Lessons Parker Has Learned

1. Never underestimate the value of free food! Long after the other kids are enjoying their pinata candy, continue filling your pockets!

2. You can add strange ingredients to meals without ruining the taste! Mommy's favorite special ingredient...canned pumpkin. Parker's...crayons and blocks!

3. Roasted hot dogs taste much better with a little dirt mixed in!

5. Since daddy likes giving horsey rides, Avery must enjoy it too! (Sorry...no picture...quick intervention necessary!)

6. Chasing and wrestling cute girls can be a lot of fun...

...especially when they play hard-to-get!

His Girlfriend's Back!

For the past several months, my friend Evelyn and I have taken turns going out of town, having family visit, having sick kids, etc. Parker was so excited when he found out his girlfriend, Ellie was back in town and was coming over this morning. He got the stroller ready to show off, got his monkey all spiffed up, and was on his unusually best behavior! Yay for sweet reunions!

And Baby Ammon (one of the many boys I plan on lining Avery up with) isn't such a baby anymore! I'm all for arranged marriages...we'll see what my kids think!
