The Barneys: Apple-Juice

Apple-Juice

A while ago, I had cut up some pieces of apple for Summer's snack. She was also carrying around her "juice" (water in a sippy cup). She brought this over to me and said, "Apple Juice. Apple Juice," and I just had to take a picture. (Even now when she saw the picture she said it again.)

Some more of Summer's photography skills:

Thug Claire

We took Summer's stitches out Sunday night. Our friend Julie Massey did it for us. Summer did really well--she whimpered a little bit because I think she knew it was supposed to hurt, but I don't think it really hurt her. Julie put some topical cream on it to numb it, and then took them out with her special scissors. I'll get a picture of it soon and post it.

Also, we are officially out of our old apartment and into our new one! Yeah. Thanks to the Harris' for all their help and hard work, and to the Days for taking Summer for us. The next post will also have some pics of our new place.

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."
