Teeth?

I don't have any pictures, but my children make me laugh, and sometimes I just can't help but share.
Both Princess and Buddy are taking violin lessons and for the most part they love them.  Their teacher is wonderful and she is always using her creativity to teach the kids. 

This week Buddy is playing a song about a monkey.  "I'm a little monkey, climbing up a ladder, climbing to the top to, get a pink banana, I'm a little monkey, climbing down the ladder, climbing to the bottom, eat a pink banana"   Well, she drew a picture of a banana tree and asked Buddy to figure out what she was drawing.  He wasn't getting it and kept guessing random things,  a zoo, a flower, a car.... finally, she gave him a hint.  "They are yellow" 

Buddy's response... "Is it teeth?"   - I guess he thinks all teeth are yellow and grow on trees. 

Where does he come up with these things?

A while

OK it has been a while since I have updated here, but I claim to have a good reason.  We have had a few things happen lately.  The van got broken into while we were out hiking.  We came back to find glass all over the van and my purse (mostly empty) the diaper bag, and the camera gone.  So now we are temporarily without a camera and I don't have a lot of pictures to post.  So this space has been pretty empty, but we have been busy. I will give you the bulleted version of what we have been doing.

• Princess had another birthday and so now she is 7.   She is very proud to be bigger and the same age of most of her classmates.
• My sister came to visit with her kids, so we had a great time hanging out with the cousins. We went shopping in Williamsburg and spent too much money on kids.
• We went to the pumpkin patch and petting zoo and the kids loved the hayride even thought munchkin was scared of all the chickens and turkeys running around loose. Princess and Buddy managed to catch and pick up a few chickens, and feed the goats.
• We have had lots of play dates and lots ot time spent outside now that the weather is cooler.
• A friend gave us 3 new bigger bikes.  One is the right size for Princess and she likes her new one.  Buddy's is way too big, but he manages to ride it anyway and says his old one is too small.
• I bought an art easel for $2 at a yard sale and the kids love it.  Munchkin now has permanent marker stains on her fingers, but loves to show me all her artwork.

I guess that is most of it for now... Hopefully I will manage to get out and buy a new camera this week so that I can get some more pictures up here soon.   I miss being able to take pictures.
