Funnies!


Here are a few recent highlights.

Potty Humor:
First, after eating donuts this morning, David said he had to go potty. While on the toilet and between grunts, David said, "Mama, after I poo poo, I kiss you!" A few minutes later he said, "Mama, the chocolate and white on the donuts and the milk are talking to me!" Too funny!


Smells:
Yesterday on the way to daycare, we passed a dead skunk. David asked, "Mama? What's that smell?" I replied, "Well, David, that's a skunk." After sniffing the air, he commented, "Mama, I'm thinking it's skunk and....turkey!"

While driving today we passed an unknown smell outside, and David asked what it was, to which I replied, "David, I don't know." He sniffed and decided, "Mama, I think it's...turkey and...cheese or...cow and mustard!"

Here is his super sniff face!

What a cutie! He makes us laugh so much! E

Hello again...

What do ya know?! We blinked and another few weeks have passed! We have been busy taking care of things around the house and wrapping the school year with state testing. David has really been enjoying the warmer weather and the opportunities to play in the yard.

We started off by having some new flooring installed in the house so I stayed home with David. We were fortunate to have some great weather and we spent most of the day in the backyard. I was glad to see David finally getting over his fear of dirt. Several times in the morning he buried his cars in the dirt and then took them to the "car wash."
David's daycare was closed for a couple of days so Emily stayed home with David and took him and a friend to the OKC Zoo one day. They both really liked the animals, but I think the new children's zoo section was hit! Emily said they were cute picking their favorite goats to pet.
We have also been working in the yard. I decided to give gardening a try, so we built a "square foot garden." After we put the plants and seeds in the ground David was ready to cook them, but I had to explain to him that they needed to grow some more. We also signed David up for an indoor soccer league this summer. He was so excited when we told him that he wanted to go outside to "play practice."
I am pretty proud of our tiny homestead. I have always been a little disappointed with the size of our backyard, but we have managed to fit a garden, a swingset/fort, and a mini-soccer field back there all in the last year. I didn't know we could be so efficient!

Talk to ya later,
Kyle
