She's a Wild One!!

Sweet Meg is quickly turning into Wild Meg, but she sure is irresistible. Every time she sees her cousin Boone, she wants to wrestle him to the ground. She literally knocks him down, get on his back and mauls him for whatever item he has in his hands. I hope he learns how to defend himself soon, poor kid! She has recently discovered the great outdoors. I'm too afraid to let her roam the grass since our last episode where we had to chase 3000 sheep off. They left lamb poop all over and I'm too worried she'll try to eat it. So since she is resigned to the concrete she is already starting to work the scooter and is loving every opportunity to play with Dad. I love the picture of him holding her up to the basket. It is lowered (he's tall but not THAT tall)!!

Bikes & More Bikes

Two weekends ago we were all going to Tony and Alli's and I was going to walk with the kids and Mark was going to drive to pick us up there. Mark gets in his truck, backs up, and crunch, runs over a scooter. A few swear words, he pulls forward and to the other side of the driveway, backs up and crunch, runs over Kate's bike. More swear words. Incidently, Kate has really never gotten a bike of her own and the hand-me-down that was a mess was ready to be retired. Mark took her to Walmart with just her to get her her very own bike. She was one happy little girl!! Launa's comments: "I am leaving my bike behind Dad's truck so he can run mine over next!" I informed her that would only get her no bike for the entire summer.

Launa's 6 Year Old Stats

Launa Virtue is growing up. Today she weighed in at 43 pounds and was 44.5" tall. She is approximately in the 35th percentile so kind of little. I think I was even smaller than she was. She has come so far this year in her learning. She writes the cutest notes where she sounds out the letters (my highlights include one telling me I was the best mom ever and another one telling me she wasn't going to church because I was mean). She counts all the time and is an absolute nazi about her homework and schoolwork. It has to all be done on Monday when it's assigned. She has also mastered jumping rope (which was quite a feat), hula hooping, she's a pro at bike riding and is now mastering her electric scooter. She has so much energy and actually likes to work. She continues to amaze me with her logic for such a young age. There is nothing better than when Launa decides to be sweet. She gives eskimo kisses, writes sweet notes, does little favors and wraps little gifts. I hope she continues to develop that really sweet side to her personality. She definitely always keeps me on my toes.
