party planning - from a 3 year old.

with micah's birthday coming up on friday, there has been a lot of discussion of party themes. for some reason, layla has become completely convinced that micah should have a princess party. this totally cracks me up because she's been talking since july about how when she turns 4, she's going to have a pirate birthday.

so she brought this up again this morning while she, micah and i were all flopping around in the bed waiting for the house to warm up (coffee to finish brewing). i said that micah didn't really want a princess birthday, at which point he crawled over me and farted.

so layla, in true layla fashion, said, "maybe he should have a fart party."

    so, twitter is essentially status updates like facebook has...interesting. I am all for the princess birthday for Micah and so is Lily. She was convinced that Jake needed a Sleeping Beauty party. Sounds like fun!

project life–week 3

nothing too exciting here: and yes, that is a picture of project life! I find myself taking pictures of things I would have found very weird a few months ago, but when you have the ‘daily life’ thing in mind, and stuff your grandchildren might enjoy seeing, it puts a different perspective on things. the latter half of the week: I LOVE wednesday’s picture… layla walking home from the bus. we do this EVERY day, and this is what it looks like now. I’ll have to remember to take one in the spring, and again next fall. I also have one of the pull-out double size journaling cards, which I used to tell the story of layla’s new bedding, which used to be mine. and that’s week 3.

and today i...

...found two cereal containers (tupperware knock-off type) and their lids which have been floating around the garage for a year now. i brought them in and they are currently in the dishwasher so we can actually use them for our endless supply of life and cheerios. 2 more things out of the garage... (or 4 if you want to count the lids!) woo hoo!

2017–week 6

sunday: so it begins… that fun evening game where you’re keeping one eye out the window at the falling snow, and the other eye on your phone, bouncing back and forth between the forecast and the news source for school closures that may have been already announced. i may or may not have yelped in glee and thrown my phone in the air when i refreshed it for the millionth time and saw BELLEVUE listed as closed! no work for me! monday: most of these will go into a separate “snow day” insert in the book. school was cancelled for pretty much the entire western half of the state, so much fun was had, playing in the snow. i took a picture of shane taking a picture of his measurements of snow on the fence. lol. a “new and improved” way to do dog sledding… i think they’re both confused. layla seemed to think this was the best way to get micah across the ditch full of frigid water… somehow, he made it, and then they decided it would be a good idea to jump it. i’m pleased to report that no one...

i’m going to be a grandma!

well, someday. i just had this actual conversation with layla and it cracked me up, so i thought i should write it down. layla: mommy, when can i have my own kids and be a grown up? me: when you’re all grown up! layla: when i am a grown up, can you invite makenna over so she can be one of my kids? me: no, when you’re a grown up, makenna will be too. you’ll have brand new kids that you’ve never met before. layla: really? brand new ones? me: yes. they’ll be yours. layla: and when they get sick… me: you’ll have to take care of them. layla: and when they get in trouble? me: you’ll have to discipline them. (for some unknown reason, this, in particular, evoked a big smile and some giggles… hmmm…) layla: and when they poop in their pants? me: you’ll have to clean them up. layla: oh, yeah. i’ll need the changing table out of your room then, so can you and daddy give it to me for in my own house? mommy, will you build me my own house when i’m grown up? me: no. yo...

vacation–day 2 (tuesday, august 10)

okay, no offense to gramma and papa, but this was THE DAY that we had all been looking MOST forward to. tuesday brought the arrival of the illdaps!!!! it had been SO long since we’d seen them, and even longer since shane and layla had. layla was just beside herself with excitement to get to play with lily again! of course, as soon as they arrived, everyone went straight into the pool! daredevil lily: hannah (banana): shane, air mattress surfing: jacob and micah checking out the little pool – not sure what was so funny… dave chilling and micah ‘driving’: gramma jackie and matthew: I think dave and I squeezed a trip to in-n-out fur lunch that day too! mmmm… double-double w/ grilled onions! later that evening, we took a walk to the park. long-lost cousins, reuinited: gramma helping micah and jacob make it dig: come on, uncle joe, it’s my turn!
