Front End Loader

Okay pop quiz... Do you know the difference between an excavator and a front end loader?  How about the difference between an excavator and a back hoe?  You don't know? Well maybe you should ask Anne.  She knows.  I'm not kidding. 
Grandma Stradley got Dallas a book called my first truck board book.  Since Dallas can't read and would rather eat the book he shares it with Anne.  She is obsessed!  She talks about trucks all the time.  If I say lets read a book she will throw everything out of her toy box just to find her "tuck book".  We have some construction going on in our neighborhood and Anne has discovered all the trucks there.  She will point them out and say "Loader mommy LOADER!" 

Today we just sat and watched them pick up piles of dirt and we talked about the semi and the excavator and the front end loader.  She was in heaven.  I'm beginning to wonder about nature vs nurture.  She currently talks about football and basketball all the time.  She loves trucks. I don't know if I should dress her in pink more or what.  I think she idolizes Andrew a lot and well... he talks about sports a lot.  The trucks are pretty neat so I don't blame her for being fascinated.  Anyway.  Anne loves trucks.  Should I be worried? Nah. She still loves to burp babies and take care of everything and yesterday she demanded that I paint her toe nails purple.  I adore my little truck lovin gal.

Caption Contest!!!

Just the other night Andrew and I were enjoying dear Dallas and his sweet personality.  We wondered to ourselves... Selves, what in the world does Dallas think about?  Then we started talking about Monkey Though Translators and how cool that would be... Well anyway.  I need you gumshoes to decipher what it is that Dallas and Anne are thinking (Carmen Sandiego anyone?).  Best caption for each picture wins my hard earned appreciation and life long friendship.  Have at it.  Tell me what my kids are thinking.
