I survived the grocery store... - September 1, 2016

I survived the grocery store ...with 3 kids. The Fred Meyer has a complimentary fruit display to help kids be happy while shopping. We went through 4 Mandarin oranges, 2 bananas and 4 little cookies (from the bakery).

On the way out of the store, someone asked if Meta and Thomas are twins. I suspect we will get that question a lot while we babysit Thomas (Dooley). He is 2  months older.

Dandelion Fuzz wishes - August 31, 2016

Tonight we went for a family wander near Hilltop Ski Resort and ended up hiking partway up the hill. Lincoln discovered dandelion seed puffs. I told him to make a wish and blow them away. He wished to keep hiking. Wish granted.

Then he found me a perfect wishing puff. I wished for a hug from Lincoln. Wish granted.

Then Linc wished for a hug from Mom and Dad. Wish granted.

I wished for a kiss.  Lincoln granted that one.

Then Linc wished for five hugs from his Mom. Wish granted.

I liked this game.

Tia wished for a selfie with Lincoln. He said, "That wish is not granted." and about five minutes later, Tia did a reverse photo bomb and got her wish.

On the way down a steep section, I handed Meta off to James. He has surer footing on the steeps. Meta protested. James said, "Fine. Let's get Mom!" So I pretended to run down the hill and Meta and Daddy pretended to chase me. Meta giggled all the way and when they got close, Meta said, "Got ya!"
