Crime & Punishment

Yesterday Chancery got a time-out, & she stomped her way to the stairs for her 6 minute punishment.  When it was over, I told her to come & talk to me.

Chancery: “Do you forgive me, Mummy?”

Me: “Yes, I forgive you.  Will you try not to do that again?”

Chancery: “Yes, I’ll try not to do that again… Are all of my 6 minutes over?”

Me: “Yes.”

Chancery: “Six minutes is quick!”

Me: “Should I give you longer time-outs?  I’ll have to give you another minute when you turn 7, but should I just start giving you longer ones now?”

Chancery: “Well, when I turn 7, you can give me 8 minutes then, ok?”

Me: “Well, we’ll try 7 minutes & see how it goes.”


Chancery: “Ok, I just like asking if you’ll forgive me at the end of them.”

Chancery: “I went to a birthday party yesterday with Daddy!”

 

Asher: “Is that where these balloons are from?”

 

Asher: “I thought they were for Uncle Kurt’s birthday!”

 

Chancery: “No!  It was Uncle Kurt’s birthday yesterday too, but he didn’t turn 90!”

 

Asher: “I guess not.  He didn’t seem that old when we saw him last summer.”

 

Chancery: “Did you remember to tell Uncle Kurt ‘Happy Birthday’?”

 

Asher: “No, I’m not on Facebook yet.”

 

Asher: “…but we can use Mummy’s blog to say it!”

 

“Happy Birthday, Uncle Kurt!”

Asher: “It was so hot yesterday that Digby was panting… like this!”

 

Chancery: “And I was wearing shorts!”

 

Asher: “It was pretty awesome!”

Asher: “Surprise!”

 

Chancery: “Happy Mother’s Day, Mothers!”

Sunday Pictures… of a different sort

Sunday we went to my parents’ church & had cake afterward for a few 70th birthdays all happening around the same time.  It was nice to go back & see a few people we had not seen in a few years.

 

After church it was family picture time.  This is the second photo we took, & you might say, “That’s a really good picture!” but you are not my Dad…

Apparently 7 was the magical number of pictures until we got the perfect one. 

But WAIT!  Dad had to go get his new sweatshirt, so IT would be in the photos too!

I bet he was glad to have us around!

A Gathering of Generations

The second surprise for my Dad was that we were all going up to Lynden to have breakfast with the extended family.  We had 4 generations represented.  All in all a great turn out!

  In the front, are the cousins, along the right side of the ‘L’ are the parents, & Great Uncles & Aunts, & in the booths in the back are the cousins’ kids.

 

Great Uncle Bill always has good stories!

There are 21 cousins, & 10 of us made it to breakfast (we took this picture after Michael left).  Represented in this picture are Washington, Hawaii, Iowa, Maryland, & Prince Edward Island!

After breakfast we went to Grandma’s farm, & of course had to swing on the rope in the haymow!

Then we went to visit Grandma.  We had a nice time reminiscing & visiting together.
