Text Santa & "She Started It..."

This morning Chaney suggested I "send Santa a text message" to let him know she would like an Ariel princess for Christmas. Also this week, I got my first "she started it" from Chaney. Sigh.

Sunday Night Dinner

There has been a lot of trash talk lately about who has the best bbq...(those involved you know who you are). Just thought I would share this picture of last night's dinner.

"Look at Mom and Smile"

Some catching up...

So yes, I know I've been neglecting the blog; thank you for noticing Honey. July was pretty crazy. Seems like we were traveling nearly every weekend and work for both PJW and I was pretty hecitc. I know we aren't any busier than anyone else, so long story short, all is good at the Werner house! I've been wanting to post this picture since a trip to the "farm" at the end of July. I was shocked when C told Laurie she wanted to ride by herself - clearly a love of horses not inherited from her mother. (she did take two laps by herself!) Ki Ki rode too but had no desire to take a solo ride - or a second lap.

The girls also helped with an AFP mailing we did in July. C was very particular about her work (stamping) - and was very concerned about the quality of K's folding. (K folded donation envelopes) They were actually very helpful; we have been waiting years for this! C refused to stop until she had all her stamps placed perfectly. (ok, well kinda perfectly)

We also went back to the Butterfly House last weekend. What a differnece since our last trip! We actually looked for specific butterflies pictured in our guide, had a little picnic in the nearby park, and at the carousel both girls rode horses-not the bench seat in the sleigh...sigh.

...and maybe I'm reading a bit much into it, but something about this picture makes me very nervous for their teen years...whatcha think?

Election Night Commentary from a "Political Expert"

"No YOU soaking wet!!"

MOM: "Keaton get back inside, its raining, you're soaking wet!" KEATON: "No YOU'RE soaking wet!" This might not mean anything to you all; but pjw and I wanted it documented for historic reference. A glimpse into KiKi's teen years perhaps?
