Mommy’s Little Flower Keeper
Mary, Mary, quite contrary. How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockleshells, and pretty maids in a row! My little pumpkin sneaks outside to help Gaga water plants as much as possible. If it’s touching the ground, she’s going to pour water on it. I need to catch it on video because she narrates as she waters, saying things like, “This guy is thirsty!” or “Oh, you need some water too? OK.” It doesn’t do her any justice to type it out because her voice is so cute at this age!...
Monkeyin’ Around
I love time with my sisters, E loves time with her aunties. 4 days of uninterrupted monkey business produced amazing results…...
Happy Independence Day!
We hope everyone had a fun 4th of July! Perfect weather, family and friends, and backyard games were just a few elements of our holiday. Emerson was outside bouncing and swimming all afternoon and had even more fun once her friend Bremer showed up to play! We grilled, ate a lot of desserts, and finally cuddled up in bed to watch amazing live fireworks (WAY too tired to fight the crowds in Okoboji). I literally wish every day was the 4th of July – always a favorite holiday!...
Toddler Talk
A certain someone missed her nap today. Sleep deprivation makes ‘Toddler Talk’ very interesting… “Mommy! Mommy! It’s emergency! EMERGENCY! A baby turkey is a little baby tiny nice turkey! It was gonna eat my hair all gone! It’s emergency over there in the yard! A tiny turkey is in that tree with a paci!” You don’t say… “These flowers are going to pop out a whole snack of food! These are doing pop out of flowers with blue strawberries! I going to eat ’em all gone!”...
