Our Important Guest

We have someone staying with us.  It's a friend of Brinley's. Although I can not see him, she insists her friend is there. She said it's a boy and he's big with black hair.  As she proceeded to tell me about this 'imaginary friend' she mentioned that his name is "Jesus".  He spent most of the morning with us.  She said he's really nice and he likes to play with her, they play with her toys.  Jesus disappeared while we were dancing to Kellie Clarkston on the radio and Brinley roamed around the house calling, "Jesussss?  Jesusss?".  She must have found him because she informed me that he would be joining us at gymnastics.   I must say that I feel honored to have such an important guest in our home.  In a world with all of this chaos he still took time to be a friend to my daughter and cheer her on at gymnastics.    I wonder if our 'guest' is here to stay or just passing by?

Life With Children

Brinley spends lots of time running around the house looking like this.  She loves dress up clothes!  Sometimes she requests that I call her "fairy".  Her latest thing is wearing her tiara backwards.   Her fairy wand is a must have when it comes to dress ups.  It's an accessory that must be included with all of her outfits.  Earlier today she walked up behind Dustin wearing this and I head him say "OUCH" and Brinley quickly replied "Well, it's a temperature."  In other words,  this fairy wand doubles as a rectal thermometer.

The Fun Park

We went with my sister and her kids to the fun park.  I thought Brinley would love the soft play, but she told me there was "to much people."

Childhood Memory

We made pink play dough the other day.  It reminded me of when I was a kid.  My mom made play dough for us all the time.  I think I ate it as much as I played with it.  No wonder my body has developed a love for unnecessary sodium.

The Kids

Last week we were able to have Talia and Riker for a couple of hours so we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner then went bowling.  It was so fun to have them with our family again.

Beep

The other night Brinley told us that she wanted a baby named "Beep". The more we thought about it we decided sometimes it would be nice to have a child named "Beep". Come here you little "Beep". Then we decided that we should have named Brinley "Beep" especially after we found this blue crayon on our tan couch.
