Funny Little Girl

So Sunshine is really making me laugh today- I love it! First of all she told me about what was ailing her baby. She named her baby Kate after a friend of hers. Poor Kate has an owie on her knee, bug bites (ant bites) on her ankles, AND a puffy foot. Sunshine had all of these recently. She had some ant bites on her toes that made her foot swell, so I commented to her that her foot was puffy. So now I think she thinks people get puffy feet just as often as they get a headache or tummy ache.

I think she wants to go swimming with her friends. Here are a couple of conversations we had...

Me: What do you get if you keep your panties dry all day long?

Sunshine: Ice cream cone and go see friends and swim

Well, she does get an ice cream cone but the rest is not part of the reward system.

Sunshine (with a bag over her shoulders): Bye, bye. See you later.

Me: Where are you going?

S: Go see friends.

Me: What are you going to do with your friends?

S: Go to pool.

Blessed

This morning as we prayed before breakfast, Sunshine bowed her sweet little blonde head and said "thankful for mama and daddy." It blessed my heart and made my day.

May happenings

May has gotten off to a fast start (just like every other month). I spent the first weekend in with T's mom, his sister, and our niece in Fredricksburg. It was my first time to go and I really enjoyed it! I found a few things to bring back and also came home with lots of ideas.

The weather has been heating up, so Sunshine has been enjoying the sprinkler and the pool. We've been to the city pool a couple of times with friends. Because school is still in session, there haven't been very many people there- it's been great. Sunshine and her friends have full use of the slide and they love it! I think they went up and down at least 30 times yesterday.

We finished up planting our garden and I think everything is up. We've been enjoying some of the cooler season veggies..like broccoli, onions, and a little romaine and spinach. Garden fresh broccoli is just amazing to me. It tastes so different from the fresh broccoli I have purchased at the grocery store....I love it and so do T and Sunshine.

The sunflowers have really taken off. We've been taking out a tape measure and having discussions about which sunflower is the tallest, which one is the shortest, etc. Here is a pic of Sunshine playing with the tape measure by her sunflowers.
