This is Kendall's favorite song, I Am a Girl like You from Princess and the Pauper, Barbie video. But she would sing so well in front of the camera. Garrett tried to help her out.

New meaning to fresh fruit
In our flower garden we are growing strawberries in a pot. This morning I was so excited that a few of the strawberries had finally turned red. I told Kendall that this afternoon when Garrett got home we'd go pick and eaten. She just couldn't wait. And she turned the hose on in the sand box and made a mud pack for her hair. Yuck!!
First, I asked her to point to the new red strawberries. Then before I could stop her she bent down and ate the top of the strawberry.
Upon closer examination I found that she had already bit the top off almost all the strawberries. And quite pleased with herself too. Garrett was soo disappointed. Heck, I was disappointed.
The BEST yardsale day EVER.
So my crazy foul-mouthed neighbors, who have only been here for three weeks were having a yard sale last Saturday. So I dropped by to make good relations and ask why she was selling so much stuff. She informed me that she was divorcing her husband and now moving to Florida and didn't want to take all this stuff with her. I asked about the red chairs and she wanted $40.00, I offered $20.00, she said OK and throw in the barstools AND delievered them to my house in the back of her truck. Score!!! They are from Thomasville and soooo comforable. Her kids even gave my kids a bunch of toys too. I need to be nicer to crazy neighbors.
Preschool Graduation
The kids all signed the Pledge of Alligance and the song, "What a Wonderful Life." Garrett did pretty good. I was surprised. I love some of the faces on the other kids around him.
As each child recieved thier diploma, they were asked what was their favorite thing about preschool. Garrett's response was painting. I was surprised it wasn't snack.
LOVE this pictures. Garrett couldn't be more proud of himself as a preschool graduate.
The kids after graduation. Tary-tary's is such a good sitter-upper. And Kendall loves to pose with Garrett.
This is the "famous" Bell of Righteousness. Yes, the kids love to ring the obnoxious thing constantly before and after school. Garrett doesn't really like the loud sound, but I thought we'd better take a picture.
Here's my little preschool graduate. I can't even imagine him as a High School Graduate. It scares me to death.

Peace of mind
What do you get when you...
- spend $450.00
- work for 10 hour over two days
- chit-chat with buddies about kids, life and the gospel
- neglect your children for those 10 hours
- complete mess of rice and beans all over the house
- ???????
Peace of mind that you may never use that year supply, but it's there.
Rice, rice baby!! Dum, dum du-du-dum, du-du-dum, dum! Sing along you know the song. You too grow up in the 80's.
Now, I need to organize it. Argh!!!

Day at the National Zoo
First off, let me say how cute this little critter is. She was such a good baby at the zoo.
Kendall was the first to spot the smelly fox. We never see this wolve/fox. You always smell him but this is the first time we really saw him.
Garrett's trying to do the emu-moo!
We watched this panda eat his piece of fruit for 15 minutes. He was so cute. Love the new Panda Cafe.
Can you spot the animal in the background? I'll give you a hint. Lions like to eat them for lunch.
Yes, Garrett is pointing to the bathroom.
And Kendall's pointing to her buddies the monkeys.
This cute little monkey and Kendall had something going on. When she'd put her hand on the glass, he'd put his on her hand. Then she'd giggle, and do it again. Everyone was watching the two of them mirror each other. I wish I would have had a video.
Kendall was a little afraid of the merkats. Frankly, I can't blame her. They are kind of creepy!
