When he grows up

What will Burrito decide to be when he grows up?
I can't wait to see.

He's practicing being a Priest.
He's working on his home run average for the major leagues.
He's in a band.

And lately....He's working on his Crime Boss intimidation tactics.

What do you do with an idle Sunday?

Here's what happened in my backyard last Sunday.  I was in charge of general design and painting (both red and green).  we are loving it!!



p.s. There have been no broken bones....yet.

p.p.s.  Please excuse the weeds, I'm gonna have to fire the landscape girl.  She obviously isn't doing her job.

p.p.p.s The audio is crappy because it was windy....but the argument you are missing is the girl asking her dad (now that the seesaw is done) to build a giant tree house.  Heehee I laughed...you can too.

Hot Wheels

The GirlChild has been forlornly staring out the front window watching the neighborhood children ride their bikes in the street for the last 6 months.
She got a scooter for Christmas which she loved until she realized it had three wheels and ALL THE COOL KIDS have scooters with TWO wheels....c'mon mom.

So, The boy took a hand me down bike from Molly, repainted it, Emma-fied it up, and he gave it to her for her birthday.

Here's the maiden voyage, the funniest part (to me, the mother here) is Burrito zooming past Emma on foot.  Cracks me up every time.



p.s. Sorry about the sound...crazy windy that day.
Have you noticed how weird the weather's been lately?

My Favorite Girl Child Turns Four

Only one more year until she's off to school forever....we better start soaking this time up.
Here are some highlights from the last year.

Ready or NOT

I might have to quit hanging out with my favorite blue hairs on Saturday (AKA the knitting club).  Crazy things happen around my house whilst I am gone.
Or, is it that the boy is TRYING to get fired from watching his own children. I'm not sure what happened during nap time this past Saturday, but there wasn't very much sleeping going on.  And lets just say that there is quite a bit of photographic evidence that may be used against Burrito later in life.

But, the real reason for this post.  This is what I came home to:


As his mother, I am both proud of his accomplishment (he is after all, 2 yrs old) and terrified (he is after all ONLY 2 yrs old)

Maybe He Will Grow Up to Be Pope Someday

If I could figure out how to subtitle I would do it for you.

Or maybe he's just working on his Latin translation...I have heard that we are going back to some of that in the near future.

Words you might be able to pick out:
Alleluia
Bless the Lord
about the 50 sec mark, with arms out stretch, "Lord hear our prayers"

Weird - yes.
Cute - yes.
Should I be worried yet?
