"Don't say any words."

We have been enjoying nicer weather this week. I went out with the kids and did a couple hours of yard work. I love when I have work to do while the kids are playing outside. It is so much more entertaining to me. I even got Corbin in on it. He is not great at entertaining himself but he quite likes to work. I gave him a weeder and a bucket and he pulled a bunch of weeds. Working is fun! I think happy people like to work.

Last week I took Gabby with me to the store and I thought we should bond so I was trying to talk to her about stuff. After awhile I got to a stop light and just inhaled a deep breath to start talking again and before I could say anything Gabby said, "don't say any words." Ha. I died. So funny. She is quite like her old mother and gets easily irritated by stupid things. Apparently she wasn't appreciating my commentary.

Piper has a very unique personality. She is funny. She gets very excited by everything. Her nursery leader says she screams with excitement every time they do anything. She can say the words "uh oh, mama, and boo but she rarely does. She also will hardly ever walk. I seriously try to get her to walk and talk all the time. She understands very well and will listen and obey (when she is feeling like being obedient). She is very good at cleaning up. She signs the words more and please all the time. I generally know what she is asking for but sometimes she will come up to me pleading more and please and I have no idea what she wants. She also nods her head yes very slowly and dramatically and she says "UH-UH" when she says no. "Piper do you want to go to bed?" "UH-UH!" It's pretty funny when she does that. She has a doctor's appointment this week so I guess I will see what her doctor thinks about her development.

Corbin gets to go to the elementary school for the Summerwind chicks program this week and he's already excited to go. It's reading and math this time instead of music and PE, I guess we will see what he thinks about school after that. Reading and math is definitely not as fun as PE and music.

Corbin's weeds.

Piper walking, a rare event.

Gabby wanted to watch a Sunday show with Scott and didn't last 5 minutes.

St. Patrick's breakfast: green eggs and ham, and green waffles. I also made green chocolate chip cookies. One thing's for sure, food dyed green is not as appetizing.

Happy kids enjoying their fun breakfast.
