Seen and Heard

So here is my version of Seen and Heard.

Heard-
Kara: "Mom I'm thirsty and my bum is sore."

Heard later in the same day-
Kara: "My bum is sor......where's Dad?"
(Barry got her hooked to Vaseline, and has her believing that it makes anything better, because of this he is her go to guy for anything sore.)

Heard-
Kara: "Tan, we're buddies, right?"
Kara: "Tan, we're buddies, right?"
Tanner: "Yep"
Kara: "Cause we get in trouble"
Tanner: " We're troublesome twins"
Kara: "What kind of trouble should we get into"
Mom: "Not in the store"

Heard-
Mom: "I can't believe how fast you kids are growing up. I'm getting to be an old lady."
Kara: "Oh, I love you so much I don't want you to die. I will miss you so much."
Mom: "Don't worry I'm not too old yet."

Heard-
Kara: "Mom, you know you can't yell in heaven."
Mom: "Why not?"
Kara: "It's against the law there."

Seen-
Kendra being upset when I put the baby gate on the stairs. Then out smarting me by climbing up the couch and through the rails and up the stairs and looking back very proud of herself.

Seen-
Tanner unload the dishwasher without being asked (the first time ever!).

Exciting News!

We're about to have four of something at our house!!! No...it's not another child....we spotted four little tomatoes on our plant. This was exciting to see, and we hope to see lots more soon.

Out With The Old

We said goodbye to our Camry. It was good to us (most of the time), but started to get a little too much personality. With no outside door handle on the driver's side, the trunk stuck shut, the grill duck taped, the window that doesn't stay up, the back fire when it started, the fact that it goes through oil like no other and it just sounded like it was on it's last leg. It made a few trips across the county, but we weren't sure it would make it on another one like the one we will be making this summer. So Long Camry! Hello Civic!

Hair Cut

It was time! Kara's haircut that she gave herself a year ago has finally grown out long enough to try to blend in now. She got a cute little bob with layers to disguise the layers she had given herself. She really likes it, except when she just wakes up in the morning she has some pretty funky bed head, but once that is all smoothed out she likes it.

Crying Chorus

Bedtime tonight was a chorus of crying. Barry and I went outside to get away from the screaming cries of Tanner (because he wanted to read, or watch a movie before bed), Kara because Tanner was being so loud, and believe it or not Kendra slept through it all. Once Kara realized that Barry and I were outside she came out to complain. She said, "Mom, we forgot to have scriptures (as she is crying uncontrollably)." I said, "Kara I'm not going to have scriptures with kids that are being so crazy." Kara cried, "Aw, dang-it, I should have asked Dad!" She went into bed and a few minutes later everyone was asleep.

Pretty Pretty

Today Tanner and Kara wanted to run through the sprinkler. They had to wait for Kendra to wake up so Kara could get her swimsuit. I asked Kara if I could put her hair in a pony tail and she said, "Then people will say, is that Kara....she looks pretty pretty." Kara thought she looked pretty with one big pony tail. She is so cute!

Sure Love Ya!
