For The Grandparents and Family

The Post with Lots of Dot Dot Dots

Memom has said that she is going through photo withdrawal. Funny thing is that I haven’t taken many photos – we haven’t done much that is photo worthy. . . unless you want photos of KB saying, “No!” and Little stomping her feet and yelling, “I am NOT going to do it.” Or maybe one of Bubba with his lower lip sticking out and him whimpering, “I am so sad.” Or maybe. . . you get the picture. It’s been a rough January at the Blue Hutch.

Still, even the devil can come off charming at times, so here’s a few cute moments. . . potentially the only cute moments. (Except there was this moment when I was sitting on the new couch with KB snuggling her blanket on my lap, Bubba snuggled up to my side, and Little playing her Leap Pad at the other end of the furniture. The kids were watching Sesame Street all tucked in around me and I FELL ASLEEP! I would have LOVED a photo of that.)

This is KB just moments after burning her hand on the iron. We went from hysterical tears to gentle giggles for three hours. If her hand stayed on the cold cloth she was okay. The moment she took her hand off it was BAD NEWS. She screamed and screamed at nap time but once she fell asleep the rest of the day was fine . . . she also had Ibuprofen kicking strong by then.
KB showin’ her love for the headband. ALSO – what is it with that sharp tooth??? That sucker looks lethal . . . no pun intended.

My two sweet men counting. Honey was emptying his change jar and that was right up Bubba’s alley. They were entertained here for quite some time.

Nothing but cuteness.

Today’s Ten Thoughts

1. My sewing is evidence to the Fall. I’ve been sewing my three last tea wallets and there isn’t a straight line on any of them. Good grief.

2. Today we ran to the store to get ingredients for a meal I’m taking a friend. Bubba looked down at the melting snow (the sun came out today) and said, “The snow is peeing.” That’s hilarious.

3. KB grabbed the iron yesterday and has a second degree burn on her left palm. The dime size blister popped in the grocery store today. How did I know? There was a literal yelp. Now I have to cut away the skin to help prevent infection. I’m waiting on Jeremy to get home so he can hold her still. I get nauseous just thinking about doing it.

4. My brother and his family are flying out tomorrow to the other side of the planet. I know we didn’t talk every day and we only saw each other four times. . . but it was nice knowing we could talk whenever we wanted (no time difference to calculate) and if we wanted to see each other it was possible. DEEP SIGH

5. I gave my kids baby carrots for snack today and they are sitting here looking at it like it’s poison. Bubba is devouring his. . .

6. Little’s birthday is next month and I need to think about it.

7. Sunday I was dressing Bubba and put him in an undershirt. I was telling him that this extra layer would help him stay warm. His comment? “I look like Daddy. I am a short Daddy.” LOVE that.

8. My kids aren’t going to want their dinner tonight either.

9. KB says every word that starts with “th” as if it starts with “f”. She also tilts her head and squints a bit when she is talking seriously about anything. It’s adorable.

10. American Idol starts tonight. I can’t decide if I am going to watch it.
