opinions

 This girl is getting opinions.  My mom gave her these little shoes that squeak when she walks and she brings them to me all the time so I can put them on her.  They're her favorite.  Today I pulled out this raincoat that my sister loaned me and Allie stuck her arms out so I could put it on her (which she's never done before) and would not take it off all day.   Even when she played in this little pool and got the sleeves soggy wet, she wouldn't take it off.  When I would start to undo it she'd throw a fit, crying and swinging her arms at me and grabbing the coat.  It seems she's turning kind of bratty; she moved a little bit closer to 2 today.

Something new, at least

Okay, enough of "School's Over."  I need to revitalize this blog, it's getting a little stale.  The problem is I don't have much to say at the moment.  So maybe some pictures? 

 Eating rocks. YUMM!

Something feels weird up there . . .

We took a trip to Idaho last weekend and had a great time with my family. 

There was a huge hail storm which was really cool.  And yummy; the kids gathered it and ate it.

The best part was bringing home salamanders.  While we were there we had 3 in a container, which escaped during the night into the house (Milissa was not happy about that, and who can blame her, eh?).  So we got 2 more, then found the three fugitives.They are really smelly, and eat nasty slugs and worms, so I'm not sure how long they'll be staying.

 Allie wasn't always thrilled about Grandma.  She has no idea what she's missing out on.  It won't be long before she knows grandma is way more awesome than mom.

It was a good vacation.
Hmm.  Idaho.  That seems like a nice place to live . . .
