Siblinghood

It's been a long day and the kids have been driving me a little loco this evening with their arguing and fighting. However, I was reminded of the joys of siblinghood when I overheard the conversation they were having a minute ago.

Landen: "Lauren, I love you really, really, really, really, really, really much."

Lauren: "I love you that much, too."

Where are my Undies?

Actual quotes from this morning’s routine:

Adrienne: “Landen, please get dressed.”

Landen: “But, you didn’t set out any underwear.”

Lauren (yelling from her room): “Yes, she did. Macy is chewing on them in the living room.”

Got Milk?

Lauren thought of this all on her

own. She used Cool Whip. Makes

me wonder what the pros use for

the real ads?

Hoppy Easter!

Landen has always loved to visit the Easter bunny.
He talks to him and tries to get him to talk back.

This picture cracks me up! Don't they look happy?

Mom thought we should make it into a postcard titled,

"Wish you were here."

I talked him into pausing long enough
for a quick pic.

Day's End

I had just asked the kids to come inside and had given them some lemonade when Landen recognized my "it's almost bedtime" look.

Before I said a word, he turned to his sister and said, "Okay, Lauren. The party's over."
