Kinsey's trip to the store. 

It starts at home. She took this one and said, "too dark."

Momma's truck

Again

Idk.

The white truck she promised. 

The silver one.

The red one.

"Oh, mom. There's one."

Out of the parking lot and into the store.

She declared, "Pickles!!" She does not like pickles.

She does like fruit snacks.

"Look broccoli"

"...and they have corn!"

It's like she's seeing things for the first time. And is amazed that they have each thing. It's super funny.

My favorite!! Very smart self portrait.

Back in the car now.

Her view out the window.

Now at home and look who's awake.

In her room.

She stopped photos shortly after this when she announced (because of this very commerical)  that "we need to go back to Atlanta, because the Fresh Beat Band is going to be there!!" Remind me again, how old do you have to be before going to a concert? Even a Disney one.

Share a room

Last Wednesday, we sold the pool table. While the guy and five of his employees were here dissembling it, I said, "you wanna buy a couch? You got room on the trailer out there and it's a sleeper!" And he did and there was.
Uh oh. Kinsey is not going to like this, we thought. But as Rusty pointed out, she'll be okay once she realizes Indy's bed can go in there. True. So I gotta make that happen before she gets home. It really wasn't that hard to do either.
When I picked Kinsey up from school, I said, "I've got a surprise for you at home!"
"What, mom? WHAT?!"
"You don't have a couch in your room anymore."
Dirty look!
"Sister's bed is in there now!"
With a big o' smile on her face, she said (and I quote!), "What the crap?!"
When we got home, Indy threw her hands up and said, "whoa!" at the missing bed in what was her room.
Five nights later, Kinsey has slept in her bed all night long each night!! She even manages to sneak out of there around 8:00am without waking sister.

Through the eye(piece) of a child...

The other day the kids were particularly needy and naughty and not necessarily in that order. I was climbing the walls by 11am. Plan A was out the window because by 11am all the slides in town have been sitting in the sun for hours now and are too hot to touch. Plan B involved a mass text and a meeting for ice cream.
The ice cream was long gone but the dread of going home to needy and naughty had reared it's head, I went to digging in my purse.
Ah ha! Here take this. Occupy yourself. It will be fun.
And it she did! And it was! In fact, we've decided that it will be a weekly project for her this summer.
What is it? Oh, right. I gave her my small-fit-in-your-pocket camera.
"What are you going to take pictures of next week? You know you can do it at home or outside or at the park or" Interrupted.
"Trucks."
"Trucks? Like mom and dad's 'trucks'? That could be fun. Climb in and." Interrupted
"No. Blue. Red. And silver trucks."
"Well, the neighbor has a white truck, I'm sure you could." Interrupted
"No, blue, red and silver. When we go to the store, we'll see them."
"Okay Kinsey, sounds like a plan!" (Who even knew she noticed or liked trucks. Idk where that's coming from.)

Here's what she captured this week:

Austin's hand. He may have been her assistance or subject. Who knows.

Every girl needs to learn this!!

Hey beautiful! Good shot!

CUTE! I think this is my favorite.

Stay tuned for "Trucks" edition.
