Jail....

Here's a story that Debbie related to me. She has all the funny ones of Ryan and Katelyn. Last week, Debbie's dad (who used to be the chief of police) was at her house. Ryan and Katelyn love Grandpa! Somehow they got on the subject of Ryan and Katelyn reading this last school year.

Debbie told her dad that they would bring home "baggie" books. Baggie books are loaner library books that the librarian picks for them at their grade level- the kids have no choice in what they get. If Ryan and Katelyn didn't want to read the book that was picked for them because maybe it looked to hard, or the pictures were not so good, they would write my initials, or Debbie's or Wes' on the card.

Debbie's dad told them that they shouldn't do that. He told them it was against the law and they would go to jail for forgery. To which the conversation proceeded something like this:

Ryan: So, I want to go to jail.

Katelyn: Yeah, me too!

Gpa: No you don't want to go to jail. All they have is a bed to sleep and sit on, a toilet in the room, and all they get to eat is moldy bread and water.

Katelyn: Oh, you mean like church???

Out of the mouthes of babes!!!!

A New Friend

I took Katelyn to the new neighbors house to meet their little girl. Katelyn and Savannah are the same age. I thought that they may like to play together.

While waiting for them to answer the door Katelyn took a look around the front porch.

"Mom, I just don't think I'm going to like this."

"Why not?", I asked.

To this she put her hands out and did the "Vanna White" gesture to the items on the front porch...

DOLLS!

Birthday Time!!!

Well it was birthday time again at our place. Ryan and Katelyn are finally two...ok seven, they just act two sometimes. It must be a twin thing.Here's Katelyn with her cake... Wonder Woman...who would've guessed????Here is Ryan and his cake. Batman...he almost didn't get the cake. He threw a fit because it wasn't chocolate. It started out chocolate but due to a technical issue I had start over...don't ask!Here is Katelyn with her haul.

Here is Ryan with his...don't you love the pose?

I attempted to post a few pictures of all the nice gifts they received at their party...like the new Zhu Zhu pets, the games, the sidewalk chalk, the cute clothes, the bike helmets, the Superfriends DVD, and the Wonder Woman complete series DVD...BUT...google just did not want to upload any more pictures for me tonight. Five must be my limit when I don't post everyday! Thanks to everyone for the nice things that I will likely get to clean-up nearly everyday for the next year. (Except for the sidewalk chalk. They plan to use that at Aunt Becs!)Wes and I got them bikes for their big day. I REALLY wish they could already ride them. It's going to be a loooooong summer. Do you know how hard it is to balance kids on bikes these days? What ever happened to banana bike seats with a handle on the back? I can't quite figure out where to hold them...handle bars or shoulders????? I just may give in and buy training wheels yet...
