Interesting stuff

So to continue on the "Mom, you're old" front - last night K1 and I went to open swim at the local H.S. K1 was a bit too chicken the 1st time on the diving board (I was treading water to catch her). So she walked back to the shallow end of the pool. Well, lil miss thang realized her Mom wasn't quite what she expected as I swam back to the other end and more than beat her. The girl's jaw hit the floor and no words came out. I rendered the little motor mouth speechless - NOT a small feat these days...WAHOO! Score 1 for all the 'old' Moms out there!

Sunday K2 and I went to a local parade - as we were crossing the Mississippi River K2 asked what river that was. So I asked him to say it...and out came "Mister Sippy River". Pretty close! How cute is THAT?

Today we set up a complete Little People village in our rec room. The goal of Ks 1&2 while setting up was to take up as much of the room as possible. They completely succeeded. We're talking about an area that's at least 12 x 15. So K3 was playing with the farm portion. She is just starting to make her animal sounds. They don't necessarily match the animal she was playing with - the horse obviously doesn't say 'baa baa baa' - but gosh it was darn cute.

Made blueberry jam for the 1st time this evening. YUM. I completely left my brain elsewhere when starting. I dumped everything into the pot right away. Nice going, huh? So I called Grandma to see if she'd ever done that before and if so, did it turn out OK. Well, I told her what I did - and she laughed her butt off. Thanks a lot Grandma!! Oh well, at least I brought some laughter to her day. And yes, just so YOU know, the jam turned out JUST FINE - thankyouverymuch. And I get to eat most of it. And if you come to my house and be extra special nice to me, I just MAY let you try some....maybe. hehehe.
