Joint Party

For the girls friend party we just went to the farm we always go to.

They got to feed the baby goats

Pet the ponies

the bunnies

Sneaking off behind the shed for a little one on one

Big Helper

My sweet Honey helped feed her brother.

(please don't judge her hair. It was the day before it was braided)

and gave him his bottle


Goodness gracious, I love her

Raisin Bread picker

The weather here has been crappy to say the least. I always thought I could live on the north west coast, but it has now been determined, I can't. So when it's nice enough to go outside we go to the porch. I can't wait until our swingset is built (which may never be completed) and I can open up the back door and just let them run. Right now, our dogs only utilize the beautiful fenced in back. There needs to be some deweeding, depooping, and scheduled grass cutting.

In the mean time we hang out in the front. It's not too bad







Picking the raisins out one by one

I will be so excited for the day when they both acknowledge me when I ask them to look as I take their picture.

Man oh man, do I love these girls

This little Pumpkin loves two different shoes often placed on the wrong foot.

Sick

My sweet Pumpkin has been sick. I mean, SICK sick. I think she is starting to come around, but still has a fever. My sweet baby. She hasn't had an appetite lately, but it's starting to come back. She hasn't been eating anything but bananas and traderj oes O's. Well, she was eating some O's and I was eating some cereal. She asked for a bite. I gave it to her. Then my bowl was gone. She went over, grabbed her O's, and put it in the remaining milk. She cracks me up.
Later in the day. I went into the kitchen and ate a cracker. I go back in the living room and she says, "Kra...kra" I didn't know what she wanted. She asked to be picked up. I obliged. Then she pointed to my mouth stuck out her tongue and said, "kra kra". What a smarty. I love that little stinker and I pray she starts feeling better soon.


(notice the missing cushions. We must have washed them 20+ times during this sickness)
She has been very obsessed with Jessie lately. She carries her around everywhere. And due to the sickness this Jessie had to be retired. Thankfully Mimi bought her a new, and improved, one.

trans racial adoption

Today on NPR there was a small segment on transracial adoption

I wish that it was longer and had more callers. I loved hearing everyone talk about their experience with it.

i have the Peter Pan complex

for my kids. This morning when I got the girls out of bed, Pumpkin runs over to the toilet and doesn't even look for her little training potty. She climbs up on the big one and I think to myself. How did this happen so fast? How is she so big? Where did the time go? Then, she falls in. I started laughing so hard. I debated whether or not I should run and get the camera. But she was crying, so I didn't. Thankfully for her, we only use Sev*nth Gen*ration toilet bowl cleaner. And it was just cleaned the day before.

My big girl

Someone had a birthday!

First, we met with family to celebrate Honey's birthday.

Look at my big girls. I am so sad. Can someone please freeze them in time?


Then we had just our family birthday party

Holy Icing


Next, we will have a small friends joint party for Honey and Pumpkin. Since their birthdays are only a month apart.
