Random Things

I caught these two cuddling on the couch Saturday morning. I just love that they can be so sweet to each other!!!
This picture should be titled "Tattletale".
Kate can swing herself now. Luke taught her the other day. He was very proud of himself and her. He came running in and told me to get my camera. I went to look first and sure enough she was pumping her legs like a pro. She refused to be filmed. I caught her swinging again a couple of days later, so she really has learned how. Luke and Rachel were closer to five years old before they would swing themselves. I am pretty impressed a two and a half year old (well almost three) has the coordination to swing herself!

On Sunday we found our last hard boiled Easter egg!! Luke had picked it up when he found it and I told him to put it down before it broke. Kate went into egg hunting mode and came running. I hollered, "No! Don't touch that egg!!!" So what did she do? Well she stomped on it like a bug!! Now the kids know what a rotten egg smells like!!

I wish I had save all the sand Luke brings home from school in his shoes and clothes. We could have had enough for our own sandbox by now. It is really ridiculous!! I picked up a pair of shorts while I was sorting laundry yesterday and the sand just poured out of his pockets. I think he must put handfuls in his pockets and shoes.

I can totally relate to the sand story...except that my kids carry little pebbles home with them. Instead of grass their playground has pebbles. Honestly I don't know how they still have them, because if the other kids are taking home as many as my kids they should have all been carried off by now!!! They have them in their pockets and shoes. And I always find the ones I missed in the washer.
