Ready to get Creative!

Nana made Alex a paint shirt for pre-school!  When I was little my sister and I each had our own paint shirts for school too.  Mom made Alex one just like ours with his name on the back and a dump truck on the front!  He loves it and REALLY loves art days at school!

Already!!!???

My dad is here staying with us while he helps with harvest.  We had to laugh the other night as we were both in the great room with Alex and Brecke and we were getting ready to turn the TV to Wheel of Fortune (the kids love that show), and before we turned the channel, Inside Edition was reporting on the previous night's Emmy Awards.  As we briefly watched the women on the red carpet, Alex says "ooooh pretty girls"!  Dad and I both looked at each other and laughed.  He is starting young admiring the pretty ladies!!

Stripper in the House

We have a stripper in the house!  She goes through different phases. First it was just unzipping a little, but would pick at her diaper through her jammies and get it unhooked so the diaper was just hanging in her jammies.  Fix=duct tape the front of her diapers.  Second, it is complete unzip but just sit in unzipped jammies.  Third, is this...

At least the diaper is still on!!  Doesn't she look so proud!!?

A Perfect Family Night

The kids and I headed out to the field to join Daddy for some farming.  Alex hopped in the combine with Uncle Brett, while Brecke, Daddy, and I ran the auger wagon.  She loved it and had to have said "tractor" a hundred times.  She laid claim to the CB/radio and pretty much didn't let anyone talk on it!

That is the "DO NOT try and take this radio from me" look!!!!

We may live in the heart of Illini Country, but the Barnards are diehard Cyclones fans too! It was a great victory and the only thing better than watching the game would have been to be there! We were dressed in our cardinal and gold and did lots of ISU chants!!!
