True Story

Okay, so it's been a while since I've posted.  I have tons of photos to share, but alas my time is not quite as plentiful.  But while I had a minute, I just had to make a quick entry to document a recent witty play on words.

Yesterday, Osten and I were listening to a woodpecker in our front yard.  They are all over the place out here, and we hear them often.  We were listening to one little guy just a peckering (?) away, when the following conversation unfolded:

Osten:  "Mommy, I hear a woodpecker."

Mommy:  "You're right.  That is a woodpecker.  I hear it, too."

Osten:  "No, Mommy.  One woodpecker, not two!"

True story.  Ah, the three-year-old perspective.  It's priceless!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Osten had a dress-up day at school this week to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday . . .

A Pirate and His Cowgirl Princess

Marci is finally old enough for dressup, and she and Osten had a big time donning costumes last week.

As usual, Osten wanted to be a pirate, while Marci opted for a country-princess look.

Suspenders, which are usually Osten's favorite fashion statement, were not what Osten had in mind.

But as it turned out, they were the perfect compliment to Marci's wand and tutu!

Fun with FaFa

Here's a shot with FaFa from our trip to Piper's house. As usual, Osten had a big time playing with FaFa.

Dishin' Daddys

Check out the two Daddys on the deck, dishin' about who knows what! Since they weren't dressed alike this time, they hit the local watering hole while Ang, Heather and I hit the President's Day sale at Kohl's. What wild lives we lead!

Ka-Boom!

Look how big baby Boom is getting!

And he is so alert. He's laid back, but very observant!

Story Time

Both Osten and Marci had a great time playing with Piper's toys, most especially her books. As an added bonus, Aunt Ang entertained them with a spontaneous story time without a nap or bedtime attached!

Marci especially liked this Gossie & Gertie book. Who knows, maybe the Easter Bunny will put a new book or two in her Easter basket this year!
