turkey hat and chicken wire

I am just in love with my kids today, the little cuties. Preslie has been telling me how crazy I am lately, so I take it upon myself to prove her right. I love when she looks at me when I'm doing something wacky and says, "Mom." But behind her tone she's really saying, "you are embarrassing yourself". But she and I have a lot of fun singing songs together at the top of our lungs. Any song at all, especially ones I make up on the spot, she sings along trying to guess what I'll sing next. I love it.


Hunter is cracking me up lately. He is so grown up but still so innocent. I love to see how excited he gets about preschool, it is the only time he gets dressed in under an hour. He held his head high as he got in the car after school today so I'd notice his hat he made.

This afternoon he asked me, "Mom, why is that candy bar called Milky Way?"
me: "Um, I don't know, probably because it is made with milk."
him: "And it makes your belly as big as a milk jug."

So true.

We are back rolling on the house; we secured some sheetrockers that started today and Craig put the black paper on the outside. I threw up a few staples on the chicken wire. If only I had a Mack-sitter, I'd love to get my hands dirty and actually build my house. Another house, another time I guess.

It is coming together so nicely! I love it. It probably seems so slow to you, but it seems like it's flying by :)

What a cute post. I love the turkey hat. Those are always fun to make. We make Indian vests from paper sacks too. Well, we used to. I can't convince K to do it this year. Anyway, the house is coming along so well. I think it's going up fast, and the weather seems to be very cooperative, so that's a blessing in disguise huh?
