Arts Festival

We had an awesome day at the Arts Festival with great friends. The kids made some crafts. Bridger played, got pushed by a random kid, and didn't notice. The kid fell trying. Ha.

Natalynn saw some face painting and it was the first time she'd ever given a tush about it. But she decided she was going to do it and waited in line for over 30 minutes. This is previously unheard of. She saw blue flowers and wouldn't be persuaded for anything else. She was very proud.

Afterwards we took the trax to Gateway mall for some water fun. Bridger LOVED it and the steam was his favorite.


Chinnie thought it prudent to wipe her wet, blue face on the smack dab center of Brigham's bum.

Parents are garbage cans, towels, garbage disposals, and personal assistants in every way.

Another First

The first and only post, not family related, deemed worthy of making it on my family blog, is this actual politician...enjoy.

Rainy June

This June has been the best month! Downpour delight!

bonk

Bridger, as most people know, isn't the most careful kid on the block. He often falls on his head and makes it known by saying "bonk"

He still doesn't like to talk much but there are certain sounds representing sorry, thanks, out, bird, and dog- just to name a few.

He's just gotten over the stage where he throws himself down a single stair with his arms straight up. This was always followed by a giggle.

And the strangest thing happened yesterday. We were watching Super Why! and they were talking about the word Brave. Every time a B came on the screen he would say "Bee" (coincidence?) It happened 3 times.

mannequins

I haven't taken Chinnie to the mall since she can remember but I took her about a month ago to Forever 21. They have these great mannequins all over the place and she was in awe. At first she just looked at them in wonder, never touching. Soon she reached out a hesitant hand, glancing up at me to see if it was ok. I told her it was and she touched a toe. Then on to the next, she ventured further. Pretty soon she was running up to each one and feeling up their legs to uncomfortable heights. It was embarrassing to say the least.

Tonight I went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic with some friends including Chinnie's sunbeam teacher, the famous "Sistow Dea" and I wished I would have taken her. She would have been in heaven with her favorite teacher, watching mannequins come to life.

Kisses

Kisses really do help owies. Want proof? Have a child kiss you better.

When Bridger stubs his toe he can be found sitting in a yoga pose smooching his toes. So very cute.
