Dirt Delivered

We built 4 big planter boxes to house our garden and were in need of some good, black dirt. After it was delivered and dumped in the boxes, the mess on the street was enticing to these two little girls. What the heck... getting dirty is good for the soul.

And yes, Adam did throw dirt at Kira's face with a shovel. And she loved it.

Not Quite Sure

We gave Ava rice cereal (at Adalin's bidding) for the first time two weeks ago. It made me wonder if Ava will ever be able to eat solids b/c she hadn't a clue on what to do with that mushy stuff.

The Winkies at their finest

The girls come out of their bedroom with these underwear covers on their heads, cracking up. I want to ask what on earth they were thinking, but I already know the answer to that question:

Adam periodically puts [clean] underwear on Kira's head when she is getting dressed and not expecting it. The things they get from their father...

Crossroads Village

Adalin's school had an end-of-the-year field trip to Crossroads Village in Flint. She was beaming with pride seeing all of her classmates in a public place such as this. We got to see a blacksmith do his work, an steam powered saw cut a log into boards, an old doctor's office and all the old-fashioned tools those docs used to use back then. We rode the antique train there too, which was fun (it was actually a bit scary... the train car would shift side to side, especially when traveling over bridges.)

Pretty Funny

I came across these things that Adalin said almost 3 years ago. I had written them down, but I don't think that I ever blogged them! She was 2 1/2:

8.31.07 Adam took off his shirt after working out at the gym and Adalin, seeing his armpit hair, said, "Daddy, why do you have mustaches under there?" 9.8.07 I put Adalin on the toilet and she fell in a little bit, but caught herself. I said, "Whoa, you almost fell in." She thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I did, then you would have flushed me to [pause] … Heavenly Father."
