Why? Part II

Kari: Where's Daddy?
Mom: Daddy's at work.
Kari: "Why?"
Mom: He's bringin' home the bacon.
Kari: "Why?"
And on, and on, and on....
until Kevin and I burst out laughing yesterday after dinner as we were not expecting this to come out of Kari's mouth:

Dad: Kari, what does Daddy do?
Kari: "Uhm, homing the bacon!"

Clearly, phrases are beginning to stick, which means we are entering upon a very funny yet potentially dangerous stage of Kari's vocabulary development.

We had a beautiful Sunday and decided to spend it with some good friends and also just happen to have kids the same age as Kari. Charlie, Nolan and Kari enjoyed yet another water balloon "fight" this evening. It's hardly fair to call it a fight as they are mostly thrilled to just watch the balloons burst in the grass. It's amazing how fast 30 some-odd minutes of water balloon prep and fill-up can go in probably less than 3 minutes with these kids. If I had been smart, I would have spent all of Kari's nap time this afternoon filling balloons. Instead, I have begun to try to stockpile uninterrupted sleep while I still can.
