Conquering the Evil Dishes and Play Time

Finley very graciously shares his trucks with his sister.

Evelyn loves the grader since it rolls around so nicely. She can walk behind it.

Playing in the left over sand from the septic project. (Don't worry! It's clean sand. )

Finley: Hey Mama! You have to come over here and conquer the evil robots!
Me: I would love to do that but first I have to conquer the evil dishes!
Finley: The evil dishes? Why are they evil?
Me: Because I'd rather be playing with you but I have to finish these or we
won't have any clean dishes and our kitchen will be full of stinky
pots and pans!
Finley: (After a moment thinking.) What would you say when I do all the dishes
for you? And clean up the counters and vacuum?
Me: (Smiling hugely) I'll say, Wow! How did Finley get so grown up so soon?
Finley: And what will Daddy say when he sees me doing all your chores?
Me: He'll say, Wow! Finley is getting so grown up and How did Mom get you to
do all those chores for her?

Words I love to hear Finley mispronounce:

Amminals for animals

Leggulee for regular

Fipe for five

Effalyn for Evelyn






Evelyn checking out the new stroller wheels.

Getting ready to walk up and get the paper and the mail. It's become our evening routine now. Nice and calming right before dinner.
