Am I really a dinosaur?

I've decided the only way to have any control over what is posted on my blog is to start writing myself. Then maybe my blog imposters will stop.

First, a disclaimer. Don't expect anything clever or witty. It isn't going to happen.

We have had Halee and her two children here for the last two weeks. It has been so fun. We took them to the airport yesterday so it is really quiet here today. I had forgotten how much energy it takes to chase a two year old around (and Madelynn is a very active two year old). So today I am using my day of rest to do just that--rest.

One day this week at nap time, Madelynn and I were racing to the bed to read her books. I yelled, "last one on the bed is a turkey". After we hit the bed I asked her who the turkey was. She turned to me and said, "You're a dinosaur, I the turkey". Halee thought it was really funny, but I am wondering at this child's perceptiveness. I am starting to feel a little like a dinosaur.


Here are a few pictures of our fun two weeks with Halee, Madelynn, and Paul:
