Sawyer has had me in stitches today!! It’s so funny what kids hear and interpret… She was hanging out with her buddy Caiden the other day and they were discussing the neighbor’s dog, Pepper.
Pepper is getting up there in age and doesn’t have much of her hearing left, poor thing. According to Sawyer, which is according to Caiden, Pepper lost her “earring” and has been looking for it.
I’m pretty sure she meant ‘hearing,’ I’m just not sure which kid was confused first!

We were eating lunch and she had another funny misunderstanding!
Sawyer: Remember when we played wedding the other day? What was your favorite part?
Me: I liked the rehearsal dinner you hosted.
Sawyer: And what else?
Me: I liked taking pictures of you in your wedding dress?
Sawyer: And what else?
Me: Well, those were my two favorite things…
Sawyer: I thought you liked the part where they say, “You may now kiss the prize!”
I like her thinking…. 😉

We’ve been working on a few Father’s Day surprises around here.
Sawyer answered these questions about her daddy yesterday. I think these were made to get funny answers but our little smarty knew all the right ones.
Today, they colored special pictures…
We’ve got to finish wrapping presents, bake a cake and then do a little decorating…that may or may not involve cow cutouts and bidding cards.

I was doing laundry earlier and was thinking how much effort it really wasn’t. I just toss the clothes in the white box, pour in some soap and shut the lid! Same with drying; toss them in the other white box, shut the door and away I go! I remember my grandma talking about washing clothes with a washboard and wringer…with four kids. We don’t have a clue. It’s just another reason (in my book) that we don’t have any excuses as parents to not spend good one-on-one, life-investing time with our kids. We most definitely have more distractions than our elders, but not near as much necessary work.

Sawyer has been interested in weather for a while now. Probably because I’ve had my eye on it a few times here in the last couple of months. Today, she found her microphone and started playing “weather girl.” Before I knew it, she had gotten her map out of her desk and was really going to town! I hung it up for her so she could “stand in front of it like they do on TV.”
I’ll have to get a video of her forecasting; she’s pretty good!

The sod has rooted down nicely and the flowers are really taking off!
Wrexy sprayed weeds around the property this morning and it’s time to mow again if the dew will stay down and the sun will shine a little. So thankful for all of this mildness and moisture, though…
******************
We have a busy weekend ahead of us…two birthday parties, a cow to breed, Father’s Day celebrations, yard work, giving daddy a day of rest (and a bunch of History/Discovery channel watching)…
And then…next weekend…the girl bestie and her family are coming to visit!!! We are so excited we can hardly see straight!
It’s been too long! Praying the weekend drags on and on and on…

Happy Thursday!
