Kid Conversation

A month or so ago, The Frog came downstairs after dressing himself in a brown and orange striped turtleneck with white/blue/red plaid shorts.  It was then I knew we needed to have the talk.

The talk about how to match clothes.

Then last week, this conversation happened over breakfast when The Frog tried to tell a joke he made up himself.  (unfortunately, I can't remember it.  It probably wasn't funny...  he's still trying to figure out what makes a joke funny...)

Me:  Where did you get your funny genes from, eh?
The Frog: I'm not wearing jeans! I'm wearing pajamas!
Me: No, do you know what genes are?
The Frog: Yeah, they're blue and they go with everything.

6 Month Comparison

People keep coming up to me and saying that Hazel looks just like Peach.  However, when she was born, I thought she looked just like The Frog, so I've had it in my head this whole time that she would look more like him (and her dad).  I decided, one-and-for-all, to do a comparison of the 3:

The Frog at about 6 month

Peach at about 6 months

Hazel at about 6 months

 What do you think?

Family Jammies?

Most of what the girls have worn so far have been hand-me-downs from our "california cousins" as I refer to them.  We have two girl cousins who are 2 years apart in age like Peach and Hazel are, so we also inherited a few sister-sister things:

These jammies have been the first matching thing they've been able to wear!

A week or so after taking this picture, The Frog asked me, "Mom, when are you going to make my matching pajamas?"  Isn't that cute?  Poor kid is feeling all left out...  maybe I'll have to pull off something like this.

PS  I know there are plenty of matching family pajama photos on awkwardfamilyphotos.com but in my googling, I could only find ones (note the plurality) where the family was in pajamas, and the dad was naked.  what the...??

Excuses, Excuses

Sorry about the hiatus...  Between watching my two nephews Friday-Monday (littlest cousin A somehow didn't make it in the photos...)

Catching a stomach bug and dealing with it in the two cousins + Peach  (we went through soooooo many diapers last week...)  The whole weekend would have been pretty fun, otherwise...

"Luckily", I was up all night with it the night before mothers' day, so I had extra reason for Jay to let me sleep all day Sunday...  However, this bug partly caused this

A clogged main pipe, which caused a leak from out master bath through to the ceiling below, right by the front door.  (which means we get to explain what happened a lot...)

Then, Jay was gone when the kids ate breakfast and didn't get home until after they were in bed because he hosted a computer science conference at BYU last week,

so I never really got caught up last week.

Hopefully I can get back on the posting band-wagon :)

Kid Conversation

At Family Home Evening this week, we were talking about the 2nd Article of Faith and so we needed to review the story of Adam and Eve.  I asked The Frog if he knew who Adam was and this was his reply.

"Yes. He lived with Eve, right?  And they lived in...  I think it's called the Jungle of Eep."

I think everything would have more exciting names if The Frog had been the first man on Earth ;)
