Set aside your Saturdays people. Recaps on the week's events happening in picture formation. All the random goodness you can stand.

Today after lunch Jozi Noel thought standing up behind me on the couch was absolutely hilarious. Maybe it was the fact that she was getting away with standing up on the couch. Not sure. Real live laughing tears funny none the less. Bless her heart- she's just like me.

Earlier in the week we hit up the Children's Museum for last minute FFF (forced family fun) before the mommy of the house had to go back to work. I do like that place, just not at kid rush hour, and it was like bumper to bumper ATL traffic kid style. BUT, we got in for FREE. The lady at the front desk had two free passes. So we hit the high spots and back to the car. Success. BTW my child did the kid grocery store part going 900 mph. Sort of looked like she thought it was black Friday and that maybe all the other kids were going to get the fake free food items before she could fill her cart up. Exactly, how I like to do the grocery scene myself.

We met this kid in the playhouse. He was super nice to JN. He was also 4! I could not believe it. She's 1 and 1/2 and pushing his height! Not calling him short. Just evidence that we are really tall.

FFF wasn't so much forced after all. ;)

Random acts of fitness.

This pair is possibly dangerous.

That's Westan my nephew. He is four. My sister and I have tried to take them (JN, Westan, & Haghan Rae (my niece)) to breakfast or to lunch together at least once a week this summer. So this week was our last 2k14 summer dining experience. Every time afterwards either I or my sister would say, "why exactly did we do this again?" It was usually the one that struggled the hardest that particular meal. But, to the kids it may have been the highlight of the summer.

Westan and Jozi Noel have the funniest bond EVER. They have what seems to be their own language. It starts as soon as they see each other. If they have been apart for more than 3 or 4 days you better believe you’re not getting a word in edge wise. And it's a very foreign tongue that can only be spoken VERY loudly. HAHA.

Seriously, though West thinks it's so funny to think of as many words as possible and then have JN repeat them. Then JN think's that because she's making West laugh the same word needs to be repeat at least 10 consecutive times cracking herself up in the process.

It is pretty funny. At least the first 37 words are. HAHA!! Just kidding. But, occasionally, we do get "the look" from other people trying to enjoy there breakfast without the toddler remix. Those are the people that forgot about the kid life- apparently.

Haghan Rae getting in on the hugging action.

She's the perfect addition to this three child mix we have. While the other language is going on she sits and does exactly what's she is told looking sweet as ever. She's so go with the flow. Sweet as she is gorgeous.

BUT, occasionally when least expected something comes over her and she'll throw a really hard punch. Mostly, these are geared toward Westan. But, ever so often innocent bystanders get flogged.

I truly love how much the three of them love each other. It is pure honest to goodness love.

Joz did this while saying "baby potty, potty baby." I think that's a good sign. That and possibly a sign that we could at some point find a baby doll in the potty. I guess we've been warned.

She really did like the basssseegggtiii I made her. Until, she realized it was all over her. Then she was irate. Can't blame her really.

First ever fingernail painting happened this week too. Toenails have been painted lots. But, fingers on a wiggly toddler are a whole different skill level. A towel may or may not have got ruined in the process.

Friday morning's coffee was FREE. Not to mention it was Friday and it was coffee.

This picture may not seem like a big deal to most of you two readers reading this. But, Miranda Olyroyd (big time CrossFitter) commented on pics of JN's playroom where we hung a big poster of her up on the wall doing muscle-ups. :)

I love how much he loves her.

Last Saturday (that's pretty close to this week's events) we met "Dane Dane" (Dana) for breakfast and almost had to take this rocker with us. She {hearts} all types of chairs.
