Reinactment

This wasn't the actual angry moment. I had her recreate the magic so I could take a picture.
I heard her saying

"Mama, you made a MISTAKE!"

According to Parker, I made a mistake when I threw away this very noisy Happy Meal toy. She got it over a year ago, and it has yet to get lost or make its way to the bottom of a toy bin. My mistake was that I didn't shove it far enough down in the trash can so she wouldn't find it.

Tree v. Car

Here's the picture I took last night. This back behind Parker's swingset....like if you had your back to the swingset. Bob said it was bad manners to take a picture, but I did anyway. I can't remember if i mentioned in my earlier post that the chainsaw man showed up at 11:30pm to cut the tree off the cars. He told the neighbor he was booked, so it was last night or wait until Friday. There are trees, big and small, down like this all over town.

Power restored

The power came back on around 2pm. Yay!

Here's a picture of Parker making a beaded necklace.

Weather report

We are all safe and sound after the huge storm last night. I'm posting this from work, since the power is still out at home. Our home, and about 300,000 other peoples from what I've read.
Parker was very confused by the power outage, and was walking around flipping on all the switches trying to make the lights work. When the power does come back on, it's gonna look like Vegas in there.
Our storm drama was that a tree back behind Parker's swingset fell onto the neighbor's cars. Notice I didn't say "our tree". We think it is in an easment, so not technically ours. We assume the insurace companies will sort it all out. It's a good thing we didn't start filling that back flower bed with shade loving plants though.
If anyone knows how long a food in a freezer "lasts" before it has to be pitched out, email my gmail address, or just post a comment and I can check it from my phone.

Apple, pt 2

She is soooooo concerned with
1. The moon
2. Airplanes

Since she was able to talk, she would yell out any time she saw the moon or an airplane.

And cancel what I said about her being in a good mood lately. The Grouch is back. I should have taken her to the doctor last week to see what was causing the happy.

Big Apple

Parker at an entire apple the other day. She didn't want it cut up, she ordered it "big and tall, no cuttin'".
