Day before yesterday we took the toddler bed out and passed it on to H. Then yesterday we got a new mattress for W and moved his down to the bottom bunk for Baby. She was so happy about her "bumper bed" but still sobbing tears that we were "bad" for giving her bed to H. Growing up must be rough.

After riding the 4 wheeler to the bus stop, with Baby crying most of the way there, we came home and she said happily, "That was awesome! It was 'tary (scary)!" Yikes. What am in for with her future?!

"Please Charlie, take us neighborhood Les Schwab." Baby talking to a horse, or person?

Conversation with Baby: "You fustwated mama? You tired? I sorry 'weetie, I can't pway wiff you. I very fustwated wiff you." I love that kid. She's so adorable when she says " 'weetie". I guess I must call her sweetie more than I think.

Just some things to jot down... Yesterday I was driving down the road talking to Ty. When I got off the phone Will said; "I can guess who that was. Dad!" I agreed it was and he replied, "Know how I know? Dad doesn't make you laugh. You always talk low [in a low tone, not like talking down to him ;-)] to him." Well it made me stop and think I need to change how our marriage looks to our kids. Ty does make me laugh and makes every day a happy day. Kate, the other night, was playing in her room with an imaginary friend. I asked her the name of her imaginary friend. "Jokie Man" she told me. "Him wears a cowboy hat." What three year old girl comes up with imaginary friends like that?! She makes every day so entertaining!

The gang (Oh-No-No, Manna, and Zatch) helped Tyler move appliances and they made a mess of the kitchen. Baby was very upset and said "you perfectly made a mess with all this stuff. I so frustrated." After a few words from dad she said, "I sorry guys. I cooler now." She makes life so entertaining! In sadder news, she now says "ice tream" instead of "ice imr" for ice cream. I miss those cute little phrases.

Will woke up with a swollen red eyelid, and fearing pink eye, I kept him home. On errand day. Stupid me. It was a long, rough day of running here and there and it took a bit to come up with a "best". But I've actually come up with two. While they were waiting for me at WPBS, Will convinced Baby to get in my seat and buckle her Barney into her seat. They were both laughing so hard at their own antics who could be mad! Then later Tyler and I were in the shop and they decided to come out. I happened to come in when Will was trying helping Kate put a coat on. I love how considerate he is becoming as he grows.
