Crossing Guard

I don't know which is brighter, the stop sign or the hat and shoes!

Mommy's Kitchen "Helper"

Yesterday Nyla entered my bedroom and said, "Mommy, I love you!!"
ME: "Ahhh, I love you too Nyla".
NYLA:"And I'm really, really sorry I made a big mess in your kitchen".
ME: "Uh Oh!  Really? What did you do?"
NYLA: "Well I had to cook something and I was being your really good helper, but then I made a  big mess. I'm really, really sorry I made a big mess in your kitchen Mommy.....and I love you sooooooo much".

The picture below is what I found when I went downstairs!  I was really trying to be mad but this was so ridiculous that I couldn't help but laugh about it.

Then later after being scolded for attempting to get into my spice drawer again, she says to Scott, "Well then which ones are the "yes-yes" drawers Daddy?"

 

Marshall is 5 Years Old!!

Kids Are Smart

This morning, I told Marshall he absolutely could not surf down the stairs inside his slippery sleeping bag.  When I explained the dangers of blindly sliding down the steps to a tile floor below he replied, "Mommy, it is not dangerous to surf the steps inside my sleeping bag! I know this because kids are a little bit smarter than grown ups ya know!"

First Snow

Our first snowflakes of the year are falling this morning and no one is more excited than Marshall!!  We were getting ready to go feed horses and I heard him say, "Hey Nyla! Do you want to help me catch snowflakes in my wagon when we get to the farm?!"

Nyla's Observation

I was putting on make-up in my bathroom when Nyla (now 2 1/2)  walked in and said, "Mommy, did you know I don't have a "PEANUT"?  I replied, "You don't?  Well who does? (thinking we were talking about the Planter's type)"  She went on to explain, "Marshall and Luke and Daddy have a "peanut", but I don't have a "peanut" and you don't have a "peanut" either!  All I could say was, "Nyla, you're absolutely right about that!"

My Little Lady Bug

Nyla was so excited to dress up for her pre-school Halloween party today!!

 

 

 

Harvest Invaders!!

Caught two mice today with my bare hands! I am not kidding. Denver FAILS as a mouse hunter. I led him right to it. He got all excited to catch it but then he picked it up with his soft mouth and proceded to drop it right in front me. It was stunned so I grabbed it by the tail and picked it up. I'm thinking, "GREAT! NOW WHAT??"  I took it outside and let it go. I know...I'm a fool, because that mouse will probably make his way right back in here. In fact, he might even be the same mouse I saved from Scott (who wanted to stomp on it!) and made him release outside earlier today!

Nyla is 2 1/2!!!
