Eldon Missouri was doing their fireworks on Thursday night so we went over with my Dad to watch. Breckin LOVED the fireworks, but he doesn’t actually know them as fireworks. I am not sure why, but he calls them power-booms. Came up with that all on his own. Very cute to watch him get excited about the fireworks and for a small town, Eldon does a really great job with their fireworks.

I also had 45 cupcakes to do for a birthday party this morning. So, I did the fondant decorations last Wednesday, baked and iced the cupcakes while in Versailles yesterday, and delivered them at 9:30am. Which leads to the craziness. We decided to leave late last night instead of getting up really early this morning. So, we got home at midnight only to be woken up at 6:30 by Bosley. It really was a busy, fun weekend.

Conv #1
Today we were driving home and I had given Arwyn a sucker as a bribe. When she was done and the following conversation took place.

Arwyn: Gicky! Gicky! Gicky!
Me: What?
Awryn: Gicky!
I turned around (at a red light) to see that she was referring to her “sticky” fingers. She wanted me to wash her hands and was in extreme distress.

Conv #2
Arwyn: Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Me: Yes Arwyn.
Arwyn: Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

Some of her new words and their translations:

otter – water
okicle – popsicle
nine – MINE!
bubby – Breckin
Die-Die! – Bye-bye!
haaaa – hot
geez – cheese

He brought home some See’s candy suckers. Delicious! Well, when I took Bosley on a walk yesterday, I put the kids in the stroller and gave them each a chocolate sucker. When I would meet other moms on the walk, they would look at my kids a give a little giggle. In my humility, I thought they were just admiring my gorgeous children. I thought my kids were so cute that people just couldn’t help but laugh when they saw them. Another woman finally came by, smiled, and said, “That is a really messy sucker, but at least they are happy.” What? I went to the front of the stroller to investigate and this is what I saw.

This picture doesn’t do the situation justice. It was all over her legs, shoes, and stroller chair. Everywhere. I had to wash her shirt twice to get all of the chocolate out. On the other hand, both of our kids are very cute and clean in this picture.
