No Special Reason

Sometimes it's hard to come up with a title for a blog post.  Other times I have one in mind before I even start.  Sometimes I have to upload the pictures before inspiration comes.....nope....no inspiration this time.

Troy's been working crazy long hours trying to get Our Wood component business moved to Colorado.  For those not familiar with it, we make raised panel cabinet doors, drawer boxes and moldings that we sell mainly to cabinet makers.  We have a plant in Indiana and this one in Kansas.  We are in the process of moving the Kansas one to Colorado.....no small feat.  So if we want to see Dad....we have to go to him these days.  

The girls have no superstitions about going under ladders.

 

I don't know if you can tell in this picture but this is a ramp.  They pedal to the top and then coast down.

Troy is working on a machine that has malfunctioned......Sherman is an interested observer......maybe he's just thinking..."give me a roll of duct tape and I'll fix this thing" LOL

I'm sure Dad was so glad for all his "help"

 

Headed out to ride dirt bikes with the big brothers.....it didn't last long!  It was too cold!

 

Today was "Wild West Fest" day at school.  We don't have any cow girl outfits so we opted for pigtails....don't know how "western" this is.......but at least it was something different.  I had Wrens around the back like Iley's....but then went to put her CI's on and they were right on top of her magnets.  So we stuck them out Pippi Longstocking style:) They made me smile every time I looked at her.

She was mad cause she couldn't get the lid off her marker....

 But OH MY GOODNESS......when we try just a little harder....amazing things happen!

 We have a little hair growing to do before this looks really cute, but they had fun wearing their hair a different way.

 

This video was right before they got in the tub.  Wren started out with her shirt on her head, and then I tied her sleeves on top.  She looked in the mirror and immediately did an exaggerated bow.  It looked so totally Chinese:) ...made ME laugh:)

These two........are just strange.  Seriously!  I told them they looked like a couple of monkeys grooming each other!

But Cute monkeys:)

Since I was taking pictures, Iley wanted to make sure she was in on the action.  Why the broom was picked for a prop???  probably because it was handy.

So of course Wren wanted in on it too since Iley was getting attention...so she had to grab something to pose with too.

Then Wren didn't want Iley in the picture with her....which didn't suit Iley AT all.

You can move over there, but I'm still going to lean in and get in it.

Ok fine whatever....since I can't get rid of her I guess she can stay.

They are all home from school today for MLK jr. day.....

They are all bored already, and it's not even lunch time....sigh.  I may have to do my...."I'm counting to 10 and everyone had better be outside playing!" move. 

Headed in to the school to watch Harrison play basket ball.  This was the girl's first basket ball game.  As soon as we got there one of the boy's classmates took off with them, and they came back with ring pops from the concession stand. 

 

 They sat on the very front row trying to get Harrison to look at them and wave.  Every time I would cheer "good job Harrison" Iley would turn around and ask "Harrison do a good job?"  I would say uh huh, and she would then turn around and yell "GOOD JOB HARRISON"  I'm sure he was thrilled to have us there!LOL.

 

 Sporting our Red and White showing our Q colors:)

 

 The girls have FINALLY both learned how to pump themselves in the swings!!  Yay!  Sorry these aren't very good pics....I took them from the porch.

 

 I found these little buckets that they carried flowers in at the wedding on each side of their front door with pom poms stuck in them. Flower pots?

 

 I debated whether to post these next two....and maybe I shouldn't have.....but they were having so much fun here, and mom was such a bad guy.......after she snapped pics of course.....and made them stop.  They were taking turns being the bridge.....then once the boat?car?train??? went under....the bridge collapsed into the water causing a MAJOR Tsunami!!!  There was water clear to the bathroom door! I need an aquarium... ...with a lid....to bathe these two in!

 

 Wren (much  like a wild puppy) was outside playing with the boys.....but Iley .. very like a cat... likes comfort...the cat  came back......it wouldn't stay away.....it was perched on my counter on the very next day.......
