Favorite Things We'll Miss about Oregon Countdown: #10 - April Tulipfest

Silver Falls and then Adelaine does

We are real sentimental these days about our time in Oregon and trying to see what we can. I hadn't been to Silver Falls yet, so we went on Sunday. It was lovely. We had a lovely hike around Silver Falls and of course Adelaine fell and got mud everywher because she cannot NOT fall.

911

We got a call tonight from 911. Though I didn't realize my emergency talk a few months ago had stuck, my two little children called 911 tonight saying many things including asking if the lady wanted to come to the "booger party". I can't discipline them right now - my stoic husband can, I am laughing still.

Later in the evening: The event continued when to police actually showed up saying someone called 911 and called them a "Stupid Poo-Poo head" (the "stupid" part is a HUGE no-no in our family) and Lukas almost had booger party right in his pants. Poor little Lukas was crying so hard, saying his stomach hurt and that he already asked God for forgiveness. Next to him was his sister (little miss No Conscience) just smiling and waving at the cop, taking NO responsibility. What different kids they are and what an expected evening we had!
