A Day At the Holsapple Artist's Colony

Bodhi, you were Mommy's little artist this morning.  Mommy was trying to think of something new and fun to do for you, and decided to get the markers out.  You were super excited and whipped out several masterpieces.  You had marker all over your hands, on the rug, and all over you mouth, from sticking your hands in your mouth.  You have two more teeth coming in to round out a  mouth full of teeth hee/hee so, you have been super delightful to be around the last three days! Jude, you wanted to participate in the art session too, but you wanted to add a rustic touch to Bodhi's pictures by crumbling them up :)-  Bodhi did not appreciate your added touch and thus, a fussing match ensued.

This afternoon, Jude, you went to Grandmoo's to visit her after we clipped a family friend's dog's nails.  You and Grandmoo have become buddies!  Bodhi loves the Grandmoo, and Mommy knew it was just a matter of time before you and her became BFF too.  Bodhi, when you woke up, Mommy took you to Lowes and the grocery store.  We needed to pick up a shovel (so Daddy can shovel out the mud and water from our basement from all the rain), and some groceries.  It was kind of weird, Mommy kept being told by random strangers, "you are so blessed, look at her!"  Now, one person saying this, not so weird, but three different people at two different stores said this exact same phrase.  Mommy knows she is blessed, I don't think I was giving out the vibe that I don't feel blessed hee/hee  We were having a good time together on our shopping adventure, as we always do.  Now, had I been beating you, I can see why several people would say that hee/hee but that wasn't the case nor would it ever be the case :)  Well, I'll reserve saying that until after you are through your teenage years!  Us Grills' women tend to be a bit feisty as teenagers  :) 

When we returned from the store, Jude had just finished eating dinner and was going to Grandmoo's house, and Sister Kelly was here waiting on us.  The Governor and Sister Kelly had bought us all a carry out dinner from Bob Evans, including you, Ms. Piggy who ate three bowls hee/hee  Mommy and Daddy were surprised and very appreciative of Sister Kelly and the Governor's thoughtfulness... otherwise, Daddy jokes we would have been eating a nice big bowl of hot water soup :)  Of course you two would have been well fed, we are just broker than we've been in a long time.  We had to get a new washer and dryer, major car repair, new air conditioner unit for your room, Bodhi, and a new (used) lawn mower... all in one month!  Ouch! 

After dinner, Uncle Cory, Sister Kelly's and the Governor's BFF, came by to visit.  He's such a nice guy, Mommy's not real sure what he thinks about our crazy family hee/hee but he keeps coming back :)  You two are in bed fast asleep, so now it's time for Mommy and Daddy to watch a movie on the "tube," that's "old man" language for television hee/hee  Your Daddy speaks "old man" and "bear" ... "bear" is when he is half asleep and mumbles crazy things.

Mommy's budding artist! ;)

Juders, you were more interested in chewing and tearing Bodhi's work up hee/hee

Look at that concentration!

Here Buddha, let Momma help you :)

"Nakey Buddha" ;)
Juders, you never let Mommy finish changing your diaper, you always crawl away!  Mommy has some hilarious pictures of your bare butt and "little nuggets" crawling around, but Mommy didn't think it would be appropriate to post hee/hee

Bodhi pulling her bubs!  So sweet! :)

Sister Kelly fed you a new baby food... spaghetti and meatballs (stage 3) 

Buddha, you gagged when you got a meatball/chunk

"Dang Sista Kelly, that is nasty... you eat it!" "Where's ma Momma?"

"Happy Spaghetti stained-faced Buddha" ;)

Bodhi, Mommy tries to have you eat your fruit before your meal... as recommended by "The Doctors," on the television show "The Doctors."  You were eating an apple, yummm!

You have been a pistol the last few days when eating!  Your teeth have you all messed up :(

Goofy Baby Bodhi ;)
