a fun couple weeks.
Out at the little fishing hole, having lunch after a long couple hours of fishing
Man we have cute boys! (Again, can Kayin pose or what?)
This is how my little Kareli slept in her bassinett, until we moved her to her crib. She loves having her legs propped up and a blanket on her face.
Such a funny sleeper :-)
Okay, now for those of you who weren't here, this is Kareli's infamous Little Old Man Bellybutton. He's starting to fade now (thank heaven's, for her sake!), but he used to have two little dark spots for his eyes. Hopefully you can still see him. With the first picture if you save it and zoom in on it you can see it really well. We tried with mom's camera when she was here, but I think we had more luck with this set. Mom, if you have a better one send it over! :)
You can make the face talk by moving her tummy - it's really creepy. Startled the heck out of me the first time it popped out! : -)
Love you all! Leave comments so I know you didn't give up on me completely!
