A calm week

This week was pretty calm. Scott had to work a lot because visitors were here from Oregon and they had meetings with people in Oregon. Meetings starting at 5 pm and finishing at 8 pm were no fun.

One evening, Tiffany was doing her nightly search for lost toys and was surprised to find a lizard, that we think was a gecko, instead. Scott captured it in a plastic container and released it outside.

Friday was a stay at home day. No traveling or touring this week. Scott installed a new power outlet, replacing wires hanging out of the bathroom wall. Tiffany gave Scott a haircut with our new clippers and Tyler a trim around the ears with scissors. We decorated Brooke's room and the playroom with wall stickers, Minnie Mouse for Brooke and Bob the Builder for the playroom.

Unpacking the last box

Brooke loves her new room. She laughs at the stickers on the walls. More importantly, she loves her crib so much that she sleeps all night.

Going to the park

We got delayed on our way to church on Saturday. There was a herd of cattle crossing the road at a stoplight. They didn't obey the stoplights so we had to wait through a couple of light changes. Unfortunately, Scott had left the camera in the trunk, so no picture.

Family picture - post haircut, didn't Tiffany do a good job?

A bumper crop of Tyler-isms:

  • "Where's the bottom?" - when Tiffany pointed out a spinning top on TV

  • "I don't recognize that." - going through Tiffany's clothes in the closet

  • "Oberballs" - overalls

  • "I looked and I looked and I looked and I looked" - couldn't find his blanket

  • "Mallbox car" - a Matchbox car purchased at the mall

  • "The light is red, that means my green car can't go." - comment from the back seat driver

  • "That makes me funny." - meaning that makes me laugh

  • "I turned off my night-night-light and it was dark in my room so I opened the door." - explaining why he got up at 6:00 am

  • "Daddy turned on the printer and the printer gave Daddy paper." - a keen observation

  • "I want this car and this taxi and this train for Christmas." - when reading the transportation page of his My First Word Book
