Multi Tasking

Buster has been potty training and the other day in the middle of chaos I walked past the bathroom to see this. . .

Killin' time

What do you do on a Sunday (when you can't really go anywhere) and the husband hasn't slept for over 30 hours and really needs a little shut eye?

Have a picnic after Church!

So the picnic started out GREAT! Then we went to feed the ducks.

There is a reason you do not were church clothes to a yucky sandy man made lake that people fish in ducks and dogs swim play and of course poop in.

nothing like getting a great twirl in on a poopy sandy beach! KB loves to dance

Luckily the kiddos weren't as grossed out as I was and just had a great time!

In the end it was great, just a little disgusting at times.

Sorry for the poor picture quality I've been playing around with the manual functions on my camera and well I can't really figure out what I changed and what needs to be changed so the pictures aren't so grainy with wierd coloring :) any suggestions?

WHY?

Buster asks why constantly (I know it is what my little guy is supposed to do, but his sister never did) anyway I was cracking up the other day when not even he could answer his question why. Overheard Conversation Buster had with himself (okay really the horsey's he was playing with had this conversation). I do love (parenthesis ) even when they aren't appropriate.

Horsey #1: Why
Horsey #2: Because it is blue
Horsey #1: Why
Horsey #2: Because it is
Horsey #1: Why because, see it is blue
Horsey #2: Why
Horsey #1: I don't know why, why, why (he said that with a very exasperated tone)

You gotta love the logical imagination of a little boy!

FIRSTS!

We have had a few firsts in the last few months. . . (if you are an aunt, uncle, grandma, or grandpa you will probably enjoy this post)

Hiselt:

Drinking from a cup and drinking water

Eating Rice Cereal and food

and wearing Sunglasses

He is also Crawling but I don't have a great picture for that

Buster:

Having a chance to walk around looking perfectly TRASHY!! He got car sick and well we did not have a change of clothes or a store close to the woods we were in. He definitely helped us fit in!

She can do the Monkey bars all by HERSELF and a cartwheel, oh and KB has begun doing her own hair (a picture to come)

The two BIG kids

Canoeing

Making our own popsicles

Hope you are all enjoying your summer!

Philosophical phrases from the Bee's

After our power came back on KB very excitedly yelled "we have lightricity"

KB's favorite new phrases are... "are you thinking what I'm thinking", and "I don't have an idea about that". She is also really into people coming over on her designated time. All the way home from church she cried because she wanted a friend to come over (problem I didn't have enough dinner to share). I said well maybe we can call and see if they can come over tomorrow. KB's response "but I wont want them to play theeeeeeeen!" Oh what do ya do?

Out of the blue KB says "mom, say I one the arm" I hate to admit it took me longer than it should have to realize we were playing the "I 8 the arm" game. Anyway as we were playing, I told KB "I 2 the alligator", she cracked up and said I didn't achoo the alligator I coughed the alligator.

Yesterday I was sitting down, and unprompted, KB walked up to me and, pointing to my left eye said, "Daddy, that is your good eye." I replied, "Oh really?" She continued, indicating my right eye, "and that is your bad eye." She then spit in my "bad" eye and said, "Now I am getting your bad eye wet." I told her that if she spit on me again, I would have to look at her with my bad eye, and needless to say, a few seconds later, I was looking at her with the bad eye.

About a week ago, KB went to the bathroom and was talking to Swifty while she was going. This is what she said, "Dropping a load makes your tummy feel better, that is why I still have the coughs". I wasn't quite able to follow the logic behind her statement.

Keeping in mind KB was just told she could not watch a movie because it was Sunday, she said to me, "Mom sometimes it's not Sunday!"

Buster's New Tricks

Talks like Crazy, his favorite phrase is "No MAMA", he likes it so much he tries it out in different voices.

More new tricks... Buster can now bark like a dog (although it sounds more like Tim Allen's grunting on Home Improvement), bop his lips like a fish, growl like a tiger, say dayers, in reference to his big sis., he runs, and loves to tease us. He also says dace for me to dance with him. He must have things a certain way and until he talks better we are not quite sure what that way is. Hopefully we will know soon.
