i have a few more favorites, but havent had time to edit any of these pics, and want to zoom in on my other faves. :)

so Jane has come to stay with "grandmommy", "grandaddy", and "aunt mercy" for the week. . . . it has been awesomeness fun, and REALLY funny. for example:

me: so, what are those animals in the pen over there, emma claire?

e.c.: oh, those are the meat-ducks.

me: meat-ducks? whats that?

e.c.: they're ducks that grow up and turn into meat..

me: jay, PLEASE wash your hands!

j.: ooooook, aunt mercy.. but i want to go play with my toad!

me: ok , but u have to wash ur hands before touching anything else please..

j.: dont worry, i wont touch u with my toady hands.

^btw, im not that prissy, but we were about to eat, and jane had been going back in forth between eating bread (that was for appetizer) and playing with her toad.. sorry, but im not that big on toad-tasting bread.. or any other food for that matter.

j: i think im going to call u aunt squeaky, ok? ok.

me: what?

j: i love you, aunt squeaky.

me: i love u too, silly gooseball.

j: AUNT SQUEAKY! AHAHHAHAHAHHHAHA...

me: *becomes tickle monster*

j: so, aunt mercy, grandmommy promised that u and me would watch a movie tonight.

me: really??

j: yes. and the movies ICE AGE!

me: really?.. and did she mention where we were going to watch ice age?

j: on your laptop of course..

^ reason funny: "grandmommy" had mentioned to jane that if i said yes, we (j and i) MIGHT be able to watch ice age. also, my laptop is slightly broken (a few things wont work on it, plus my dvd player on it is very tempermental) and our dvd player thats hooked up to our tv is broken.. so yeah. thankfully, i agreed, and so did my laptop. so that worked out well after all ! :)

ok im tired, and tomorrow i go stay at the Abernathys house, then head off to Disneyworld (or Mouse Mafia, either name u prefer) with Mrs. Jenny, Alexis and Caroline P, and Caroline and Rebecca A. :) hoorah for fun times L.W. :D
