The Best Day Ever

Behind our house we have a wonderful canyon, complete with a stream, deer, coyote, etc.

With all the recent rains we also have Vernal Pools. Basically muddy pools of water. But we got enough rain this year to bring the frogs out.

So these pools were full of tadpoles.


We got our tadpole hunting gear, a cup and plastic bag.

and caught us some tadpoles

That night Garrett exclaimed it was the best day ever. He explained it this way.

"Dad that was so cool catching a pet. We should never buy a pet, just catch them. I love that"

Imaginary Friend Update

Me: Thomas, let's go downstairs

Thomas: Mom, Russ wants to come too

Me: Thomas, you know that Russ isn't real, right?

Thomas: oh yes, yes, Russ not real Mom

Thomas: (turning to the wall) Russ, you're not real. You're not real Russ. K, let's go

Terrible Twos

Every once in awhile this whole sleep deprivation thing really catches up to me, like this morning. Breakfast was all cleaned up, everyone was dressed and we were ready to go hit Costco when all of a sudden I felt like I was going to pass out from fatigue (that's what consecutive interrupted sleep will do to me). I put Emerson down for a nap and told Thomas that I needed a nap too and to be good and play in his room. I swear I was only out for 30 minutes and this is what I woke up to. Thomas had moved the rugs in the kitchen, scooted a chair to the fridge and taken down my dinner calender dry-erase board... and dry-erase marker. By the way, yes, it is "dry-erase" but no, it doesn't come off as easily as you'd think.

So, this is what my fridge looked like

Here are some close-ups

Here is my table

Here is my wood floor

Here is the cloth on my kitchen chairs. Oh yes, try getting that out!

Here's Thomas' sock

Here's Thomas' foot

and more of the foot

So how was your day?

SNOW in Frisco!

After a full day of rain showers (midnight till 8pm)... the temperatures also continued to drop and drop and drop and drop all day long... we now have SNOW!

You can only imagine the excitement! We will be praying that the snow will continue to FALL all night long - it's a hope and the forecast looks promising!
