Little Red

Here's a story of Little Red.
Mom is making sugar cookies one evening, and the girls are helping, playing and taking turns getting a bath.
The conversation went something like this.

Little Red: Mom, can I take a bath with my sister?
Mom: No, I want you to wait and take one after.

-Little Red disappears for a while and comes back completely in the buff.

Mom: Little Red, I told you no bath right now.
Little Red: (cheerfully) I know, I'm just going to help you while I wait.
Mom: (patiently) Well, I think you should put on a robe or something.
Little Red: (patiently) Mom, Sometimes I wait naked, and sometimes I don't. But this time I am, so... (big smile)

After trying not to laugh hysterically and getting a quick snapshot, she found a robe. ...or did she just get in the bath with her sister? One never quite knows with the baby of the family.

Please indulge the parents in just one more kids are crazy story.

This same child was given some raisins on Sunday in those cute little red boxes. When she was done, she didn't know where the trash was, and she didn't have any pockets, so she flattened the boxes and stuck them in her sandals. So as she walked, if you looked you could see raisin boxes sticking out from under her heals. She was quite pleased with herself (and with the reaction she received from everyone else, and why not? Such ingenuity.)

Kid's Favorites, Vacation Highlights









June saw our little family on vacation to see the folks, visit friends and hug Our Favorite GI, (Topper's brother) who was home on r&r from his Iraq deployment. Here are the pictures that the girls picked to post.





Here is Chickadee feeling like a caveman in a little African hut and the tiger at the zoo.


















Big Red is enjoying the Science Center with Grammy Nanna, and the zoo with Gram.






























Yippy-Skippy loves the zoo, and loves to play with the children of some good friends.










We hadn't seen the Rubble family for almost four years. What a treat to hang out with them again!






































We took a four generation photo with Nonnie, Great Grandpa, Grammy Nanna, Topper, and girls. What fun!













And here is Our Favorite GI being a good Uncle to Little Red.












What a fun trip! We love you all!
