Heard Today:

JT was watching his driver's ed DVD today.   One of the comments on the program was this:

"One of our goals is to produce drivers who are competent and confident."



Luci, who hears everything, looked at me out of the corners of her eyes and said,

"Yeah.  I don't think so."

Catching Up

I am so behind on blogging.  I will try to catch you up on all the interesting stuff we've been doing, and I'll try to keep it in chronological order.  Which means the newest on top.
.
On our way home from Sevierville, TN, we headed out through the Smokies.  We drove through Cades Cove, and here are some of the sights. 

You couldn't even tell this staircase was there until the camera flash lit the place up.  And this was a bright, sunny day!  Can't imagine life without electricity now.



This was right before she told us she had to "go potty."  And there's nothing even close!  Good thing I had her little porta-potty in the car with us.  (That porta-potty is worth it's weight in gold!)










We saw EIGHT bears!  The largest group was a group of three. 

Driving!

Bryan got his license today!


Congratulations, Bryan!


Here's the Maalox, Mama!

 

This Is Bryan!

Bryan Says This Is True

And it isn't funny!

This Also Happened at Our House

Our Sunday

It Had to Happen; and Some Other Stuff



Sooner or later, you know it's going to happen. Our newest driver was backing the van out of the garage and--well, let's just say the garage door kissed it. Driver, van, garage all doing fine.



Here's Luci in the latest "Miss Millie Creation." Isn't it so cute? So is Luci, by the way. I was so happy to find some red tights and white blouse in the closet already, so this outfit was good to go for church this morning! Thank you, Miss Millie!


The boys getting ready to have tea this afternoon. We use Nana's china, paper plates and some pottery ware that I found years ago--the boys have their own little cups and plates with Bible verses on them. Mom, that Wedgewood Wellesley is tough stuff--I accidentally dropped the lid to the sugar bowl and it survived the fall. You'll also be glad to know, Mom, that we used the sugar tongs with some sugar cubes today (the boys got in trouble for playing with the cubes).


On a very bright note, John told me today that I looked cute! He said I'd even be a cute old lady--which is coming sooner than we think--I found a long, gray hair today!





I am the Queen of Quite-a-Lot and Luci is Princess of Everything-Else.
