So I’ve decided that this summer I will do ONE special project or activity with the kids a week. I know, I know, one doesn’t sound like much, but for me this is progress. I am not a “crafty mom” and it just stresses me out to create disastrous messes that I’m going to have …

Ah Springtime…
My “young lads’” fancies haven’t yet turned to thoughts of love in the springtime, BUT they do turn to staying cool. 😉 I was kinda hoping that the habit of last summer wouldn’t have survived the winter, but alak, no. See, what happens when it’s time to go play outside they start by waving their …
One Drippy Day
One day even though it was wet and ickyish outside, the boys NEEDED to go out! 🙂 They chose for their amusement to pull out their camp chairs and watch the gutter drip! Ha! This totally cracked me up, and of course I had to take some photos. Funny funny boys!
Decorating Fun
The boys spent part of a day with their good friend “Miss Karen” who has bailed me out on several occasions when I needed someone to watch the kids. She’s SO great with children, and the boys go wild with excitement every time they get to go to her house! On this occasion, she had …
Fun in a box
This is the box that Ella’s car seat came in. Yes, they are in there. It’s just the perfect size for 2 rather rambunctious monkeys. They thrashed about in it in the house for a little while, and then Mommy had a stroke of brilliance and tossed it, and them out into the yard. 😉 …
Lads
I thought perhaps you might be going through some lad withdrawal since I haven’t posted pics of them really recently. No worries. I’m here to take care of the problem.
They hear EVERYTHING!
My oldest child is ALL ears, and he uses them! 🙂 Now that he’s so much more verbal he pays attention to things that people are saying around him even if they aren’t talking TO him. When I’m recounting some of his antics to my mom over the phone or even telling Stuart over dinner …
Imagination gone amuck
My little lads, especially Qade, have vivid imaginations. Myles has yet to completely develop his on his own, he’s only 2 after all, but he gets caught up in Qade’s imaginings quite a bit and adds to the fun in any way that he can. Recently one of their favoirite things to play is “building” …
Big Brothers
The day we had Ella I called home to tell our parents and the boys. When I talked to Qade on the phone I told him that his baby sister was here and her name. He asked if his baby sister was “bigger” because I’d been telling him all along that when she got big …
Brothers will be…
…boys!
