Chats and Hats

Will has been on the phone all morning (and by "phone" I mean Brad's alarm clock) and Harper has been modeling her new hat (and by "her" I mean Brad's). Basically, they're just rooting through his things with adorable results.

  

  

Will seems to be warding off some terrifying disaster because he keeps exclaiming, "Oh no! Oh no, daddy! Help!... Harper, help!" and Harper is just following me around mugging for the camera. 

I love my gorgeous, wacky kids!

P.S. Please note how they both are wearing dinosaur attire. It looks like we have two dinophiles on our hands.

Easter on the Farm

It's become our annual Easter tradition to have a few friends to the farm for an egg hunt and potluck barbeque. The kids just love it and it feels great to spend a relaxing day with good friends while we all get back to nature a little.

Besides egg hunting this year's festivities included kite flying, flower/strawberry/blueberry picking, swing setting, food eating (and eating, and eating) and gator riding. By the end of the day everyone was sun-kissed, filthy and exhausted. It was pretty much perfect.  

Happy Easter from the Booker Pack!

They Call Her Dr. Worm

Harper is doing "a little worm research" this morning. Her hypothesis: All worms are wiggly and squirmy. 

"Mommy, am I just like Jane Goodall?"

St. Patrick's Day 2015

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This year Brad was out of town and I was desperate to keep the kids active and busy until bedtime so we went to Lowry Park for the traveling Chinese Festival of Lights display.

 

   

The lights were pretty and Harper LOVED the Chinese acrobats. She insisted we watch both the 7:00 and 9:00 performances (she even bartered away her bedtime story in order to stay and see the second show).

It was very pretty and relaxing and the kids were exhausted by the time we got home. Harper was practically begging to climb into bed. If only bedtime were this easy every night.

Luck 'O the Irish to you!  

Flasback Friday

When Will was born both Harper and I had Walking Pneumonia. Harper was dying to hold him, but she also has a viral rash, so the pediatrician recommended no contact between her and the baby until her rash cleared up (which finally happened when he was four days old). 

So this was the first time Harper held Will. It still makes my heart melt.
