Whoa, I almost got sick just watching our own video!

It is quite possibly her FAVORITE thing to do, so when we saw it at Noah's birthday party, we had to climb inside.

We jumped. We played. We tried not to hurt anyone...too badly (sorry, Chaz!). But more importantly, we debated for a long time about who had more fun at Noah's birthday party!

Like Herding Cats!

Okay you three, look over here! No, right here, at the camera.

Great job, but, OK, now Ellena, look up here and let's do it again.

Uh, no, over here, lookie here! On 3, everyone say cheese-it's!

Alright! Oh, Nolan, don't look at your shoes. Look up here!

Well, Charlotte's looking here, but the other two have taken interest in the ground!

One more time! Right here! And GO!

Ellena!? Over here, Kiddo! Turn around now baby. Last time. Ready, Set, Go!

Forget it.

Nice picture of the fountain, anyway.

I Just Love What Kids Say

As a parent, it may be one of my favorite things to observe. You just never know what your kids are piecing together inside their noggin's based on what they are learning and/or what you've told them in the past.

Setting: McDonald's, Friday evening, just the two of us

Her: "Where's Momma?"

Me: "Remember, she's travelling for work. What would you like? Nuggets? Cheeseburger? Fries?"

Her: "Oh, I remember. I don't want anything."

Me: "Really? Nothing? Okay, we'll I think you'll be hungry soon, so I'm going to get you a cheeseburger meal."

While attempting to get her to eat:

Me: Take a bite of your burger. It's just like Daddy's and Daddy is eating his." (I had an Angus burger and it comes loaded with lettuce and a tomato).

Her: (thoroughly checking out my burger) "Your cheeseburger has a salad on it!"
