To Trap a Leprachaun

Kyndi had an assigment at school to creat some sort of Leprechaun trap.  She had a blast creating hers...

The idea here is that he will see the rainbow and decide to find the pot of gold at the end....

 He'll open the door...

 Follow the Shamrock pathway...

Walk into the cup to the (fools) gold inside, and his feet would be completely stuck to the sticky gel tape inside!

**Update: She took it to school today and the leprechaun didn't get trapped, BUT he did make a disaster of their room while they were gone on a leprechaun hunt - and left footprints of paint everywhere - and left a piece of gold in her trap! (A cluster of gold sequins) 

When did she...

...Get big enough to do this?  

Or this??

 Or this??  (She started out on the floor right next to me, and within 5 minutes, she was in the hall!)

 ...Or get such chunky cheeks??

 ...Or get so stinkin cute?!?!

She's growing up way too fast - and soon she'll be crawling (she's already figured out how to rock on her hands and knees - she scoots backwards while doing so)

Dialogue in the Car

Recent Dialogue in the car...

Oaklee: I love white
Dayton: I do too
O: And I love yellow
D: Yep
O: and chocolate
D: and me too
O: I love all the colors, I love everything! Except 'Hey Soul Sister'!

(Thats the song that me and Oaks are not fond of...)

Jersi's Tricks

Jersi has a whole plethora of tricks...

She waves her hand by rotating her wrists and stares at it while doing so
She squeals a high pitched "Ya"
And lately she's been saying alot of "ga-ga and da-da" babble whilst playing
She Poses - puts her left hand cupping her ear and right arm outstretched
She clicks her tongue, almost constantly.
While playing on the floor, daddy will smack the floor and she'll copy him almost every time
She is by far my worst child for picking up random stuff and putting it in her mouth
She gets up on her hands and knees and head bangs to the radio
She's super mobile - but I haven't figured out how yet...

Um, What?!?

Oaklee approached me today, looking like this:

Penelope and Jersi

Mu sisters recently trekked down to my end of the planet for a visit.  While here they made fun cookies with the kids and it was a fabulous time.  That being said I have no pictures of said event except this one:

Wowzer Kyndi...
BUT I do have a photoshoot of Samantha with Jersi.
We tried and tried to get Jersi to look at the camera and smile... after that failed - well... you just see what happened...

And Finally...(sort of)

Fort Dayton

Kyndi and the Littles are always constructing blanket forts... On this particular day, Dayton made one all by himself and its my favorite of all!

6 Months in Pics

Wow - so behind on this post - but here are her 6 month pictures!!

The facial expression in this one reminds me of Dayton:

Oh my gosh, She's cute!!!

Thumbs and Toes

Jersi does two things none of my other kids have really ever done...

The Bathtime Craze

Jersi goes absolutely Psycho in the tub these days...

When Sleep Calls..

I suppose when sleep calls, you don't question it, you just succumb to the delightfulness of it...

Dayton the past few weeks...
Here, he was sitting next to me on the couch enjoying cartoons...

Oaks and Tona were watching cartoons in my room. Oaklee says, "uh mom, can you move him?!"

Some where I have one of him on his closet shelf - and another of him all hunched hilariously in a chair... I'll hafta vamp up my search and find those...

You Can Never Have Too Many Socks...

Apparently you can never have too many socks... Just ask Oaks.She was helping me fold socks and suddenly disappeared on me - when she returned, her feet were HUGE. She had put every sock on that she owns! Funny girl! It looked like she had big ol' casts on each foot!

These pictures don't do it justice...
