Of Cactuses, baked beans, and broken boxes

Cactuses

Yes sirree folks, you are looking at the latest creation of Kaitlinn. Her pre-school had a Cowboy day at school. Pictured below is Kaitlinn's creation --- what amounts to a green painted potato with a lot of toothpicks. Laugh it up while you can, they probably laughed at Michelangelo when he drew on the ceiling of his room as a kid.


Baked Beans

We did not realize that baked beans had a dozing effect on 1 year olds. Well lasting until dinner without a nap can create this result. I kept thinking in my mind the scene from "Mr. Mom," in which several repair men are in the house when their toddler comes around the corner in a walker with a can of chili and a spoon. One of their repairmen asks the main character, "you fed a baby chili?" With that all 3 repairmen are next seen screeching out of the neighborhood. Well, we survived -- although we should give it another day to have the baked beans process through. Anyone know where I can buy a gas mask?


Broken boxes

The girls joined with their cousin Xavier to make the most out of a card board box. When we found out we would be watching Xavier, I thought we would need to pull out some old Sesame Street videos, little did we know we should have gone to Mailboxes Etc., to get supplies for the night. It was a very enjoyable night. The girls really enjoyed playing with Xavier. I am looking forward to seeing them grow up together.
