I have been absent from blogging for a long, long time, but I wanted to update you a bit on our summer so far. We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati for a long weekend with my parents in June. We then went on to spend a day at Kings Island by ourselves. It was a lot of fun! Hot, but fun!

Silly Sarah
While on our way to the Roscoe Village Apple Butter Stirring Festival, we passed the Longaberger basket headquarters which looks like a big basket. From the back seat, Sarah said,
"How did God make that?!?"

Leah Pauline
This morning, while I was doing dishes, Leah was the only one up. She had one of her many baby dolls on the bench of the kitchen table. She was leaning over it, whispering it the baby's ear, "I'm right here, I'm right here." So sweet and nurturing. And yet, last week, in the car, she was spanking her frog that she calls Kermit.

Sarah Catherine
Sarah, very enthusiastically, after making herself a sandwich after swimming tonight:
"What's better than a sandwich?...............NOTHING!"
"What's better than a sandwich?...............NOTHING!"
Rebekah Janae
Bekah: Mommy, we need to get my school supplies! We only have like 5 days....
Me: Bekah, we have more than 5 weeks.
I guess she's excited for school to start back up already.

Recent Birthdays
Sarah's birthday was towards the end of March, and Leah's birthday was a week ago. For Sarah's "friend" party, I made a monkey cake. (Bobby decorated it.) For Leah's family birthday, I made a butterfly cake. For Sarah's family party, we did monkey cupcakes. I decorated these, but for some reason, there wasn't a picture taken, oops!

Leah's latest thing in the car.....
Leah's new favorite thing in the car is to do everything herself. Or, as she says, "self, self."
A couple weeks ago, while letting her climb into the car and into her seat by herself, she ran past and into the back. This had become a normal thing, but I could usually get her to come back. After much coaxing, she wouldn't come.
I said, "Leah, if you don't come back here, I'm going to smack your butt."
She cam over to her seat, started to crawl up in her seat, and just left her butt sticking out. Then she started to say, "smack it, smack it!"
What a silly girl!

Our NEARLY 23 month old
Leah has this new obsession with pretending to change her baby dolls diapers after I change her diaper. She uses the changing pad (since we don't have a changing table) and always asks for a wipe.
After I just changed her, she wanted to do this, and was in the middle of trying to re-unfold the changing pad when I tried to give her a wipe. (she MUST have a real wipe to change an unreal diaper)
I said, "Here." She said, "Minute, minute." She picks up so much!! Then, 5 seconds later, she is running to her room (after finding a baby) saying, "Minute, minute" and then asks me to get a diaper for her.
As I finish typing this, she is calling help from the playroom for me to come help her change the diaper.

How Leah answers 3 Questions
When I am trying to get Leah to use manners, this is what I usually say,
"Leah, what do you say?" to which she replies, "Yep."
Since she didn't say what I wanted her to, I say, "Leah, how do you ask?" to which she says, "Please."
I then give her what she wanted and she says without being told, "Thank you!"

Leah's runny nose
Yesterday, as we're sitting on the stairs putting shoes on, getting ready to go get Rebekah. I noticed that Leah's nose was running. I didn't have a tissue handy, so I told her I'd get it after we got shoes on. Before I could get one, she used her sleeve to wipe it and proudly said, "Got it!" Later that day, it happened again! Gross! Who is teaching her these things?

Rebekah, 6 years old.
As I was checking my e-mail right now, Rebekah came in and asked me when I was going to clean my room. Excuse me, I just cleaned it yesterday, I just didn't make my bed this morning. She then proceeded to make the bed, fold the "slightly worn" clothes at the end of the bed, and started cleaning up various things around our room. She then proceeded to ask me why I didn't clean up my room more often. Hmmm, let me think, maybe because I'm always cleaning the rest of the house and my room is the last thing to be cleaned. ??!!!

Leah's new favorite phrase
"Mooshu, stop it!"
She says it a few times in a row while waving her hand at Mooshu, and she says it very clearly with a lot of authority. :~)

Busy family weekend!
Leah went pee-pee on the potty today. Not really ready for her to do this, so I will probably not push it.
Sarah has been focusing a lot on writing letters and wanting to write words. She just walked into my room with a pad of paper and a pencil and asked me if I knew how to write in Chinese. She was very disappointed when I told her that I don't know how.
