"Megan, I bought the purse for you, so you owe me $6." I said.
Megan ran up to her room and came back with her wallet.  She pulled out a $20 bill, a $5, and a $1.  She said, "Here's $26, and I expect change."  I was dying laughing.

Conversations with Kendra

Kendra: Mom, can you put mascara on me?
Me: Um, no, it's the first day of school, not the prom!

Me: So Kendra, did you make any new friends at school?
Kendra: No, there is too much girls with black hair in my class.  I can't tell who is who.

Me: Do you want some practice changing diapers by doing one of Kara's?
Kendra: No, when I'm older I'll just have my husband do it.
Me: Oh really. Well, what will you do when he's at work?
Kendra: We'll have to get someone else to do it.  I'm going to be too busy being the mayor to change diapers and when I'm at home from being the mayor I'll be too tired, so my husband will just do it.

This 4 Year Old Scares Me A Bit!

*We went to Megan's class picnic day and as we were driving away Kendra said, "Mom, all the boys in Megan's class think I'm pretty."   "Um, did they tell you that?" I said.  "No, I just know it," she said with a big grin on her face.  Come again, say what?  You are 4 still right?  Ay yay yay...

*"Mom, I want to go to Hawaii and North Winter and Paradise.  It would just be so much fun there."  Um, okay...have fun! lol

*Kendra came around the corner dressed in only her underwear and struck a pose:  "Welcome to Kendra's world, it's naked party time!  Oh yeah!  Uh huh!  Naked party!  It's your birthday..."  We were busting up laughing and wondering where the heck she gets this stuff...

A Bit of June

 Picnics outside,

 pulling Greek yogurt containers out of the trash and getting super messy with the remains,

 splash pad fun,

 entertaining sisters in the morning,

 doing big girl stuff,

 wearing fun tutus just because,

 and lots of watermelon,

 Mom got a new haircut,

 taught lots of Body Pump,

 is taking up running,

and we're going on lots of family bike rides.  This is how to start summer off right!

Daddy-Daughter Duet

Mikayla and Dad sang, "A Chid's Prayer" in church today.  It was beautiful.  Well, Mikayla did a beautiful job.  In fact, it was so beautiful, Dad got so choked up listening to her part that he could barely sing any of his verse through the tears and the emotion caught in his throat.  Not a dry eye was to be had...

Almost time for Summer Recital!

 Megan and Char Char!

A little taste of May

 Big girl likes to feed herself everything lately

 She also likes to be on her own at the playground

 I can't believe how big and grown up Mikayla looks sometimes

 The tongue out just kills me!

 love this!

I don't know who was more scared here: Mom, or Kendra? lol

Another Great Red Suspender's Day

 First, we watched the bed races.

 Then, they needed someone to sing the National Anthem at the last minute, so they asked Mikayla.  She had less than an hour to practice and was so nervous!  She, of course, did a great job though!

 Watching the parade.

 Grey was so sweet to share his sucker!  Only true friends share saliva and suckers.

She kept trying to steal more licks! lol

Finally, we gave in and she got her own.

 They loved playing in the water in the street and going on the motorized rides too.
