passing the time

I've been REALLY sick this week. While I'm in the bathroom puking up my internal organs, Benson passes the time by playing with the basketball and baseballs in my closet.

dance parties, picnics, and cookie monsters

Bailey and Benson get their groove on.

Friday night we had a picnic/movie/sleepover night. We had a picnic in the family room (we didn't want to get attacked by the swarms of mating lovebugs that are in 'season' right now.) We then watched "Mr.Magorium's Wonder Emporium" for movie night and had a 'sleep over' in Bailey's room. Bailey slept in her tent in her room, Brandon on the floor next to her, and I slept on Bailey's bed. Brandon and I got little sleep, but Bailey said it was 'the best night of my WHOLE life!' which made it totally worth it.

I made chocolate chip cookies on Saturday to take to our neighbor's pool party. Benson and Bailey were SO excited for them. They are my little cookie monsters!

what's for lunch....

here's the scene...
It's lunchtime, and there's a bowl of Spaghetti O's (which are Bailey and Benson's new favorite lunch) on the table. 'Princess' Spaghetti O's to be exact, which have little crown noodles instead of just O's. Benson is already about 1/2 way thru his bowl of O's and I can't shovel them in his mouth fast enough. Bailey comes to the table...

Bailey: "Um, what exactly is this?" (looking at the O's like its a heaping pile of doo-doo)
ME: "It's the Princess ones. Remember, you picked them out?"
Bailey: "Oh." (grimacing)
ME: "They taste exactly the same as the other ones."
Bailey: "Are you sure? Because if I die, I die forever you know!"

At least she has gotten more clever with her arguments for not eating. And, apparently they did taste the same, because we had no further comments, and she didn't die from eating them.

new look, and surprises!
