I just love how kids minds work!! Today I was giving the famous "there are starving children in Africa" speech to Julie. Since we have been dealing with a lot of complaining and whining every night at dinner. So as I am telling Julie that she should be grateful that she has food to eat at all, even if it's not her favorite. Lily says "Mommy I know somewhere else that has kids with nothing to eat" and I say "oh really?" "where is that?", She says "South America, duh!". Well seeing as we have never talked about children in South America, I found it quite amazing that she has picked this up somewhere. They are way ahead of where I was at 5 years old!

I am so excited! We will be having our pictures taken by a friend soon. It will be our first outdoors family pictures. I've always wanted to have a more relaxed family picture. But, I always get lured in by those "package deals" at other places with pull down backdrops. So this will be fun!! Can't wait!!
