Mouth Fulla' Fries

Want to see what it looks like to smile with your whole body? Take a look at my little honey. She does it well. Don't mind the mouth full of french fries.

Lemons

The Little Miss hosted her first lemonade stand this weekend. She's been hosting pretend lemonade stands for months using the footrest of our recliner and plastic cups. Ron and I thought it was about time that she experience the real thing. The best part was her advertising. She'd see someone passing by and she'd call out, "Lummmmmmonade!"

She made $17. It's going in her college fund.

I'd say she has The Woo. I wonder who she gets it from?

She makes deliveries!

Goodbye, Old Friends... Hello; New, Quiet, Efficient Friends.

I've needed a new dryer for quite some time. Maybe it's the fact that it takes 90 minutes to dry a small load of whites... or the fact that the lint sometimes catches on fire and scares the living daylights out of me, or the fact that turning it on emulates a helicopter taking off.. anyway, we needed a new dryer.

We had some money set aside to find a good set that would meet our dirty needs and, well, be pretty enough to take up residence in our kitchen where our washer and dryer live. We found the perfect couple and they're settling in just fine and getting used to their new digs.

So, goodbye old friends. ... thanks for gently tumbling my kids' clothes. You took such care of all of the stains... back then it was spit up and blow outs... and now it's grass stains and mud. You treated all soiled cloth equally and without reservation. I'm forever grateful for your service.

The Pink Lady

I can't believe I don't have any pictures to post from last weekend. Well, that's not true. I have 4.. but it's totally unlike me to forget to take pictures. It certainly was a weekend of celebrating. We celebrated new friends, old friends, new babies, another year in the books, and Mother's Day all in one weekend, and I have 4 pictures to show for it... sorry :)

My friend Carrie made my birthday cake this year. It was, perhaps, the b.e.s.t cake I've ever had. It was called the Pink Lady Cake. I like her, that Pink Lady :)

Mama's night out with my mom and sister.

Visit to the Doctor

We took Sadie in for a well baby check at the doctor's office today. Rosie woke up and discovered that both of her babies had ear infections and needed to be checked out as well. I adore our pediatrician and her nursing staff. They totally played along. Dr. Dwinell let "Dr. Rosie" listen to their hearts and check their ears and throats. Rachel, the nurse, prepared a "pokey pokey tray" identical for the one she prepared for Sadie, and the medical staff in the room snapped on their gloves and gave their babies the vaccines that they needed.

Why is everyone having such a good time? This SUCKS!

My shots are pretend too, right?

Poor Sadie. I hate the vaccine part of the office visit.
