What makes a big sister do what she does?

I gave my youngest boy (age 2) a strip of thick masking tape to keep him busy for a few moments. He gave it to one of his big sisters (age 10). She then tapes his wee wee to his butt.

He walks up to me. I gasp!!

I then have to remove it. Gasp again as it pulls the skin. EECCKK!

It didn't hurt him.

So I want to know why something like this even crossed my daughter's mind. I am again clueless when it comes to her.

Lesson learned, don't give tape to MY children.

Birthdays

Every time one of my children has a birthday, turning a year older, I get all sad. "My babies aren't babies anymore." I cry.

My oldest girls which are twins turned 10 yesterday. 10!

10!

12 days ago, my oldest boy turned 4. Already!?

And my youngest (for only a very short time) turned 2... 25 days ago. Can that be true? Is he really 2?

I cry a lot every October.

Snowman

My Knight comes home after plowing snow all night and takes the kids out and they together make a snow dude.

It's a dude, a dudette wouldn't have dirty brown crooked teeth.
I hope.


I think he is winking ;)

Alien Invader in my home

I don't remember the girls doing this but this is now Eli's new hobby. If he keeps this up, I'll need to buy stock in Q-tips.

Why do boys have to put things in up their noses?

Isaiah is turning into the HULK

This is what happens when a 16 month old gets into a jar of green cookie sprinkles.

Elizabeth might not like me posting this but I can't help it.

Idaho Falls

Family road trips can be quite fun. I personally don't like them. I get terribly bored sitting in a car for hours and hours. But I do have to admit this one had a few highlights like this picture above and the treasures Chris and the kids found at a yard sale in a tiny town.

Rugged and Handsome

Oh my sweet innocent little one. You had me at Hello. Isaiah, you should be very happy this isn't in color. It's your sister's PINK cowboy hat. I won't tell anyone. I promise.

Really.

I swear.
