Road Trip Day 2 Friday

After a quick little breakfast–thanks hotel…

of anything and everything you can think of…

we’re back in the car…

and off again.

We had more of this…

and these…

and even this to let us know that we were still in Colorado.

Or is it Colopado?

Have we been saying it wrong all these years?!

Whatever. We were here in Colorado, until we weren’t.

Welcome to Kansas!!

We noticed immediately that they had waaaay more land that looked like this.

Lots of hay and tons of corn…no picture though. I must have been too stunned at the shere volumn of the corn to focus. Sorry man.

Pretend you can see us driving allllll through Kansas and allllll that corn, until at last, at LAST we got to Arkansas and…

found my cute long, lost boy!!! Ooooh I’ve missed those big, strong arms.

April’s family beat us here by a day because they drove straight through without stopping. Yikes.

We got in so late that Dane’s family were already in bed.

The kids still loved meeting up with their cousins that they hadn’t seen…

in a whopping 3 days!

They live down the street from us in Utah. Haha.

It was good to get a little piece of our Daney-boy before he went off to bed.

We finally made it!!

ROAD TRIP!! Day 1 Thursday

Heading out to road trip it allllll the way to Dane & Kortney’s place. Yes, we are very, very brave to do this without the usual menfolk in the wagon train.

First stop–Lyndi’s place to pick up some things she needed us to take. We really wanted her to jump in the car with us, but she wasn’t able to do it…this time. We’ll miss you Lyndi!!

For some strange reason, we were feeling particularly sturdy-mountain-women-ish for this trip…which we may laugh about later.

We’ll see.

Arkansas here we come!!

Lots of roads.

Lots of clouds.

Lots of prairie.

Ooooh. Dairy Queen is ALWAYS a good idea. Heh, heh.

Not stir crazy yet!! All these cuties did so-so well, playing games, watching movies and napping.

Made it to Colorado…

and our hotel…

in great time.

Everyone was ready…

for a nacho feast!

 

with a little popcorn on the side…

and the floor.

Haha.

I was ready for bed but these little fishies wanted to swim before sleeping after being cooped up in the car all day. What a great idea!

Zzzzzzzzzz…

 

Five Weeks And Counting

These babies are getting sweeter by the day.  It took Miss Hazel a minute or two to find them and catch them…

which of course, is Dali’s fault. She is STILL moving them behind boxes and under shelves like she’s being soooo stealthy.

These babies are certainly big enough to just walk out of whatever place she “hides’ them in.

She’s ridiculous.

She does make cute babies though.

That’s the dang truth.

 

Squishies

 

I seriously have mixed feelings about all these…things. I made them because I wanted to have some things at the Farmer’s Market that would appeal to boys.

Still, some of them are so gross they make me kinda sick. Haha. This Zombie for instance. Blaugh.

The bubbling cauldron is ok.

It just sits calmly until you squish it and then it bubbles over!

Frankie blows bubbles….

like the candy corn.

Kinda cute and kinda nasty.

Haven’t decided which yet.

As long as the kids like them, it’s a win…right?

Yak. Haha.

Slightly Grumpy Kitties

These cuties are called “Loaf Cats” probably because they resemble a short squatty loaf of bread…or a sausage.

My problem with these guys is that they don’t look particularly…you know… happy. So, I thought, that’s easily remedied.

One needle and a bit of thread later…

Problem now is that they don’t look right somehow. Cute and happier, sure, but still…um…

wrong.

Luckily, that, is also easily remedied.

Yeah, I took the smiles all off. Sounds weird, but I suppose there are some creatures that look better with a straight face.

Don’t quote me.
