Baby Lips

Compromise

Eric wanted to listen to Bambi, Evan wanted to listen to Puff the Magic Dragon. They compromised on Dumbo, yet Evan looks like he wants to poke his eyes out...

Cakeface

Look Ma, no legs!

I don't know how he did this. Or why.

Who Says Boys Can't Accessorize?

Smells Like Rain

Bed Hog

No. Don't Do It.

I don't know what Eric was doing, but if Evan felt the need to write him a reminder not to do it, then I probably don't want to know!

Emmett, Contained.

Don't judge. It was the only way to keep him out of his brothers' room with all the choke-able sized toys. And it worked for a while...until he figured out he could rock the basket until it tipped over. Luckily I was there taking pictures :-)

Train 'em young!

Gotta love a kid who holds my drink so I can take a picture!

It's a Bubble-ful Day

Mr. Sports

The gun looking thing on the right is a Zing Toys Zvclone, which I highly recommend as a last-minute Father's Day gift!! Eric is wearing the ring part on his head, in a strange game of 'fetch.' I don't know, I just live here :-)

Cake? We don't need no stinkin' cake!

S'mores are more our style--happy birthday hubby!

A Thankless Job

Eric's teachers seriously must think I am the most absent-minded parent there is, as they have been giving me reminders for various things I need to bring in. Last night, I (very lovingly) packed his sleeping bag (it's camping week), signed permission slips for summer field trips, a picture for a project they are doing, and a change of clothes to replace ones he had messed up. This is what I found on the floor when I came home:

Sigh.

Day in the Park

More like 30 minutes in the park, because it was ridiculously hot and humid, but still a good time!

Eric, looking like he is up to no good

(he's really good at that look!)

First ride in the playground swing!

Strawberry Picking

I realize my posts are becoming fewer and far(ther?) between, so I'll make up for it with multiple pictures :-) No seriously, I need to get over the chaos that has been my family's life for the past month and get back on track with this. In the meantime...

The angry strawberry picker

Between the crooked hat and the gap-toothed smile,
he makes this picture a keeper!

----------------------------------------------------

I think Eric is trying to be a strawberry?

----------------------------------------------------

Both kids smiling with the fruits (ha ha!) of their labor.
And yes, I realize you have to look at two pictures to see both kids smiling.
Sometimes that's how life works.

Oldest & Youngest

I tend to think that Emmett looks a lot like Evan...not so much in this picture!

Cousins

Undecided

I could have posted 10 different pics from our little photo session this afternoon...his eyes are just too pretty not to photograph!

Ladybug

I had nothing to do with this one...he made the hat at daycare, and put it on and asked me to take his picture. Eric has been in rare form lately, but I hope it becomes a more permanent thing!
