Happy Birthday Megan

We recently celebrated Megan Skube's first birthday. It was a particularly special birthday since it was a year ago that our children became good friends. Megan surprised Jenny with an early arrival, so I had the pleasure of being Aunty to the kids for a few days while Jenny was in the hospital. How does a year go by so quickly? How can this cute little baby now be a year old and Jenny & I haven't aged a bit?? Notice that we took pictures of the girls and not ourselves!! hee-hee!

Jenny also captured the kids playing together - Rachel & Lindy in dress up clothes. Yes, Rachel is a mouse.

And here's how David & Tommy watch TV - through the railing of Jenny's stairs. Too funny!

At dinner, Rachel asked, "Why don't you have something on your mirror?" I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked. It became obvious she was referring to the rear-view mirror in my car when she replied, "You know, like a fake, paper tree, a sparkly necklace, or 2 dominos."

We were about to ride the go-carts and bummer cars. David announced in his grown-up manly sounding voice, "Watch out, I'm gonna pimp my ride!"

I was rubbing David's back and stopped. David said, "Please pet me more, Mommy."

After seeing a picture of Grandpa as a teenager, Rachel said, "Grandpa, you look better old."

David really wanted his friend Erika to pick up the guitar and play while he was beating the drum set. He wanted to pretend they were a band. When he asked, Erika replied, "I don't want to, honey." David replied, "It's not honey, it's music!"

I overheard Rachel tell David, "Yep, that's what they call me at school... the expert."

David explained, "I don't want you to do what I say that I don't want you to do even if you want to do it, I don't want you to and I'll tell you what I want you to do. Ok?"

Rachel has had moments of shy-ness lately. At one point she said, "When I feel the butterflies in my tummy, I know there's no room inside for talk and laughter. Everything goes quiet when the butterflies are flying."

David climbed into bed, snuggled under the covers and rolled on top of me. We were belly to belly. He whispers in my ear, "ah, this is the warm spot."

David was cold and wanted to quickly get on his pj's after getting out of the bath. He stated, "Mommy, hurry! There's no time to spare!"

When the choir was done singing in church today, David leaned to me and said: "That song was nice. I got bumps in my tummy."

After preschool, David told me about one of his classmates: "Mommy, you know Theo is not a good listener." Mommy: "Oh, did he have to sit in the Think-About-It-Chair today?" David: "No, he's not a good thinker either."

David snuggled into bed with me this morning and said, "Mommy, you're very warm...have you been drinking a lot of coffee?"

On the first day of school Rachel said in an exhausted voice, "Mommy, will you pllleease just stop holding the camera!?"

Mommy: "David, how do you want your hair cut?" David: "As short as a hog's."

David came into my room this morning and said, "Mommy, I zoomed-d out of bed today!"

Deuce was in the doorway, blocking David. Using his deep, manly voice, David told the dog: Get outa my way, you two-timer.

Rachel asked: Is fire hotter than the water in Daddy's bath?
