Quick Thinking



So it was a rambunctious bedtime tonight which ended with a dramatic cry from Emily after lights were out complaining that she needed the current critter of choice's shoe rescued from the floor where it had just fallen.  Karl thought quickly, it was after all 30 minutes past lights out, and said, "Well the cheetah shouldn't be wearing shoes in bed anyway!"  Emily promptly took the shoe off the other foot and agreed with her dad's perfect logic.

Emily at dinner finally got around to tasting her carrot & savoy cabbage slaw and replied "Wow this is yummy, not yucky Mom."  Oh ye of little faith.

Heather! She looks JUST LIKE YOU!!! Holy Cow! Do you get told that all the time???

Great story. I'm always trying to think how I can get through to my kids in their way of thinking, you know?! Way to go Karl!

She does look even more like you than usual here. Is she in front of a green screen? She could be doing the weather.

Actually people normally say she looks like Karl, but we thing she is a pretty good blend of both.

And she was at a friends new business-a bounce house with really bright green, yellow, blue and red walls which gives her the insane weather girl look. I was trying to get a "cute" picture but that was the smile she gave me !

Way to go, Karl!!

I think it's the insane smile that makes her look like you at 5 - *somewhere* we have a photo of you doing the same smile. :>)
