Neanderthal

Often, I am in awe at the eating "techniques" of my seven year old...

I can take a joke

Nora thinks my whiskers resemble a certain quilled mammal- I'm sure that would be a little more uncomfortable!

A little girl's dream

Nora informed us that if she could have one wish it would be that the world would be made of chocolate and all the teddy bears would worship her...where did I go wrong?

Woo Hoo!

I took a spin on Nora's little bicycle at the park yesterday- I guess this is what I looked liked.

Sweet sounds of music

Nora's school had a handbell concert lastnight...followed by ice cream.  I pictured something like this-

Kitchen Assistant

Nora's Aunt and Uncle are visiting for the week. Uncle Erik and Nora made homemade whipped cream to put on our fruit for snack- you'll never guess who licked the bowl.

That'll fix it!

I will probably get in trouble for teasing her about this... Nora was having a problem keeping some newly rediscovered decals stuck on the walls of her room.  What started out as excitement turned quickly to frustration- I'm so glad it didn't come to this!

lost in translation

This may need some explanation.  Nora sprained her ankle while running around yesterday.  I explained to her that I have had so many sprained ankles that my ankles are "rubbery"- I can roll them and not get hurt very badly. To which, she whined, "But I don't wanna be all rubbery." - I guess you had to be there.

Song and Dance

Sometimes you just can't impress people, no matter what you do.

You asked for it!



This is a true story except the elephant is me with the dish sprayer- she asked for it!

Frustration

At the park yesterday we had the opportunity to see a woodpecker up close- amazing little bird.  He looked so happy pecking away at that tree. Then my mind began to wander...

Jungle Bowling

Nora's Girl Scout troop went bowling yesterday- I can imagine it was a pretty wild time!

Etiquette according to Nora

Nora has a stuffed rhino that she likes to sleep with at night.  It also comes in handy when she needs to wipe her chin after taking a drink- silly kid!

Honk!

We came across a pair of angry geese on our run around Lake Scranton yesterday.  Nora would have loved nothing better than to have chased after them with her new bike horn.  What's good for the goose...

Tug-O-Worm

Yesterday's Girl Scout nature walk resulted in girls fighting over worms- really, I'm not joking.
