Car Detail

The girls cleaned out the car tonight. Here's a sampling of what I am watching them put away:

7 books

4 magazines

19 shoes (notice the odd number)

Toothbrush (just one?)

A ramekin (since we don't eat in the car, though it appears we do everything else, I can't explain this one)

An ace bandage (don't remember the injury. Hmmmm.)

Screwdriver (no comment)

A treasure hunt map

3 water bottles

Deck of cards

Sewing needle

That's the short list.

Good Luck With That

Gabe was trying to pull a measuring cup out of Lincoln's hands today (yes, I might have had the entire gaggle in the kitchen teaching them how to bake cod) and I started to explain how he's the big brother and he can't do that....blah blah....to which he looks away like he is so bored and uninterested.

I stopped and said, "Bud, I'm gonna have you take a seat on the stairs until you are ready to listen to me respectfully." As he was heading to the stairs I heard him mutter, "You are so MEAN, Mommy!"

Bwhahahahahahaha. I was laughing so hard I could hardly contain myself as I went to confront him.

Are you kidding me? That will so not fly around here Mister.

Happy Father's Day, Ron

Watch Out Rachael Ray!

And yes, they are wielding a knife. Trust me, they are more proficient than I am.

God Bless You!

The girls were anxious to show me the new "trick" they taught Lincoln last night.

They're Hitched!

Kathan & Beth married on the farm last weekend. It was an amazing day. It rained just about everywhere in the city that day....but not the farm. Thanks God!

The rehearsal dinner was at Luce, it was lovely.

The entire Cos family. Beth makes a perfect addition, eh?

(side note: Claire, being held by Maddie, does not look comfortable)

They're officially married!

No cake smashing!

Wow, we managed to get a shot with everyone looking!

(well, close anyway, Lincoln is actually tearing Madeline's headband out of her hair. Minor detail.)

The bride & groom are off honeymooning in Mexico. Jealous much? Not me, I'll be there on holiday with my hubby soon*.
