"Naptime"

What happens when big sister is supposed to be napping on her new air mattress (in prep for church retreat this weekend) while baby is napping in her pack-n-play? This:

(be patient, it will be dark at the beginning, and you'll probably have to turn your sound up at first, but it's worth it!)

Art by Signy Grace

We had to stay home from preschool today due to colds. I decided to let Sig do the same art project we were supposed to do at school. It was supposed to be two different projects: painting a yellow sun on the white paper & painting a orange face on the yellow sun cut-out. Sig said "I think it goes like this mom!"




Then I gave her a chance to free paint. She said, "I will do a dog...cat! Cat!". So she starts painting, asks how to do a bowl of water (blue u-shape), finishes, looks at it & says, "It's my ant! That's silly!"



She's great!

Willa happily bounced while we worked:

How I woke up on Thursday

So the door between our bedroom and bathroom squeaks. (Truth be told, every door in our house sticks, squeaks and/or creaks upon opening! This is more a statement of fact than a complaint.)

Anyway, yesterday I was awoken WAY too early by the repeated slow squeak of said door. I sit up and whisper (because Andy & Willa a managing to sleep through this), "Sig, what are you doing?"

Response: "It's not me. It's my cat Max--she's meowing. I think she's REALLY HUNGRY!"

The thing is, once I saw the cat's head peeking out from around the door, the squeak really did sound like a hungry cat! I wish I had my phone to prove it.

Of course I starting laughing hysterically--causing both Andy & Willa to snarfle & roll over. They are more alike every day!

Sig & I decided to take Max into the kitchen to make pancakes!

This video has nothing to do with squeaky doors--I just think Willa is precious!

Don't worry, she was ok in the end!

Message

Signy was creating her voicemail message today:

I didn't catch the beginning on video, but she said "Hi! This is Signy Grace. I didn't give your message, and I will give your message back. Bye!"

Then, I guess I was supposed to "hear" her message. Little slow on the uptake, mom:
