Me are luperman

Dallin asked me to tie this blankie around him today as a cape. Then he ran around saying, "Me are luperman!" He always says "me are" instead of "I am" and he uses the "L" sound instead of the "S" sound at the beginning of words a lot. He didn't used to know the word "gun" (and I liked it that way) so if he ever tried to talk about a gun he would say a "looting thing" meaning "shooting thing." He would run around the house saying "Loot, loot! Me loot you!" It was really cute. The other day I was asking him what he wants for his birthday and he said, "Me want a 'un, no 'ullets." In other words he a wants a gun with no bullets. He likes to leave off initial consonants. Too bad his mom won't buy a gun for him. For me, water guns are OK, becasue you are not pretending to shoot someone with bullets to kill them, you are actually shooting water at someone to get them wet. It's the intention.

A goose on our roof. Sounds like the title of a phonics book to learn the double "o" sound. It stayed there for about 30 minutes. It started out honking really loud and got softer and softer at regular intervals, until it stopped. Then it just sat there.
Alice hasn't worn many short sleeved outfits, and I am always surprised by her chubby arms when I see them. I had to get a picture of them the other day. Don't her toes just look scrumptious?
Ariel turned 9 last week. I took her roller skating with her friends then we came back home for cake and ice cream. It was a lot of fun!

Me are Luperman. That is so cute. We don't do guns, either, and as a matter of fact, this year was the first time Greg got the kids water guns for Easter (for the national water fight day the second day of Easter).

A goose on your roof? WEIRD! Honk.

And those toes do look rather tasty. :)

Alice's hair is so awesome! Love Dallin's super hero cape. I can just hear him talking about Luperman! Such a cutie.

Holy cow it's been so long since I've read blogs! Your baby is ADORABLE! I, too, would like to gobble up those toes.

PS--I am also anti-gun. And my kids were playing at our neighbors' (with no kids) the other night, and afterward, they told us that they realized they had had their new handgun out, and totally forgot about it and hahaha, aren't we lucky the kids didn't get to it...

?!?!?!?!?!

I am freaked. And I don't find the hahaha anywhere in there.
