I think Frankie may have ESP...

... not only does she frequently know the cards I have in my hand when we're playing Go Fish ("Mommy, ask me for my three"), but today I snuck quietly into the kitchen, put a mug of milk in the microwave and quickly added a couple spoonfulls of Swiss Miss, only to hear a little voice from another room: "Can I have some hot chocolate?" (disclaimer: I hardly ever have hot chocolate) Maybe she should be a soothsayer for Halloween instead of a fairy.

The fearlessness of youth

Nothing like standing in a cold, muddy puddle of water on a brisk 60 degree day. Oh, and add *pantless and barefoot* to that.

Fall brings out the crazy in this family, apparently. And yes, I did immediately whisk them inside to warm up...immediately after I got a few good shots that is...

And just sitting up, hanging out, and being cute before bed.

Bundle of baby...is there anything cuter?

Drowning our rainy day sorrows

So, we got Coke, Miller Lite, Nestea, Coors Lite and leftover chocolate milk. Each comes with a cute little plate. What's your preference?

Thankfully they've not figured out how to open them. Yet.

Happy Anniversary Lolo and Lola!

30 years- what a legacy and example to us all. Congratulations!

Wake up call

I happened upon Frankie in the refrigerator, finger-deep in a pan of jello. Jello was on the floor below the refrigerator.

Me: "Clean up the jello you dropped, please."

F: Pause... "You didn't scream?"

Me: "Um, no, I didn't scream."

F: "Wow, you're being nice."

Hmm. Maybe I need to take more naps...
