Rusty the Next John Popper

So, I have this harmonica which I have been learning to play and the kids love to play it also.  They love that it is so easy to make "music" with, all they have to do is blow or suck and wallah music, at least they think so.  Rusty however is stepping it up a notch.  He doesn't just want to make noise he wants to rock out.  He totally spreads out his feet, leans over and enters the world of rock and roll with his tin sandwich.  Watch out John Popper (the guy from Blues Traveler) Rusty is working his way towards pushing you out of the spotlight.  He even has the look down.

Easter

We had a great Easter, the kids were so excited they could hardly sleep, in fact they talked in bed until almost 10pm on Saturday night. Kelsea even opened the mini blinds so she could see the Easter bunny when he came. Unfortunately it was raining so the Easter bunny had to hide the eggs inside.

Dying Eggs

Pretty self explanatory

Bunny Cake

Kelsea saw a picture of a bunny rabbit cake and asked if we could make it for Easter. The kids had a great time and couldn't wait to eat it!!

Kelsea's wish for the world

Kelsea is always concerned about other people. About a month ago Scott and the youth group participated in the 30 hour famine to raise money for hungry/starving kids all over the world. Kelsea has been particularly concerned with Africa because Scott gave her a bracelet which is suppose to remind her to pray for the starving kids in Africa. This evening she came to me and said, "You know what my wish for the world is? I wish that everybody would have food to eat, good water to drink, a house to live in so they don't have to sleep outside, and lots of lipstick for the girls to wear."

Reptiles

I don't know what I've been up to lately, but it seems like I have been so busy I don't have time to do anything, even blog. My brain just isn't quite working properly.

Last week Kelsea had the reptile guy come to her school. Which she was so excited about since she remembered when he came last year. She insisted that all of us come which we did. Rusty was a bit timid at first but once he saw the other kids touching animals he joined in. Hunter was really excited to touch all the animals. The giant yellow snake the kids are holding was suppose to smell like popcorn, I don't know, I didn't smell it or check it out. They put a "diaper" on the one lizard because he tends to "tinkle" when startled. They even got to pet an alligator which was about 3 ft long.

Let's match

Yesterday Kelsea wanted her toe nails painted pink and blue so we did. She was so excited she thought they looked like easter eggs. She wanted me to have matching toe nails, but since I can hardly reach my toes around my big belly we had to ask Scott to paint them. Kelsea has been beside herself with our matching "easter egg toes." She even has been thanking Jesus for our toes.

This morning she asked if I could get a dress to match her for church. I told her they don't make that dress in my size and she said, "just ask the person who made my dress to make a big one for you," as if it were that easy. We ended up wearing matching jewelry instead. She also insisted that we wear matching lip gloss and then proceeded to explain to me how to put it on, repeating herself 3 times.
