April 27, 2014 Bike ride, church mittens.

 Rex and I went to the store to get one last brick to complete our project he was less then enthusiastic.  He complained that he wanted to go home with out the brick.  We went for one thing.  He pouted the whole time.

He has been doing odd things like that he told Chloe this week as she was getting dress, "You look totally ugly and too much fantastic!"

our raised garden bed ready for planting. It took two yards to fill this baby up.  Hopefully we will be able to grow something this year.

 Bike ride.  We went out and Rex would put his cold hands up my jacket and snuggle in.  Chloe was a champion and rode the whole time.  She was an animal.  She is getting more and more comfortable riding her bike.

 Chloe was asking Mike to tell her a story, she asked for a huge list of super hero's.  Mike replied he couldn't keep track of that many hero's she could choose four while he was driving.  She narrowed down the list and then asked, "is that a more appropriate amount?"

 They're fancy.

April 20, 2014 Easter

 Rex came home from church with this picture last week.  I asked who all the people were.  He enthusiastically pointed and said: (right to left)This is you mommy, daddy, chloe, Rex, Grandma, Grandpa, Schuyler and Ike. I love how he signed his name with the RE in the corner and the X below

Mike went to VA this week.

 After swimming we went on errands and got dinner.  Rex ate that entire piece of pizza on his own.

 Mom do I look homelss?  Chloe asked on our way to the dr. She and Rex were both sick and got antibiotics.  I was just sick.  We'll see if we can kick this cold this time around with antibiotics.

 Chloe drew a nativity scene.  Mary, Joseph, donkey, baby Jesus, Christmas tree, the new star and the night sky.  She has aspirations to leave it up until Christmas.

 Rex thought employing the hole in his hat like this was the best use.

Rex indignantly:"Will you buy me owl pants?  You should have bought me owl pants!"

Me defensively:" I don't even know where you buy owl pants!

Rex superior tone:"I know where you can buy them, at the owl pants store!"

The duh was implied.

All week Chloe and Rex have been pretending to be cats left on our door step. Chloe's name is Pearl, Rex's name is Rainbow....Yeah.
