it's nice to know when .....when you're kids hear you lol i'v always been conscience of the planet (OXYGEN KILLERS!!!!!) not littering, recycling, turning off water and lights, we want to compost and garden and have less impact on the planet. We have talked about, and there are also commercials for "reduce, reuse, recycle", and so it's cute when Ab says "mom, we can reduce/reuse/recycle that!" :) so just now, dax asked if something was trash

D: trash, mama? I throw trash?
me: no, bubba, that's not trash
D: cycle, mama? I throw cycle?
me: [mouth open, eyes wide] ye..yes bubba. that goes in the recycle. lol

i kinda love this parenting gig ;)

more nakedness

this was actually before the sprinklers...Abb was finishing up with the watering, so Dax went and rode his bike lol he drops his bottoms when he has to go potty...which was in the front yard this morning ;) still working on getting the training wheels off.... she's gets all emotional when we talk about lol

the kids like getting on the blog and watching the videos of themselves ha ha, so nothing real special about the video, other than no hands girl!! ...just something for them to laugh at.

planting

I decided we needed some flowers in the half dozen planters we have by the front door ;), so I took the kids to the Shopko greenhouse (it's next to winco he he) on Saturday and we each picked a couple out. It was a nice morning today, so we went out and planted them. Dax liked pouring the water out of the jug and Abb liked getting the flowers out of the containers and planting them. It was a fun time decideing where to put them :) Once they were all in, Abb gave them the final watering for the day.

Day one. Abb chose the purple flowers and dax picked the vine plant on the right

I turned around and mentioned that the grass needed some water. "I've got an idea mama!!" water pouring out of the jug as she spun around like a sprinkler lol

"Can we turn the REAL sprinklers on?!?!?!" sprinklers on, clothes off! (abb is feeling her wet bum...not picking it lol)

playdoh mishap

Abb asked to make playdoh, so we got it all in the pot....she likes to measure and pour everything in the pan. I think the measurement were a little off, because at the point where it should just ball up, it was all over and i couldn't stir it.
Me: Something is wrong here abb.
Ab: Make a prayer mom. Make a prayer and ask Jesus to help you. To help you be strong and fix it.

ummm ok! :) the prayer didnt work, but starting over with correct measurements did the trick. and a non-stick pan ;)

oh bubba

D is doing pretty good with the potty-training. We ran out of diapers the other day, and I dont think we can go without them at night yet, so we talked about what to buy i.e. pull-ups or more diapers. I ended up buying both. JB and D stayed in the car while A and I ran inside and picked them out. Lucky for us they had Cars pull-ups. We got out to the car and A opens up the door and says "Look Bubba! Look what we got for you! It's Lightening bubba!" His eyes get all wide and a huge grin as he takes them in his hands. "Thank you Abbs!" he says. It was the sweetest thing. He kept repeating it. Thank you Abbs. You could just hear the genuine gratitude in his little voice :)
