Grandma picked the girls up from school and they were talking in the car...

Grandma: What did you learn today in class?
T (age 5): I don't know. They didn't tell me.
___________________________________________

Daddy and the kids were having a discussion about their nationality...

T: What planet am I from?

(Daddy and K giggle)

Dad: T, you are so cute. We are all from planet Earth. I think you meant, "What country am I from?"

About a minute later T announced...

If I were a planet, I'd be Pluto!

Daddy has introduced the kids to computer games. They all play Karate King together. D (age 2) has taken quite a liking to the main character in the game, BIG BOSS.

D (age 2) stood on a chair and jumped into the room announcing, "Here comes Big Boss!"

D also likes to kick Daddy's leg and say, "I'm Big Boss".

Daddy often has C (4 months) on the floor in D's room while he is putting D to bed. As he turns off the light and heads for the door, D will remind him, "Make sure you take C with you."

Out of curiosity, Daddy took his time one night and D kept saying it over and over.

Make sure you take C with you. Make sure you take C with you. Make sure you take C with you.

It is said in a combination tone of..."don't forget C" and "please don't leave that baby in here"

Playing with Portraits: Capturing personality

K, age 7...




T, age 5...




D, age 2...




And yes, I do have another child. But he was sleeping upstairs...

So now, my photography friends...I need advice on a flash and a lens. Is there a flash you recommend that will work on my Canon EOS XS? What about an everyday lens with a decent amount of zoom? 18-250? 18-200 enough? What should I look out for?

T (age 5): Can I have some sense?

Till he realized that it was "cents", he laughed quite a bit...

D's (age 2) word: Flotball
Real Word: Football

The car was in our driveway and I was strapping D into his carseat. He exclaimed, "Wow! Look at that cool flag!".

It was the neighbor's American flag.

Our Halloween Fun

Wondering what the kids were for Halloween?

Well K (age 7) drew a picture:


Just in case you couldn't figure it out...

First we have our homemade Jellyfish. Yes, mommy is proud of this little project! We saw it on the cover of Family Fun magazine and K loved it immediately!


Then we have our little Tinkerbell. Five year old T was set on being Tinkerbell! Thank goodness we were able to hunt down an outfit from a good friend!


D, our 2 year old, was content to go as himself. He had no desire to wear the policeman outfit or the lion. (K drew him in his policeman outfit...wishful thinking on our part)

He screamed in his outfit last year for the one minute we made him wear it. So this year, we didn't even try.

It was his first experience getting candy and boy did he think that getting candy from neighbors was the coolest idea ever!!!


And finally, my little pumpkin...



Hope you had a fun one!

Wordless Wednesday: A little bit o' sugar. A little bit o' spice.

Tiny Talk Tuesday

So I FINALLY have a fall TTT picture with FOUR sets of feet!!! Thanks to Jolanthe there is also a lovely new button in the sidebar with the code you can use! Feel free to grab the code to create a button for your sidebar or you can use the graphic on your TTT post.

YAAAAY Jolanthe! (And if you happen to homeschool, check out her homeschool blog. It oozes creative ideas!)

And you might have noticed the entire new look of my blog. Apparently Jolanthe feels sorry for me loves me dearly because she gave me an entire blog makeover after finding that awesome antique clock graphic!

Of course, the clock now shows the exact time my children are waking me up due to the lovely "fall back" daylight savings fiasco.

*sigh...but I digress. At least I have a lovely blog to look at if I want to log on at 6:45 AM...in the meantime, it is time for some Tiny Talk!

I wish I had a picture...

K (age 7) was wearing pink leggings with thin navy blue, green and white stripes and a light blue long sleeve shirt. She was wearing a pink and red short sleeve tunic type top over the blue shirt. Then she had a bright blue puffy vest on over it all. In her hair was a flower cloth headband.

She walked into the bathroom while I was blow drying my hair, struck a pose in the doorway with a huge grin and asked, "How old do I look?"

I won't give you the gory details of the reason my child lost her mind on Sunday. But my five year old, adorable, sweet, T pitched a fit like none I have seen from her in the last year. Apparently she wanted more time to finish a card in Sunday School and finishing later wasn't acceptable. (and she was tired and her asthma was bugging her...) So in hysterics we had to remove her from the room and immediately realized she had to go home. Nothing was going to calm her.

Up the stairs we all went... Eric was holding T (age 5) who was screaming like crazy and kicking her feet. I was holding C (age 4 months) and herding the meandering two year old, D, in front of me. K (age 7) was walking with us up the stairs and was upset about her sister being so upset.

Oh we were a sight to behold. But then it gets better because T began yelling, "BUT I WANT TO GO TO CHURCH, DADDY! LET ME GO TO CHURCH." All the while letting out ear-piercing screams of terror and kicking and flailing...

Yes. We are the parents who forced our child out of the church while she was begging for more...
