The City Mice visit the Country Mice

Guess who came to visit today! Little cousin G. Isn’t she a doll? I was so excited for Tina and G to get here that I even styled my hair! Did I mention that I dyed it last weekend? Um. It didn’t turn out orange like I was afraid that it might, but I am definitely visible in the dark. It’s more of a light bulb yellow. I usually have my hair somewhere between dark, dark, brown and growing out to my natural color which is the same exact color as Seth’s. I thought it would be fun to dye it blond for the summer before going dark for the rest of my life, but I’m not sure that I like this particular shade of yellow. The last time my hair was even close to this color was when I dyed my hair almost black with a blond strip halfway underneath. It looked kind of cool, but as an all-over color? Not so much. I’ll post some pictures later.
Anyway, back to Miss G. Here she is with Mommy Tina. Look at those beautiful eyes!
Jackson and Tucker thought she was pretty cool. They also thought her Gerberpuffers were cool.

Look at that! Gracie had so much fun that she didn’t want to leave!

We had a good time, but it made me wish that Tina and Eric lived closer so that I could see them more often.

 

Breakfast at our House

Our mornings usually start out around 7:45 a.m. when I roll out of bed, throw on some clothes and get the boys up. If I’m lucky I even get a shower. If my youngest brother, David is staying with us we drive him to school and then come home and have breakfast.

We take breakfast very seriously at our house. Mostly because I love breakfast food. Our usual breakfast is eggs, bacon (if we have it), and toast with peanut butter and chokecherry jelly. Some days I make pancakes, muffins, or coffee cake and we even have hashbrowns once in a while.

Thankfully, Jackson and Tucker share my love of breakfast and are more than happy to eat eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast every morning.

That is, every morning until this morning when Jackson looked at his eggs and said in his saddest voice: “Mama, can I ask you to make supper instead?
