I Get a Kick Out of You

Oh how I wish I had had a camera today. Max did not take a nap today so when we all left in the car to go get pizza, (Hooray! Little Ceaser's has finally come to Bentonville,) he quickly fell asleep. Now Bella Vista is all hills and sharp curves, so he was jostled around quite a bit. Eventually his head fell forward and rested upon Baby Mae's car seat base. Well it didn't take long before she noticed and began kicking him in the head. Funniest thing I have seen in my entire 28 years. This is the kind of thing that would have won America's Funniest Home Video. She just kept full on kicking him in the head, and because she is so small and not very powerful he didn't wake up. This went on for over 5 minuets until we changes directions and his head went back up. Oh if only I had had my camera today.

Jump, For My Love

Mae loves her Jumparoo. Bounce, bounce, bounce all the time. Last week I was in the kitchen and I could hear her bouncing in the living room. When I came in a few minuets later I found her asleep in the jumparoo. Bounced herself to sleep.

So Busy

We have kocked our non-paying renters out and are painting/cleaning like crazy to get the house on the market. So so busy. Here are a few pictures to tide you over til my next post.

Explain Yourself

Okay so our brand new laptop died a week and a half ago, so it is still in the shop and I am on our slow as molasses desktop in the basement. Our camera also died this week. Added to that is the bizarre project mode I have been in. My bedroom and living room are now both painted, and lots of other mini projects have been done. So that is why the posts have been few and far between. When the laptop comes back I will blog and bore you all. Congratulations to my friend Kasey who won my first giveaway. Pictures and responses to all your posts to come soon. And finally happy birthday to Maxed Out! 2 years this past priesthood session.
