Early Summer!

These kids are so funny! Ikey is in his room singing TB's favorite Akon song "Sorry, Blame It On Me". Weird choice for TB I know, but there's no explaining taste. Ikey's version goes, "You can put the train on me...on me... You can put the train on me..."

Ikey has added "consequences" to all of his requests. For example, "If you don't give me oatmeal, I'm going to take my clothes off and put them in the fridge." Other classics include, "If you don't let me play in the sandbox, I'm going to wear my new Crocs in my bed." The scariest one is, "If you don't let me stay up, I'm going to take off all my clothes and get in your bed with my dirty bum." Jovie has started saying, "Don't threaten me, Ikey."

Jovie told me about her cousin, "I like Chloe. She's so nice. She has a round head."

Jovie makes up a rhyme for just about everything she says. TB was on his way out the door for an overnight trip and she said, "Do you have to go to work like a jerk jerk?" TB said it was demoralizing.

Ikey told Jovie I was making muffins and she said, "She's quite a baker!"

Jovie's latest joke is to call me Grandfather. She thinks it's hilarious and she just laughs and laughs.

Jovie's favorite word yesterday was "appetizer". She told me she had an appetizer on her arm (just a scrape really) and one on her foot (toenail) and requested appetizers for dinner.

I started doing triathlons again since the babies are bigger and I'm smaller. I did one in May in Kearns and one in June in Daybreak.TB is so nice to "sponsor" me and the kids are great at cheering.
