Burpee seed catalog

During dinner, L and I reviewed the latest Burpee seed catalog-getting the gardening juices flowing. As we flipped the pages, Lauren was so excited about all the pretty flowers and veggies....and she said: "Let's just get every single thing in this book!" ....awesome!

more kid humor

this past week, Lauren was saying that her arm pits and then her leg pits and her neck pits were hot...

good quote...

Tonight, while eating dinner, Lauren was eating some bread and said:

"I love crust...if it had lips, I would kiss it." ~love it!

ant-plants

after leaving mass and driving past a home across the street from Church, Lauren says... 'hey, there are a lot of ant-plants there.' ~meaning peonies...which typically have a lot of ants on them :)

all right

"Corn chips are my favorite corn!"

excitement and joy

Lauren was excited on two 'new' fronts today...(never experienced)

~ after getting the '2nd' train to function...a raised arms 'awesome!' was exclaimed!

~ on the Melles Park (train park) detention pond hill for the 1st time sledding ... a snow filled face of joy!

You see me now

Most of this year, when I come home from work and say to Lauren...

"I've missed you!"

she says w/o hesitation...

"It's good that you see me now."
