   = = = = just some shots of the in and out randomness of our days from the past weeks = = = =

  Ben’s Find::
  
  
    

  I got in the van one afternoon to have this ugly thing looking up at me.
  I think Ben said it’s a crawfish. And in that last shot he says it’s waving.
  But crawfish must be related to frogs – they have the same expression don’t ya think?

  Creations from Boredom::
  
  

  Drawing on old shirts. Ben’s became a flag. and Emma’s became a proclamation of who she obviously loves best!

  

  Masks from animal plates a friend gave us.

  

  Homemade bird feeder out of pine cone covered in peanut butter and sprinkled with bird seed.

  
  
  Father’s day craft to hang on the van mirror – made from love, not boredom.

  Sleepy Mornings::
  
  
  Watching me while I make breakfast.

  Content {non fighting} Afternoons::

  Kate’s Hair::
  
  
   
  Her hair is so thick it’s crazy. When it gets too long it just begins to get knotted and constantly tangled. And since last time I tried cutting it myself it left us with two options – a. Kate walk with her head tilted to one side for months on end so people wouldn’t notice how lopsided it was. b. never let mom cut your hair again. We went with b. And ended up going to a beauty school a few weeks ago for the much needed trim. They’re really great places to go… if you have a strong bladder and can sit for six hours at a time!

  With Friends::

  With Shoes::
  
  
  Kate and Ben are in a production Les Miserable this summer  and Ben plays a beggar – we weren’t quite sure how to make his shoes look tattered and worn. Then… we had an idea!

  Some funny flubs from June::
  
  
  Shayne and Ben were going somewhere in the truck together…
  
  “Dad, ya know what’s the hottest girl I ever saw?”
  
  “Uh.. what did you say?”
  
  “The hottest girl! Do you know which it was?”
  
  Shayne said he felt himself becoming rapidly nervous and answered hesitantly….
  
  “Um… which… one?”
  
  Ben leaned toward him with excitement on his face and animation in his voice…
  
  “It’s on the new Ford F-250. It’s chrome and super sweet…”
  
  Shayne let out a sigh of relief.
  
  “OH!… You mean grill, not girl!!!”
  
  Ben looked at him with a “duh?” kind of expression.
  
  I hope he keeps that “duh?” look when it comes to girls for much much longer!
  
    = = = =
  
  My pregnancy brain doesn’t always communicate with my mouth properly.
  
  “Hey guys… sit up and finish your tacos!”
  
  I see three confused faces looking up at me. Glancing at their plates I see why..
  
  “I guess I mean waffles!”
  
  And when Emma was asking over and over to keep a dog that uncle Scott said he would give her –
  
  “No sweetie. We couldn’t possibly have one more job.”
  
  Again the confused looks tell me…
  
  “I mean dog.”
  
  
  
    = = =

  And overhearing Emma from the back of the van saying…

  “Well you are fart Benny, and Tate is. But God is the fartest of all.”

  Shayne looks at me and opens his mouth to ask what I’ve been allowing his kids to talk like in his absence – - as I hurriedly assure him,

  “Smart, babe. She’s saying smart.”

  Everything with a s sound comes out like an f.

  smile = file
  sparkle = farkles 
  uncle scott = uncle fott
  swim = fim

  You get the idea.

           = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

  Goodbye June~ Your days held alot of “feet” memories for us.
