Mr. Chicken and Ms. Hen

Ida has become quite the Mother Hen lately. She has taken to scratching Emerson's back, sweeping the floor, making house rules, and brushing my hair. Yesterday she was very interested in washing the dishes. I LOVE HER! We had a blast. She washed and rinsed and instructed me on how to dry. It felt good to be mothered by her. She is awesome!

We planted the garden today and decided our yield is going to be super yummy. We planted big beefy tomatoes, little yellow tomatoes, green and yellow peppers, green beans, and cucumbers in the Topsy Turvy. There is nothing like planting the garden and getting all dirty from the fun. We were pretty muddy and definitely needed a bath. Emerson was sitting on the floor all wrapped in a towel waiting to get dressed after his bath. Ida was doing her thing, so I decided to see if Emerson needed some help with his "sticky pajamas."

Mom: "Why don't you stand up, it will be easier to get your pjs on."

Emerson: "Well, I'm trying to lay eggs."

Mom: obviously laughing "What kind of eggs?"

Emerson: "The orange kind or the green kind or the scrambled kind....any kind."
