End of The Summer Snowballs

This is it.

It's not as hot anymore.

We went out for one last snowball.

Then they got to swing off all of that sugar energy!!

What a gorgeous evening.

The days are getting shorter.

Won't be able to hang out in the evenings like this much longer.

Nice hair Bubb!

How hot is my husband, I ask you?!?!?!

This one swings to the beat of her own drum

I think it's time to pass down the "Hot Pants" to Mary.

Gettin' a bit tight there, Sistas!!

This one can't "thwing witowt ma sunglathes...."

Looka What I Drawed

 So, Izzy came to me & says,

"momma, looka what I drawed."

She loves sitting at her doodle pad,

drawing for long periods of time.

I wasn't surprised when

she brought it to me.

I was, however, surprised

when she came to me with this:

I was so impressed I had to take a picture.

She's two & a half years old.

Impressive.

Not to be out-done by his

two & a half year old sister,

Alexander came to me & says,

"Look what I drew."

 Chris pointed out to me that

neither of them are self-portraits.

Alexander always, and I mean always,

draws his birthmark

on the side of his mouth

when he's drawing himself.

Not kidding.

 Then he got to working on his numbers.

Not bad.

Sophie, not to be outdone by either her

five year old brother

or her

two & a half year old sister,

comes to me and says,

"momma, looka what I drawed."

It took us a while.

Looking at all angles,

different ideas came up.

Nothing prepared us

for her answer.

Turds.

Nice.

Friday Movie Night

Alternately Titled:

Let's put the mattress on the Floor and have Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

Let's let the kids tire themselves out by jumping on the mattress before Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

Let's pray none of our kids fall & bust their heads open while jumping on the mattress before Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

The Goofier they get, the Tireder they get by jumping on the mattress before Movie Night

 Alternately Titled:

Delirium Sets in While Jumping on the Mattress on Movie Night

Daddy Got a New Hair Cut

Just had to document the momentous occasion.

It only comes around once or twice a year

:-)))))

And boy, is he ever handsome.

I am completely...

smitten over this boy...

...Giggly over his goofiness

...Fluttery over his silliness

...Crazy about his Boldness.



Melting Crayons

Everybody's doing it.

Why not us?

It could be fun.

I put it off long enough.

I didn't think the girls would "get it."

But they did great.

They each got turns picking out the colors & breaking them into the tins.

They even picked the right colors.

I told them, "pick out a yellow one & put it in the yellow tin."

I guess I totally underestimate them sometimes.

At least Chris says I do.

Serious concentration.

(Note: see their set tongues?)

"We did it!!"

Into a 250 degree oven for 1/2 hour.

Let 'em set & you're good to go.
