Funny Stories

I thought I'd share pictures of the kids art work. The wall was done in pen, mainly by Ethan. The carpet in blue sharpie, mainly by Sophie, who also has more work on the coffee table. If pens get left down some where the kids pick them up and use them. Ethan will add on to his circles. The carpet I'm going to try alcohol or hairspray and see if I can get it out. Tried acetone which works but also bleaches the carpet. We might just have to paint the wall before we move. Just want to document their art. We need to get them an easel.

The kids found some new toy the other day. I was busy cleaning or do something. The kids had gotten in the bathroom cupboard and had got a hold of a box of tampons. Before I realized what they were doing there was a scattering of tampons on the ground. Ethan then comes up to me and points one at me and says "pow pa pow." Turns out they were using them as guns.

Sophie is potty training as some of you know. It's off and on for her right now. But before she goes to bed we have her go potty and do the whole bedtime routine. Well, now she has her babies go potty too. After she puts them on, she pats them on the back and says "good girl. pee pee in the potty."

Yesterday I finally decided to take the kids out to the park. We haven't been out of the house for over two weeks! We were still sick with coughs and runny noses but I know we all needed to see the sun and smell the fresh air. We went to a park in San Marino called Lacey Park. It's also a dog park and has a field to fly kites right in front of the playground. Very nice park. Maybe sometime we'll go there with Brandon and try to fly the kids cool kite. Ethan made a bunch of friends with 4, 5 year old girls and a 3 year old. I visited with their Mom's for a while while they shared snacks. Sophie had gotten some snacks from them too and shared them with my friends son Levi. It was pretty cute. She patted the ground for him to sit next to her and she'd hand him one every time he'd ask for more. Sophie's already good about sharing. After Ethan finished he thanked them and then walked down the field with his head down and hands behind his back. As if he were contemplating. When we left all the girls said bye to Ethan and thanked him for playing with them. We had a fun day. After DeeDee has her shots we'll have to take her there.
