"Boogerdrum"

So, my motherly pride almost stopped me from posting this one, because who wants to admit that their child picks their nose? I thought it was too cute not to share. So, this is me swallowing my pride. ;-)

Saturday morning we're eating breakfast when Allison comes into the room with a q-tip coming out each ear. Scott tells her to be careful, because if she puts them too far - or if someone bumps them - it could puncture her eardrum. Jenna, who was listening, pipes up and says:

"I know what you mean dad. Sometimes when I'm picking my nose, I hit my "booger-drum" and it really hurts." Scott had to have her repeat it a couple of times to fully understand what she was saying. She was so serious about her "booger-drum" that we had to laugh. How far exactly is she reaching up there??? And who has ever heard of a "booger-drum"?????

She really looks too cute to pick her nose, doesn't she?

Go fly a kite!

We had a fun spring break last week! I'm not sure who was more excited for a break from school...me or the kids.

We spent one day at the park with all of their cousins where we attempted to fly kites. It didn't go so well due to lack of wind and lack of kite-assembling talent. (Sorry ladies ;-) Ha!) FYI - dollar store kites do not come with instructions. The kites were pretty much only on the ground unless someone was holding it up. We tried again yesterday at my parents home where there is always plenty of wind by the lake. It was a success and it was a lot of fun!
