spring is on its way!

Melt snow - CHECK 
HUGE puddles formed - CHECK
Puddle boots purchesed & in use - CHECK
Spring... bring it on.
Tallen is ready!
this ginormous puddle is in the mulch covered area where the play set is near the club house. He wanted to put those puddle boots to the ULTIMATE test before the school bus came the other day.  He makes me laugh. Such a fun kid.

This Little Piggy…

Tonight, Miranda and Tallen took a bath together. Nothing really special about that…  I heard a report after the bath.  It went something like this:
“Mama! Tallen learned This Little Piggy tonight!
Tallen, show Mama!”

“This little Piggy went to market,                         This little piggy stayed home.                              This little piggy had roast beef,                           This little piggy had none.                                 And this little piggy …had SOUP!!”

I laughed soooo hard!  I am so glad I have this blog to keep track of the hysterical things these young ones say. They sure make my day less dull and dreary.
