Singing cousins

2-16 kids

I tossed and turned last night. I’d had 3 Cokes the day before and the last one about 7pm so I was wide awake what seemed like all night.

I had another one of those “set my alarm” days ahead and was going to be on the go all day. So, when my wake up call came, I had to get up in spite of my restless night and start the day. I showered, dressed and rounded up kids. I made waffles, gathered stuff I needed for the day in my bag, loaded the van. The kids helped me gather up the five puppies that are left and pack them in too. We were off.

I got about 2 miles down the road and realized we were an hour early for our first stop. I never do that. We came back home.

When we finally did leave, there was a violin lesson, some horseback riding, puppy shots and grooming and a little time with these two cuties while I waited.

2-16 sing

Watching two two year olds play and listening to them communicate is so much fun. Tess found these two pipes and they became microphones (everything is a microphone to her right now). She ordered Rowdy to sing.

They are so entertaining. You should really get you some two year olds if you’re ever feeling bored.

2-16 singers

These two have another little two year old cousin that I wished I could have been today with them. I know she would have been the life of the party.

Won’t you let your kids come play, Whitney?

    Aaawww! I wish my just-about-2-year-old could come play. It would be cute to watch. Sounds like a busy day. And don’t ya hate it when you rush around and then find you were ahead by an hour?! It’s good to be ahead but, wow, it’s annoying when it happens that way! At least you had it all together when you left the second time. ;) LOL

    Running an hour early? That never happens here either…at least it gave you an extra hour in your day. :)

    You must keep your camera with you 24/7…you always seem to be capturing precious shots!

    I’m a big Diet Coke drinker too, but I have learned that I have to cut myself off by about 3, or I will be in for a long night!

    Addison would have loved it! Maybe we can come down that way soon now that the weather is nice!

    i try to take my camera with me whenever i go somewhere. i don’t always
    remember, but i grab it if i’m specifically going to be sitting and waiting.
    that’s always a good time for me to play.

    i usually only have1 coke a day and never after 4 pm. i was in town all day
    and if i don’t have a bottle of water, i won’t order water from a fast food
    place (tastes weird). i only drink water, coke and milk so that really
    limits what i can get. i try to always bring a water bottle with me.

    into that song.
