Laura's Outhouse

This passed Friday we celebrated Vera's 3rd birthday (pictures to follow) and we took her and her two cousins to Boondocks. There was a pretty small area for little kids to play though, which I didn't really like, but it was a still pretty memorable day, especially for me. So Vera was so into playing that she forgot to tell me she wanted to go to the bathroom and when we were about to leave, I realized she was all wet. The only thing I had with me was Vili's pants, so I decided to change her into that. I grabbed her and headed to the bathroom. I walked in and surprisingly the bathroom had less stalls that it usually would, but I didn't care, cause I just needed the changing station which was right there. So I put Vera on it and started taking off her wet clothes and, then I looked around some more - there was a boy who looked at me weird and went about his business. Then a MAN WALKED IN and I was like - WHAT???????? He also looked at me weird and just washed his hands and went out. Then I started to realize that I was in MEN'S BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I grabbed Vera's things and her naked butt and ran outside laughing and all embarrassed.

How's that for a birthday!!

Adventures of the Hair Clippers

All of you that have kids probably experienced that when your child is suspiciously quiet something is on. Sometimes, I think I can smell that in the air. So, what happened this time? Oh, not much. Vera just decided to open a hair salon and her first haircut was her own. As you can remember she had a pretty nice hair cut (see earlier posts or picture above), well now it's gone.

See how left side of her hair is gone? Oh, and enjoy the lovely mohawk.

What? You can't see, see the one below!!!

Her whole left side of hair is now missing. The funny thing is that it was cut in a really straight pattern. Pretty good job.
This is what had to happen to bring Vera back. Aunty Masha had to give Vera a new haircut. Unfortunately, she looks more like a boy now.

Can there be a better look of death than that? I wish your kids many experiences with their hair, however, I strongly advice to keep all sharp, cutting instruments out of reach.

Every girl needs to know how to give a dirty look. Vera has perfected it.

Battle Wounds

It is always a war to put kids down for a nap. This time the war ended with wounds....bleeding wounds.

Vera and me are hurting from hurting each other.

This is my bleeding lip from Vera headbutting me.

Yep, an ice pack for Vera and a swollen lip for me.

Pioneer Day Picnic

It's always fun to get out of the house and spend time with Tia and kids

Vera loves every minute with her dad, I love how she calls him Tia all the time.
Oh, those kids, copy anything....

Thanksgiving Point

Last weekend we were able to visit Thanksgiving Point and enjoy the beautiful flowers and weather.

Here's Vera on the pony enjoying the ride.
