An update....

Here is an update of what my kids have been doing lately: Bridger thinks that having old tires for next door neighbors is the best thing ever. He plays in the dirt all day long (and to be honest, I don't mind...). And every morning he says: "What are we going to do today, Mom?" and I had better have a good answer! He only cries because he wants more candy (which is suprisingly often...) and he loves to go to the library--he doesn't have the patience to learn to write his name, but he has every book in his room memorized. Lately, his service to the family has been to inform us of the different dinosaurs that are still alive and threatening our community. There's the "mack-o-saurus"--he eats up everybody's macaroni and cheese and the "bead-o-saurus" eats houses and lives under the roads--watch out everybody! And Bridger's other love is the radio. Heaven forbid if I change the channel in the middle of the song.... You can find him singing such lyrics as:

• "I've got a submarine, you've got gasoline, let's not talk about a war between nations" (U2)
• "It was a long and cold december, from the rooftops I remember there was snow, white snow" (Coldplay)
• "You might be a big fish, in a little pond" (Coldplay again--they're his favorite)
• "I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive" (Taylor Swift)
• "I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale" (Taylor Swift--he won't admit it but I think she's his favorite too)
• "Cowgirls don't cry. Ride baby ride." (Brooks and Dunn)

Now onto Kennedy--I think she has reached the 'terrible two's' and she's not even two yet! What am I going to do with her??? This is the face she makes on a regular basis. It's the "I'm-going-to-make-this-face-until-I-get-what-I-want-or-until-my-face-gets-tired" face. Seriously, she was so easy before, now she is so demanding!

And sometimes, if you're lucky, she'll clench her fists and her body will shake--it is truly a sight to behold! Why is she even crying here?? I mean, she is licking the spoon, is she not?
But I am enjoying her talking more--she has the sweetest, softest voice and she is starting to say so much! "I want lipstick." "Bridger's cute." "Where's my purse?" "I want chocate." "Grandpa's in Forida." "Where's Kendede's Daddy?" "I need a tissue." (as she is unrolling the whole roll of toilet paper!!)
Since she loves all things girly, I attempted to paint her finger and toe nails red the other day. She hated every minute of it. I only got half done. Bridger on the other hand, didn't think it was fair the Kennedy was the only one to have bloody nails, he wanted bloody nails too. Needless to say, he sat very still for me--I hope Kennedy paid close attention. :)
