One Spoiled Cat

So if you drive to Heber you've seen the house that has the "one spoiled dog" house. Well our Tommers is one spoiled cat. He has been eating my house plants! He ate the tips off of all my spider plant leaves. He started chewing on my ammarillis (sp?) which just barely grew leaves again finally. And the last straw that finally clued me in that my poor kitty has a vegetation deficiancy, was when Tom ate an entire leaf off of Tucker's cabbage plant he brought home. So today Lukie and I bought a planter and some vegetable plants. We planted them and put it downstairs for Tom. I, of course, hope that Tom will leave MY plants alone, but I'm sure I'm just encouraging him more. All well.

Random Explanation of A Normal Event in My Average Type Life

Yesterday Aunt Santa was here and as we sat barefoot on the sidewalk with Luka, we were comparing toenail colors. I was telling Ananda how we have most every color because Luka loves to have her nails painted. So this morning when we painted her nails I decided to to document it with pictures. Lukie likes her nails painted at least once a week. I usually let her pick what color she wants (or make an encouraging suggestion if I would like it a certain color :D). Today she wanted blue. We've done rainbow, candy cane, flowers etc. It turns out that we currently have 25 shades of nail polish (silly since I almost never paint my fingernails and when I do it almost always either a whitish color or the black sparkly). I had to post the scowl picture too because even though Lukie has the best scowls ever, I don't have to many pictures of it. :)

Wait for it :)

A few days ago Clay started talking about hair color and how he has 'dirty' blonde hair. He asked me what color my hair is with out all the color on it (who knows? :D). I told him that I didn't know for sure. At the time it was kind of a dark dirty blonde similar to his color because my attempt at brunette was fading (I have blonde highlights now (I know, how often can one person change their hair color right? ) so we all decided that I had dirty blonde hair too. When Clay brought it up the other day, Luka was there and we told her she had strawberry blonde hair. Which she loved of course, I am assuming because she LOVES Strawberry Shortcake and strawberries. But I didn't realize how well she had paid attention to that conversation until yesterday when Luka, Clay and I were sitting on my bed watching "Tangled" and out of the blue Luka said, "I have strawberry blonde hair. And you have 'GROSS' blonde hair Mom!" I don't know if she thinks my hair is actually dirty and so it must be gross, or if she just got the words mixed up. Either way I about died laughing it was so funny.

btw, I can't remember for sure how Clay would even know he has 'dirty blonde' hair? Maybe from one of the many hair discussions at our house as he has watched me dye or cut my hair and aunties hair so many times? Wow that was a long post to say a little thing!

My Rapunzel

Lukie has been unrolling all of my ribbon and tying it around her neck and running around the house with it "flowing" behind her pretending to be Rapunzel, her favorite. Since it isn't very safe and for the sake of my ribbon, we decided to buy her a Rapunzel ponytail to wear and she loves it. I think she looks pretty cute too. We got a lot of smiles from admirers as we ran errands today (they must have all been so excited to see Rapunzel :) ).

Happenings

For Luka

Lukie Lu

A poem for you
my daughter sweet,
Because I think
you're really neat.

Your bouncing curls
and dancing steps,
Bring smiles of glee
to all you've met.

You're sweet as punch
and quick as a whip,
From your twinkly toes
to your pouting lip.

We dance, we run,
we laugh, we cry.
I love you daughter.
I'm glad you're mine!

My Clay Clay

My Clay Clay

Clay, your smile seems to have a way,
To brighten up the darkest day.
You give me hugs and kisses too;
Unsolicited, the whole day through.

Your thoughtful eyes and impish grin,
Could charm the angriest of women.
You're sweet, caring and funny too.
You love the ladies and the ladies love you.

Your energy seems to have no bounds.
You share all you have with those around.
You promise me you'll never leave,
And my Clay, I want to believe!

To Tucker

TERRIFIC TUCKER

My handsome Tucker,
I admire you so!
I'm always amazed,
As I watch you grow.

Your tender heart
And powerful spirit,
Bless the lives
Of all who are near it.

You have potential
Like no-one has seen.
I trully believe
You can do anything!

You're my reading buddy-
My thoughtful friend.
I love you Tucker!,
Beyond the end!
