Monday

Spending Sunday evening at the farm worked out for us in many ways.  For one, Marky's den went to the Sheriff's office literally right beside Mom and Dad's house to shoot BB guns and learn about gun safety.  Second, we had an issue Monday morning with Marky needing to be at his weekly PE class that is down by my parents' house and Julia having a birthday party at the exact same time 30 minutes away.  We solved this by letting Marky spend the night, which he thinks is the biggest treat ever!  He stayed up late and read like four classic books, played "shut the box" with BB and Memaw, and got to eat what he wanted.  This morning before his PE class he got to go fishing.  BB even said, "if you want a different fishing pole, you can drive up to the house on the four wheeler and get one".  Well, it turns out  he needed to try out FIVE different fishing poles.  :)

Meanwhile, across town, Julia was having a tea party with SNOW WHITE herself!



Singing into the "wishing well" with Snow White....

 

At one point, Snow White handed all the girls apples (which is Julia's favorite snack) and Julia was the only one who would NOT take it. She knows how this story goes down- she's read the book. Don't try to play those games with Sissy, Snow, it won't work. :) We met up with BB at Cracker Barrel to get Marky back and she took some pics of the babies. I wish this little rocking chair wasn't $100, I really think Charlie should have one!
 

Every time we got to Cracker Barrel Marky tries to get Sissy to play checkers with him, and every time she has no clue how to and stacks them up. And then he's frustrated. If you want to pretend the checkers are horses- then you've got a game she can get behind.
