I love the “photo journalistic” style of the last two pictures – just very in the moment capturing the kids talking to each other.?? This is THE LAST of this series so this week I’ll post camping pictures.?? I am working on Ryker’s pictures tonight.<\/p>\n

******************<\/p>\n

Yesterday Tori was not letting me drink my ice water in silence so I finally caved and let her see if she could sip from my cup.?? She could.?? Then she screamed to high heaven when I took my glass away.?? That was stupid of me.??<\/p>\n

Jim has nicknamed her “Lazy Susan” lately because she can get nearly anywhere spinning in circles.?? (Do you know what a Lazy Susan is?)<\/p>\n

This week she managed to get a good two feet off her playmat and was trying to press the red light on our speakers.?? Great.?? Another button pusher.?? Just what we need.<\/p>\n

About an hour ago, I had her on her play mat in my bedroom and within minutes she worked herself off of it and was trying to get into a box of books and trying to eat computer chords.?? Yikes.?? She is so quick to get into mischief already.?? She is nearly out of her bumbo at this very minute – pause to remedy that – now she is in my lap and wants the mouse – sheesh Louise.?? She is sooo sooo close to an army crawl and it is frustrating her that she can’t quite get it.<\/p>\n

**************************<\/p>\n

Following is a conversation with my SIL from this afternoon.?? I have mentioned before that I come from a family of “shoe snobs” of which I am the lowly outcast.?? Conversations such as these are fairly typical.?? This may not be verbatim but the heart of the conversation is definitely there.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Scene:?? After morning church standing under the front pavillion.<\/p>\n

Doni:?? Shoot!?? I just broke the heel off my shoe.<\/p>\n

Brooke:?? How did you do that?<\/p>\n

Doni:?? I don’t know I was just standing her and it broke off.??<\/p>\n

Brooke:?? Can you fix it?<\/p>\n

Doni:?? No but maybe I can break the heel off the other shoe and have two flats to get me home.?? (That??didn’t work).<\/p>\n

Brooke:?? That’s too bad because those shoes weren’t half bad.<\/p>\n

Doni:?? Yes and they were only about a year old.?? See this is why I shouldn’t stray from Payless because my cheap shoes seem to last forever.<\/p>\n

Brooke:?? Because you wear them until they fall apart.<\/p>\n

Doni:?? Well this is not good because I don’t want my shoes to interrupt my lunch plans.<\/p>\n

Brooke:?? Well you better cross Olive Garden off your list.?? Looks like it is Taco Bell for you.?? :).?? Pam gave me a pair of shoes today – maybe they will fit you.<\/p>\n

(Tried on shoes – they worked)<\/p>\n

Brooke:?? Here is what I don’t get though.?? If God was going to prearrange a solution to your shoe problem, you would have thought He would have color coordinated.?? (Black dress, brown sandals).?? Pause.?? Well…I guess He didn’t because….well…it’s you.<\/p>\n
