Momma Tries – Kids Play

Oma broke the side mirror on her car. Sure I could tell you some grand story of how she was hit in a parking lot or a vehicle clipped her side mirror as she was driving across a narrow bridge in the dark on a corner and how scary it was. But truth be told she backed out of our driveway, saw the garbage can but thought she would miss it and just kept on backing up. With that said I did my best to fix her mirror so she would be proud to drive her car. Some of my best work I think. (ok, the tape is really holding it tight while the JB Weld dries) Try and try as I may I struggle coming up with good hair do’s for Jo. Braiding is actually difficult but I practice and she is patient with me as she sits and sits. The other day while walking I saw this little girl about 2years old who had her hair pulled up into a bun. I walked by at first, thought about her hair, then turned around and said to her mother “excuse me, you might find this a silly question but I’m wondering how you did this to your daughter’s hair?” She was so kind as we stood in their front yard as she tried to explain it, she finally took her daughters hair down and redid the hair as I watched.
I thanked her and as I walked away I thought to myself…Our poor daughter is stuck with two Mom’s who struggle helping her become the “girl” she wants to be. Are you crying now? It was suppose to be a sad story, so tear up please and stop laughing!
Jo may be crying right now. Sunshine and yard play.
This will be a common theme again for our web site this summer as you can see it has started already this spring.
Cole had his buddy from wrestling (Noah) spend the night, then hung out and played most of Saturday. They are about the same height, weight and love the same stuff. They were darn funny while playing football. This was a serous game people! Full tackle don’tcha know! Not one tear ran down a cheek but I think each wanted to at least once because there were a couple hard hits. Mostly they laughed and just wore each other out!This little gal has turned out to be a great friend for Jo. Alexis, plays hard, loves to dress up and “pretty” up but will turn around and dig for bugs and make mud pies with lots of pretty flowers and rocks. All of these are Jo’s likes and loves! Both girls come in filthy each day they are out playing together…almost looking like they have tans on their faces. The laughter that comes out of them each day is sure fun to listen too!
