My girls...

The girls say the funniest things sometimes. Recently conversations:

Mom: "Please do _________."
Maeve: "No, today I am going to choose the wrong."

Okay.

Mom: "Why are you eating yogurt with a grapefruit spoon?"
Adelle: "Because we didn't have any grapefruit."

Okay.

(Though I do remember a fascination with Dad's grapefruit spoons growing up (I found matching ones at a garage sale a few years back). Maybe it was just the risk of possibly cutting the crap out of your mouth. I don't know. )

3000 miles + 4 kids = insanity

Just returned from a family reunion to Utah with a quick trip to Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Joel drove out with us but headed to California to work while we toured the parks with my mom, sisters, and our kiddos, all 12 of them. Unfortunately/Fortunately Joel got an additional job in Utah after his job in Cali so we had to head back to Kansas without him so Adelle could start school (dang public school starting the beginning of August!?). I took tons of pictures but left the camera in Utah with Joel so the photos will have to wait. Thanks Katie and Jim for hosting us! We had a great time.
