Jul. 30, 2008 - Extras, just because :)
Some random pictures from the past few days that I forgot to post the last time. :)
She looked so thrilled to have her picture taken. :)
He was playing in the office, and decided to be the King :D
He's the Daddy when he and Karah play "house" :)
When SuperKitty isn't saving the world....
He might be found sleeping amongst the CLEAN dishes!!! (It was quite interesting when we found him there...I had to look twice before I realized it was a CAT! lol We still don't know how he got in the cupboard, AND closed the door...one of the boys thought it'd be funny to squirt water at the poor guy while he was in there)
An interesting picture of Sarah, through the lattice on our deck. :)
All of we kids finished our quota of books for the library's summer reading program, so late last week Mom took us to turn in our lists. As one of our many prizes, we all got coupons for a free ice cream cone, so this afternoon Mom took us to get those! :D Yummy, especially on a HOT day like today!! ;)
I passed Driver's Ed (the driving part) on Thursday, so now I can get my permit (not sure when I'll go for it, though). :) I'm glad to be done with it!
I've finished several books recently, but not very many good ones. :/ I just finished reading "The Princess and the Hound" last night, and it was the worst "quick pick" from the library I've probably done in a long while. Tons of magic and a couple inappropriate (although vague) hints. *sigh* Somehow I finished the whole thing, though. I won't be reading it ever again, though!! I've also forbidden my sisses from reading it. *stern look* ;)
"Under a War-Torn Sky" was pretty boring, too. It put me to sleep at one point, actually. 0_0 Sure, I was really tired, but still...It got a little more interesting at the end, but I wouldn't want to read it again.
I'm reading "God's Smuggler" right now, and that is REALLY exciting and interesting! :D It's a good book...up next, I've got "The Railway Children" and "The Story of the Treasure Seekers" by Edith Nesbit, as well as "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" by Howard Pyle, plus I still need to finish a book about Mary Shelley, and "Our Mutual Friend"!!! I've been reading that for two months now! *blush* Not consistently, of course, but it's still embarassing to take such a long time to read a book that I really love. ;)
Micah turns 1 in less than two weeks! :( It's been a very short year, I'll say! He's walking almost all the time now, and is starting to sound like he's saying words (besides his normal "Mama" "Ma" "Daddy" "Nana" and other names, of course) and phrases! :) He's only using the few signs that we've taught him (with Karah and Micah, we've done sign language before they could talk to say "please", "thank-you", "more" and so on) when he's absolutely desperate: instead, he tries to say the words! :D He's also learned this thing, which we call his "Hulk" move. lol He clenches his fists, arcs his arms a bit, scrunches up his face, and growls. :D It's so cute!
More pictures soon! :)

That is soo funny about Micah doing the Hulk thing, because Jules does a "Star Wars" thing, where she reaches out both arms, and kinda does this hissing thing...kind of like the "Force" in "Star Wars"...it's hilarious!
I loved all the pictures!!!
Have you ever read "The Railway Children"? It is one of the SWEETEST books I"ve ever read! :D
