Down on the Farm

-
There is a small farmer's market and petting zoo about 5 minutes from our house that we'd never visited before. It was $4 for us to get in, but you could end up spending more if you want to hold the bunnies, feed the pigs, etc. The only splurge we made was for kettle corn. Caris loved the chance to wander all over the place. We'll definitely be going back soon!  

I thrifted these Carhartt overalls before I was pregnant, probably 3+ years ago, they've been sitting in a Tupperware container all this time. She got a lot of compliments about them. "Please sit and smile for oneeee pumpkin picture?" 
 She's really into animals and animal noises these days, but animals are scarier in person than in a book. She did pet the donkey and say, "BEE BO BEE BO" (Good boy, good boy)
Checking out the noisy rooster- the same kind of rooster that we hear when we Skype with Grandma and Pops in South Sudan
 Please take a decent picture with Mommy? Pleaseeee? 
 The kettle corn was a hit with all of us. I'd pay the entrance fee just to walk in, buy popcorn and walk out.
 Kisses for Daddy and lots of memories made

I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
