What Olfert Boys do when they're together

 It begins with innocent chit chat after a meal.
 Oh and an empty 2 liter still on the table.
 Warning sign: Everyone moves to the door with suspicious glances over the shoulder.
 And another 2 liter that's half filled.
 Another warning sign: Dawson's mischievous face
15 minutes later...

BOOM!!

Water blobbing and boo boos

 This is what we do in South Dakota. We go water blobbing which creates great laughter for preschoolers. We folded a large sheet of plastic in half and duct-taped it together. Then filled it with water. It's short lived fun as it drains overnight, unless you are a super duct-taper, but worth the smiles.


This is not from water-blobbing, but from concrete and crocs. I know now why I don't like crocs. She's one tough little girl.

Nana

This little ham can bring laughs and groans at the same time. For example,
- While trying to discipline, she makes funny faces or stares at you with this look in her eyes that makes it very difficult to be serious.
- Flip flops are "foo-fwops"
- At bedtime, she YELLS "Goodbye" repeatedly from her bed.
- "I do it myself" is heard many times a day.

Gotta love the little gal.

Stowaways

 We were at the garden recently, and we picked up a couple of darling stowaways. I think we'll keep them.
 They said they were on their way to Montana...

 To dance with a cowboy prince at the ball.

Summer!!!

 Capturing an epic moment...in front of the World Famous Corn Palace only in South Dakota!




 She knocked out on the living room floor while I was tending to Nana in the other room.

Mothers Day

 I never knew when I started the journey of motherhood that two little girls could bring so much joy.
 Especially when they call you a good cooker.
 And whisper random "I love yous"
 And give awesome spa treatments to their mama.
Thank You God for two beautiful princesses!

Garden Killer

 We are attempting a garden at the community gardens. So far out of 2 whole rows of beans and peas, we have three pea plants. That's right. Three. Hence the Garden Killer. On the positive side, the cucumbers and squash are much more resilient. Grandma and Mom, I could use a visit and gardening lesson.
