Hello?

Bronwyn was talking on her toy phone.  I was eavesdropping ;)

B: "Hello Minni?"

B: "Hi Minni, how are you?"

B: "Aw...Minni...you're the BEST!"

B: "Do you want to come to my castle?  It is beautiful!!!!"

B: "Okay, Minni...you can come to my castle and be kissed by the prince and live happily ever after.  Okay?  Okay.  The end."

I think Bronwyn needs to be exposed to a bit more than Disney princesses...what do you think?

Creeper in the Cage

By Jack

One day on 1 o'clock in the morning a creeper was crying on my front door stoop.  So, I dug a hole and I made it mossy and then I put a cage in it.  The creeper was caught in the cage and the creeper blew up.

By Jack/Steve

FYI... creepers are monsters (kind of) on a game Jack loves to play--Minecraft.  Steve is Jack's Minecraft alter ego :)

Ready or Not Here I Come...

Kids got me with a great hide-n-seek spot.  Quietest five minutes I've ever had ;)

Bronspeaks II

Telling me about her day:
"Nanna wouldn't let me go on the monkey bars.  (she said it wasn't safe)  But I could have used my big muscles!"

"Nanna put me on the swings.  I HATE the swings.  I have swings at home.  I don't have monkey bars at home.  She should let me do the monkey bars."

At bedtime:
"But I'm not tired.  (why you rubbing your eyes?)  My eyes itch but that is probably just my allergies..."

When trying to get Mom off the computer:
"Mom, get off the computer and come play with me!"  (yes, in one minute...) "I'll give you 20 seconds...ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN..........................................................................."

When "playing" the piano:
"Listen to me practice (pounding  lower keys) That's thunder or probably a dinosaur stomping...they sound they same..."

Under the Sea

Dinner and a Movie Night.  Our theme...fishies!  Why not, right?

Dinner: Fish Sticks.  With melons shaped like starfish.    

Movie: Finding Nemo.  Bronwyn's first time seeing it.  She was so sad when Nemo was caught and ironically spent the rest of the movie asking, "Where's Nemo?"  

Craft Project:  We made fish out of tissue paper and kids drew fish-themed pictures.  

Jack drew a mirrored scene.  On top is a Clone Trooper attacking some robot creature.  Under his feet is an underground water word with a fish attacking against a sea monster (that looks exactly like the robot above...but with tentacles.)

Bronwyn drew a less violent and less recognizable fish.  I wish I could interpret art...ha!

Hmm....wonder what tonight's theme will be?

Flower Power

Bronwyn's flower complete with petals, leaves and a stem (called the stick) ;)

Spooky

I came down to find this...

Not sure if I am more perplexed by this or where she got these cards, which I've never seen before!

Born to Corn

It's Not a Bag

It's a Creeper mask

No, it's a backpack

It certainly is no longer a gift bag ;)

Birthday Art

Kids drew me pictures for my birthday!

Mickey bringing me flowers...by Jack

And a friendly dinosaur by Bronnie Brontosaurus herself ;)

Weeeeeeeeeee.....

Who knew Bronwyn was such a daredevil?  We spent morning at an indoor play zone.  I thought I'd be in the toddler section with her while Jack tackled the monster bouncy houses.  Turns out...Jack struggled keeping up with his sister...the spitfire.

Awww....

Cleaning Jack's room I found a journal he made some time this year, titled...The Things I Love.
