Sweet Bell

e voice singing "eieio." I went to get Andy and we both listening through the door to Annie singing a mishmash of words then "eieio" followed by "mooooo." If that isn't the sweetest sound?
The sweetest smell would be Ben's nose from this afternoon. A friend gave us her Mr. Sketch scented markers - Andy says they were 'the bomb' when he was in grade school - as he is sniffing them now "hmmmm" with a heavenly look on his face. Ben came in to show me the picture he had colored with these special markers. It looked like he had some dirt on his nose that I figured we would just wash of in the tub. It wasn't until bathtime that I got close enough to see the mixture of colors that dotted that little space between your nose and upper lip. (A prize to the first person that can name that space acording to my favorite movie...) Every child in the good ol' US of A has had that happen at one point or another in his life - and if you don't admit it, I'll say your lying!!! :)

My Precious Daughters







How Spoiled Can One Mom Be???



My 'little' niece is here visiting for a few weeks to help me! It's amazing how equally she spends time with each of the kids and also playing with me. She is in charge of getting Annie in and out of her carseat (quite a feat for those who have also attempted this task as Annie is almost 22 months and would MUCH rather be playing with her buckles or roaming around the van), putting the silverware away, and something else that I can't remember. Lucky girl can't have too many chores because my mind can't remember them all! She is a great help and we've been able to go out and DO more things that we usually do. Ben adores playing house. Addy has been here almost a week (time is FLYING by!) and I still turn when Ben calls "mom" only to find they are playing house. June 25th is going to be a sad day when she goes home - IF she can get a ride to the airport because I just might have to keep her for a few more months...
