16) Light through Autumn leaves
17) Cool, crisp mornings
18) Warm furry friends on the milk stand---a nice place for my hands!
19) Baby toes.
20) Children coming off their trick-or-treat sugar high, tucked snug-as-a-bug in beds, 20 minutes early!

Amharican
As it goes with most two year olds, learning to speak and having those you're speaking to understand, takes a bit of trial and error. We're learning here. All of us. And we still hear words that we don't quite make out. We like to think it's a combination of Amharic, Ethiopia's primary language, and English...or maybe not and we just flat out can't figure out what she's asking for.
Ahhh, there you have it. See her happy smile? And what's that she's holding!??!?
Fruit snacks!
Well, why don't you give it a shot....
The little girl is saying:
Fute sats.
Didn't understand??
She will tell you again, louder, maybe with a bit of whine!
FUTE SATS!!!!
Ahhh, there you have it. See her happy smile? And what's that she's holding!??!?
Fruit snacks!
fruit thief
Sometimes it's most of the raspberries.
Sometimes it's the bowl of grapes.
Most of the time, the fruit belonged to her from the beginning.
But not this time.
This time, it was mine.
And it was the LAST one.
And it was just the right stage, juicy and yummy and, did I mention, the last one?!?!?
And she stole it from me! Ok, I kind of let her have it, but still.
~I'm not seeing guilt here...it was the last one after all~
A whining post
It's hot. And muggy, which is really just humid and it's that too. And the mosquitos are huge. Think hummingbird size. And there's millions (could be billions, but I lost count at millions) of them. Everywhere.
And my kids are hot. And that makes them whiny.
And my dogs are hot. And although they try to hide it, they too are whiny----

SEE!
And yes, there is always a bright side. A glass half full side. A "but it is summer you know" side, but at this minute, I just don't want to see that side as I already mentioned in the title of this post that it's all about the whine! So there.
