Light of my Life

Me: How old will you be on your next birthday?
Carrie: Four years old!
Me: Four years old?!?! How did you get to be such a big girl???
Carrie: Well, first I turned one, then I turned two, and next I turned three, and on my next birthday I’ll turn four!

Me: They’re twins, but one was born before midnight, and one was born after, so they have different birthdays. Isn’t that funny?
Logan: That sounds like a twin glitch!

I thought my pepper plant had died, but apparently it was just in a coma. It’s back, and it’s actually growing a little pepper! Isn’t this the cutest little pepper you’ve ever seen?

And my lettuce is growing…

And my green onions:

I have never had any interest whatsoever in gardening before, but so far this has been [...]

I’m really not ready for this:

Or this:

Or this!!!!

Isn’t she too young to be climbing already??? Isn’t it wild enough that she’s already walking? What kind of crazily ambitious little dynamo do I have on my hands???

Sad, huh? This is how Kayla looked most of yesterday. Her temperature was near 104 and she wanted to be held constantly. (I took this picture after putting her in the high chair to clean up after she threw up.) Can you see the tear on her cheek? She tried to cry because I wasn’t [...]

Me: Logan, did you ever wonder what clouds are made of?
Logan: No.
Me: Well, are you wondering now that I’ve asked?
Logan: No.

Sigh… car shopping is SO not fun. I mentioned in yesterday’s 7QTF that I had pretty much settled on a nice, used, (relatively) cheap, bare bones Honda Pilot. I was kind of happy in a way that I felt so blah about the car. I mean, it’s just a car, right? We can’t really afford a new car, [...]

Ha ha, I just accidentally posted this entry on Logan’s blog instead of mine! He used my laptop, logged me out of WordPress, and logged himself in. Sneaky kid!
Anyway, I just had to post this picture of my little princess.

I am so in love!

We worked on a fun project this afternoon: sock puppets! Boy, did they turn out cute.

Also, the other day we had a lovely afternoon outside, and the kids wanted to make videos of their Wacky Zingoz (Zingozes?). I tried to post it but it didn’t work. I’ll try again tomorrow!

I am blown away. I have never known a child as determined as Kayla. In the past 2 weeks (or maybe less), she has gone from being completely immobile, to crawling, to pulling up and standing, to cruising (walking while holding on to furniture such as the couch). And tonight, she started standing on her [...]
