"What'd I say?!"

Daddy: (Growling) "The monster's gonna get you, A!
Mom: "What are you gonna do, A?
A: Still holding her favorite toy, a VERY HEAVY whisk that she picks like a guitar, brandishes her whisk and clubs Daddy on the nose! " Ah-ha-ha!!!"

Shopping with Crafty Baby

Here is my baby, in one of her favorite places. Ever. The Kroger cosmetics aisle.


She's all happy here, 'cause she just realized where we were. Yay!!

Now she has made her selection, lilac glitter polish for her toes.

Do you like it?
(Mom: "Want me to put it on your toes now?")

UH-huh!To the lady next to her, "wook!"

This is why I spend copious amounts of time in Kroger each week. Hey, at least we're getting out of the Wal Mart rut!

Splish, Splash! Johnny Cash ( and Ellington, a distant second)

Well, as you can see, Ava is the owner of a kiddie pool. She likes it...Sometimes.
But what she really likes is listening to Johnny Cash. All the time. We listened to 3 LPs this afternoon, and she rocked, laughed and sang along. At the end of each song, she pointed to the record player and looked at me. I appropriately responded, Johnny Cash, YAAAYYY!!!! Which caused applause. Right about that time, the next song would start, and startle Ava.
So, after three LPs (I adore Johnny Cash, but still!) I put Duke on. No. Where jhhh csh??
And it all went down hill from there.

Penis plants and "I know, Mom"

Okay,
Well, I haven't posted in a while. But, as you will see in the upcoming photos, I have been really busy. Really!

Socky likes to play with her barrettes. By "Play", I mean throw them all over her room, and cry when the box is empty.
She also enjoys a good toothbrushing before bed!
We "found" this down the road from our house last night. Two houses down, to be exact. The sheriff did not think it was a Kodak Moment, but oh, well.

Then there is our next door neighbor's house. On my way home after taking pictures of the madness and mayhem, I noticed these in my flower beds. I asked Soldier Boy what they were, and he immediately got online to find out. 10 minutes later, he walks into the dining room and announces "penis plants!" Oh? yep, otherwise known as phallic stink horn. who knew?!
So as I'm looking at the info Soldier Boy found, Socky starts picking at the wood on my antique buffet. I said, "A, if you touch that again, I will have to spank you." To which she replied, "I know, Mom."
She's also started calling Taco "Tahoe, Tahoe!" Just for the record.

I am in the process of putting together another little batch of things for Lola's, so hopefully they will be up for your viewing pleasure soon!
