Mama, I'm Married!

That was the news from Luci tonight on the way home from church. We had a fellowship time after worship and, after eating, the kids played while the grown-ups visited. I kept an eye on Luci, waiting for her and Cole to discover each other, and Bam! they did. They spent quite a while running around and having fun. Cole is that 5 year old cutey-pie who's been crushing on Luci, and vice-versa. (Now, normally I don't encourage this kind of behavior--but the guy's been praying for Luci for several months now! and it would be so nice if she stayed in the area when she's grown...a sure thing since both are from here...talk about planning ahead!)

On the trip home, Luci gave me the big news. She's married to Cole.

I informed Luci that, if you're married to Cole, you can't live at our house anymore. You have to go live with Cole.

OK.

You can't live with mommy.

OK.

You can't have binky and blanky anymore.

Oh, PHOOEY! I not married.

Terrific Tuesday

We could have called this one "Tiring Tuesday," as well. We chopped more weeds today, and the front garden is looking more like a garden.

Here's Luci showing us how to "be a cheerleader" with her hands full of weedy pompons. (And it is pompon--I looked it up. Pompom is an automatic antiaircraft cannon. Check it out here. She definitely is not holding one of those!) Don't you love how she gardens in a pretty, pink dress?

By the way, the weeds behind Luci are all gone now--the boys learned that their momma is no slacker when it comes to chopping weeds! (Don't let my Mom and Dad hear that, ok? They think I complain and whine when asked to pick weeds. I don't want to upset their memories of my childhood!)

And, a photo Luci took of "Something Important."
