Apples Don't Fall Far...

Two ways I absolutely KNOW -- without a doubt -- that Thomas Guerard is the Daddy of these two kids:

#1: Me: "Parker! Don't shine your flashlight in your sister's eyes!"

Parker: "But, Mommy, how 'bout her eyebrows? Can I shine it in her eyeBROWS?"

**************************

#2 Turner to me: "Most of the dinosaur fossils were found in Asia and Africa, right mom?"

Me (astounded): "How do you know that?" Turner: "PBS Kids."

Bunk Beds!

We put up Parker's awesome new bunk beds today! Uncle Clete did an amazing job making these, and our little guy was so SO SO excited. His reaction: "Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!!! Look at my BUNK BEDS!"

The transition has been completely smooth, and Sissy is already begging to have a slumber party in Parker's room. He's pledged the top bunk to her!

Visited by Leprechauns!!!

The leprechauns visited our house last night while we were sleeping!!! Uh-oh! Happy St. Patty's Day!

Mini Me Pick Me Up

Shortly after we moved in our house here in Peachtree City, my parents were visiting and helping us get settled. Mom was working in the yard, and Turner was "helping." Our sweet neighbors, The Hoods, stopped their car and introduced themselves. Mary Wall's mother was visiting her at the time, too. Mom introduced herself, and then said, "And this little girl is Turner." Mary Wall's mother's mouth fell open in disbelief. Because...guess what her name is? TURNER!!! Now...how many women do you think have the name Turner in this world? Not too many!

Needless to say, we have a very special place in our hearts for "Ms. Turner."

We found out this week that she was in town visiting and had some unexpected health problems come up. So, Turner and I decided to bring her some cheer! Turner painted this lovely lady bug picture.

On the way to deliver it, Turner said, "Mom, if Ms. Turner is sick, we probably shouldn't be visiting her. We don't want to catch it." To which I responded by trying to describe some of her ailments, which weren't contagious.

"Turner, Ms. Turner has something called a slipped disc in her back, which makes it hurt really bad."

"Ohhhhh....I get it, mom. So she has a slipped CD?"

Gotta love our techno savvy generation!!!

***********************
Parker gave Ms. Turner his own gift and sang "Jesus Loves Me" to her! So sweet!

Mixed Up Dress Up

Mean Pirate!
Not So Dainty Princess
Complete with satin gloves and pretty locks!


(Parker chose his "ensemble" and insisted he nap in it).
There is probably very little hope for him.
But, he is precious, precious, precious!!! However he dresses!

The Neverending Birthday...

Turner has mastered the art of stretching out a birthday! We took cupcakes to school on Monday, and she enjoyed (once again) being queen for the day.

Potty Humor

I was changing Parker's diaper the other day, and he looked down, laughed and said, "Mommy, I see my pee-pee!"

"Mommy, I touch my pee-pee!"

"HI, pee-pee!"

....So I guess he has officially discovered his "boy" parts!

*************************

On a related note, Turner was trying to get him to go potty the other day. He wasn't going. So, she said, "Parker, just pull on that thing, and you'll go pee-pee!"
