A flying turtle learns to swim

 

Regan first swim without the turtle.

Dwayne tossed him across the pool many many times. He loved it. Dwayne got out, and I got in. Regan asked me to “fly me far Mom.” I knew I was not capable of flying him very far at all so I told him he could “fly” himself off the diving board. He thought this was a brilliant idea.


It started like this. It took some doing to convince him that he could do it without his turtle.

And then we couldn’t tear him away. He slept like a rock this night.

 

Violin Kayleeism

Kaylee has been asking for a violin for a couple of months now. She has also been asking to organize her piggy bank so she can go shopping. I helped her order a toy violin online.

She walked up to Jon with her little wallet pulled out her bills and said, “Here you go Daddy. This is all the money I have in my wallet. Is it enough?” She was five dollars short. He didn’t tell her that though.

She had to wait six days for it to arrive. It was a lesson in delayed gratification. She loves it.

Joshily house

Got some crown up. YEA! As the resident painterish person. I have to say painting crown molding kinda sucks. It looks SO pretty though.

Shannon is our cutting pro. She is in charge of all cuts. She is awesome. IMG_0579 IMG_0573 IMG_0574 IMG_0575 IMG_0576 IMG_0579 IMG_0586 IMG_0588 IMG_0591 IMG_0596 IMG_0565

I think I should just do random posts of this kid stuffing his face. He has hollow legs. I just can’t think of where else the vast amounts of food go. It’s amazing. Jon and I are already dreading what our grocery bill is going to be like when this kid is in middle and high school. And having friends over…. We may have to open a special savings account and start stashing money now. FYI: This was slice 4 of his own pizza. That’s right. He gets an entire pizza to himself.IMG_0568 IMG_0570
