mischief

i thought i would share with you, this lovely little drawing my daughter made:

Picture 003

cute, huh? 

there are a lot of this type of drawing these days.the only problem is where she chose to draw it...  how about a little perspective:

Picture 004

yup, that's the bathroom counter. 

cute, huh?

and this is after she got 'grounded' from all her other markers after i discovered a whole collection of N's, M's, and W's on her bed.  that's right, ON her bed.  the bottom sheet to be exact.  not sure where she found this one... it was a felt tip pen, as opposed to a marker, and therefore, not washable.  i was able to get most of it off, but there's still a faint pink head with legs and shoes (notice the shoes - even when she's being naughty, she still knows what's important) on the bathroom counter.  LOVELY.

where did this come from??? yes, she's always been a little bit evil... but, holy cow!  she's just awful lately.  anyone know of a good 3 year old boot camp?

    Sara is horrible about coloring on odd things too, walls, doors, bedding, the couch...We have discovered if we have other "outlets" for her creativity it's a little better. We have an easel set up for her with markers and things for use on ONLY the easel. She has an art table in the corner where she HAS to sit to color, cut, stick or stamp. And the most fun, we have a piece of vinyl/pleather on our coffee table as a cover and that is her FAVORITE place to color (it started as a few "whoops'" and we gave up and now it's one of the BEST places to color, I don't think I will ever be able to get rid of it, it has artwork on it from the past full year!!!) Good Luck with your little artist, never know those drawings could be worth millions some day! ;)

    Oops! Haha! It's such a good drawing though! Have you tried the Magic Eraser? That seems to work magic on a variety of stuff. And if it doesn't work, you've got one more reason to get a new bathroom set, right?! May be cheaper to try the Eraser first though!

Road Trip Day 6

Yesterday was our last full day in Milwaukee. Shane arrived in the morning, but promptly went to bed and slept most of the day, since he had caught a flight at midnight to get out here. Matt took the kids fishing for a little while in the afternoon. Layla caught 1, Lauren caught 1, and Micah caught 4. They also did a little canoeing. Then there was some swimming, where Lauren, Madeline, Micah, and Layla were all trying to flip Dave out of his donut floatie. It took them like 20 minutes and was pretty funny to watch. Also, his toenails were stupid-long and some kids got mauled. Later Melissa, Doug, and Josh came over. We played corn hole, basketball, badminton, and an epically terrible game of kickball at the park. Until Josh kicked the ball over the fence and lost it. Good times. We brought Matt some Woodinville Whiskey from home. And then we impressed everybody with our $2 Harbor Freight tennis racket bug zapper. And Simon decided that Shane was a good enough human.

Road Trip Day 8

We've been a full week on the road now. 2 more to go. We started our Sunday in church at St. Paul's, where Dave worked (and the reason we ever lived here in the first place) from 2004-2006. Then it was lunch at Hill's, a bit more driving around, and discussions of various places (the fairgrounds, the bridge that got blown up, etc.). Then we went to visit Fred and Brenda, and wound up riding around on 4 wheelers all afternoon. Then, back to Danny's for steak dinner - so yummy! And then over to the Lange's for some puppy time! And we finished off with soft serve in a baseball helmet at Frosty Boy. It was a great day. So awesome to see so many friends and visit important places. License plate and state stats are the same as yesterday.

how to cook a turkey–by layla, age 6

“you get the turkey from the wild, where the wild turkeys are. you catch it with a net. to prepare it, you cut off the legs and the bones, and the beak and the eyes, too. you can stuff it with stuffing that is made of chicken. then, you put it in a big pan and stick it in the oven. you cook it at 4 to 5 degrees for 11 minutes. then you serve it by taking it out of the oven, cutting it up a little, and putting some spices on it. then you put it on plates and people can dish up all the other food, too.”

Road Trip Day 2

When we went to bed on Sunday night, the plan was to get up at 6 and leave by 7. HA! We left our campground at 8:30 after coffee, eggs and bacon, showers, packing up the trailer, getting more ice for the cooler, etc, etc... There was also the part where we figured out that the heater in the trailer only works if you have the propane turned on. Otherwise it just blows cold air. And the other part where Micah got himself locked in the bathroom. The deadbolt on the door was super tight. Dave was super smart and pulled on the knob while Micah turned. Then we drove. A lot. Montana is a big state. In case you weren't aware of that. At some point, we stopped at a rest stop in Waco, MT that made Layla nervous. Pretty sure she thought she was going to die while using the toilet. We also saw some gone-to-seed weeds in the grass by the parking lot with gigantic dandelion-like puffballs. Layla was determined to blow one and risked her life by stepping into the grass to get one. When we got to ...

lug nut fail

notice anything odd? no, it’s not that my wheel is very dirty. that is not odd… yup. missing a lug nut. actually, not just the nut. the whole bolt. last night, dave set out to replace the front brakes which were in dire need of replacing. apparently, in the process of getting the wheel off, the bolt in question BROKE OFF, rather than just releasing the nut. hmmm… needless to say, I did not drive anywhere today!
