Funny girl

I learned something today. Jessa and I were reading Dr. Seuss's, "Hop on Pop" this morning. She was listening quietly until we got to the page that says,

"HOP

POP

We like to hop.

We like to hop

on top of Pop.

STOP

You must not hop on Pop."

Then Jessa informed me, "You tan, (can), hop on Momma".

I've been warned.

Love, love, love those kiddos! Will and Jessa are outside right now. There's lots of screaming. I go check every few minutes to make sure nobody's being eaten by a bear, but this last time I discovered Will with my fall scarecrow he found ? somewhere ?. It is larger than he is, but that did not stop him from chasing his sister with it. Hence, the screaming. . . Just got back from another check. No longer chasing Jessa, wait, I just saw the straw hair bounce by the window again. I told him it is a scareCROW, not a scareJESSA. All he said was, "It works on Jessa's too."

Emily has become very mobile the last few weeks. She is eight months old now and not crawling, but ROLLING. She rolls to wherever it is she wants to be - to whatever it is she wants to retrieve. It reminds me of the old "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie when Violet turns into a blueberry and the Oompa-Loompa's roll her away. She rolls with as much ease. :)

Jeff installed our over-the-range microwave two days ago. I have used it a total of 0 times. Don't want to get it dirty just yet. It looks so nice and clean right now!
