She Purrs

One Sunday I was holding Athena on my lap which I don't often do anymore because she has grown so much. She loves having her arm or back scratched (not tickled or massaged but actually scratched. Just like her dad). During Sacrament meeting Ster or I will scratch her to keep her calm and quiet and still.
This particular Sunday as I scratched her back on my lap I heard her purring. It was a purr that came from within...like a true cat! Not the purr of a little girl pretending to be a cat! Not even what I thought possible for a human. lol

Since then she does that, mostly at church, once in a while.
She has taken pretending to be a cat to a whole-nother level!

Athena and the Dryer

Athena has discovered the dryer as a place she can climb into. It's surprising she hasn't discovered it earlier than this. We've been in this house where the dryer is accessible to the kids for a little while already.

Anyway, she asked yesterday if she could climb inside the empty dryer. I allowed it, teaching her not to close the door when inside.
Today she went back inside, this time with her blanky, a pillow and a book! :)

But then her daddy came home and said she can't do that anymore. He worries.

Gum in the Eyebrow

Sterling gave the kids each a gumball from our gumball machine.
An hour later I told the boys to do their yoga for the day (something we've been doing lately).
I saw the boys stretching in yoga positions when I noticed Ty's face. He had gum stuck to his forehead, hair line and eyebrow!

I examined it and he claimed he didn't know how he got it stuck on his forehead.
I saw that the gum was stuck pretty good. It stuck and he had removed as much as he could himself. He had pulled the gum from his eyebrow multiple times. And with the gum came his eyebrow hairs! He is now missing a whole section of hair in the center of his left eyebrow!

He is, of course, embarrassed. So, I wont take a photo and make him feel worst.
But it is pretty funny!
