Friends Forever

Since school was out today we invited the Cluff kids over for a play date.

The kids all had a really fun time jumping on the trampoline.

Zowie and Marin even picked a bunch of cherry tomatoes for me.

We had a great time watching the play and seeing Preston perform. His line in the play was....................

"Your Majesty please, it's all his fault."

Don't Bananas Make Great Phones?

Is Barney Evil??

When Preston and Marin were little I taught them that Barney was an "icky show" and that we didn't watch "icky shows". Then with Kirsten (when she was little) I was trying every type of show and she didn't like any of them, but she would sit and watch Barney and Teletubbies. Well, I gave up on the whole "icky show" idea.

Kirsten and Emma both will watch Barney on occasion, but they prefer Dora the Explorer.

Apparently Barney was on this morning and this is what happened.......

Kirsten came up to me while I was getting ready this morning and said,

"I want to sing a song for you." I said "okay".

Here is what she sang.......

I love you, you love me. We're a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love me too? I love you!!

If you know Kirsten at all this was a huge deal. She was being cute, loving, and smiling!! That is not usually how she is. Kirsten then started teaching the song to Emma and then to the baby doll with the microphone.
