Who needs a helper?

This Sunday Daddy and some really nice friends painted the baby's room a nice florescent green color that I'm sure she will come to adore once we get her some baby sunglasses (more on that in a later post).

They boys also used the afternoon to perfect their rib recipes and cooking techniques. Obviously cooking six slabs of ribs is more than just a one-man job!

Enter Grace, who ended up being some much needed relief and served as the timekeeper for the entire cooking process. Just kidding! However, she wanted in on the action and before we knew it she had on her glove and was ready to baste!

Here she is doing the secret "The Pork University" Memphis In May team handshake...

Daddy teaching her the basics of basting.
A lesson every (almost) three year cherishes.

I'm not sure why Peyton wasn't gloved up either. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her since Sunday morning...

Wait, never mind - here she is!

Lesson #165:
NEVER forget your Elmo slippers when putting on your knee pads and helmet inside.

A big THANK YOU to Jason (aka: "my favorite boy" ~ Peyton), Won (kind of, I think he ducked out of most of the work to "check on" Mallory) & Jessie (aka the Trim Queen). Baby Fuller #3 can't wait to be blinded by the Planet Krypton color we've chosen and you've so lovingly applied.

Finally

It's been so long since I've posted an update I don't even know where to begin. Therefore I won't begin, I'll just continue. The title of the post obviously references the lack of posting happening here but it also references the biggest surprise I got at Christmas... an iPhone!!! I was stunned, shocked, and super excited when Stephen surprised me with it on Christmas morning but apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Exhibit A: Peyton

Exhibit B: Grace


Video Exhibit C: Grace

I've downloaded a bunch of kid friendly, educational (if you can believe it) games for the girls to play. So far they have come in handy at the doctor's office and at restaurants if things get ugly. It's almost scary how well and quickly they've adapted to the technology. Makes me wonder what their "iPhone" will be, a flying car perhaps? A robot that makes dinner for you? (I hope I'm still alive for that one!)

This has made me ponder the following question, which I try to avoid thinking about at all costs:

When will they get cell phones of their own?

I'm shuddering just thinking about the bills! I don't think I got one until I was 16 or 17. It lived in the glove compartment of the car and was only to be used in an emergency. I was in college before I got a phone I could actually use!

Scary stuff!
