love
when she is not trying to pick him up or roll him over, raegan really loves jack... aka: lover shnuckums/lover baby/jackabees/jackman... all nicknames raegan calls him on a daily basis.
i love bugs... and all things creepy crawly
ok, so grace is my outdoor girl. she loves bugs and animals and apparently, toads too. here are few bug stories for your enjoyment...
we found this toad in our driveway in missouri after my mom's birthday party. grace was so excited... can't you tell... and did not want to let it go! she loves frogs! well, this one peed on her, so she promptly dropped it, only to snatch it back up again and not let go. we have to tell her that the frogs/bugs/worms have to go back to their homes so that they can be with their family. that's the only way she will give them up. while in missouri, papa found several tree frogs and toads for her to play with for a few minutes. she was loving it!
a couple of days before the toad in the driveway, the girls were outside riding their bikes and playing. we had the garage door open, and inside the garage was a little june bug. grace found it and asked if she could hold it. i told her that this was a nice bug and she could. enter child #2 who hates all things creepy crawly. as grace is bending down to pick it up, raegan runs into the garage and steps on it. while raegan proudly announced, 'i killed it!', grace started to cry.
and finally, yesterday i spent the morning mowing the grass (which was about 10 feet long thanks to massive amounts of rain while we were in missouri) and spraying ant hills that popped up in our back yard. i told grace and raegan to stay away from the piles of dirt while they were playing in the back. well, after a snack of mini chocolate muffins, raegan comes running into the house crying, 'get it off, get it off.' she runs to see me and says as she is crying, 'i have an ant on me, it's going to eat me.' upon further investigation, i realize that it is not an ant, but a chocolate muffin crumb stuck to her hand... so, i tell her, 'it's not an ant, it's your muffin!' so she eats it. nice.

missouri fun
while bryan was in honduras for 2 weeks, the girls and i took a trip up to missouri. yes, i drove all by myself with 3 kids for 9 hours. a nightmare? acutally, no... i found that when equipped with a dvd player, snacks, and coloring book, grace and raegan can entertain themselves for hours on end. yay! jack was also a great traveller this trip. he slept and slept and ate and slept. we arrived on friday afternoon and headed out to the middle school to surprise nana at work. my dad met me there as a distraction so she wouldn't see us come in and man was she surprised. she wasn't expecting us until monday, and so when we walked in, it was great fun!
one of the main things grace and raegan look forward to at nana's is pancakes with syrup and whip cream.
and no, the whip cream is not optional. they like it on the side, so each piece can be dipped in the whip cream. its more like... would you like a little pancake with your whip cream?
jack loved papa! and while we were there, jack became a big fan of fans... he was ever mesmerized by the ceiling fan.
here are a few more of papa and jack hanging out.
while we were there, my mom turned 50! so, we had a little get-together at the roberts' house. we ate yummy mexican food and had strawberry short cake for dessert. at the party, the girls spent the whole time outside with the trampoline and bubbles.
we had a great trip and were sad to leave at the end, but glad to get back to normal and to see bryan!

we only cut our hair when other people do...
taking a page from the tang book of hair care, we decided to cut jack's hair as well. rat's nest? no.... just really long hair. yes, we pulled out the clippers and probably took off 2 inches of hair on top... and the result? see for yourself.
