Hmmm testing 123

Mayday Mayday

somewhere this week I saw someone had written "New Jersey is the only place you can experience 4 different seasons in one week"
sadly true
who has 2 thumbs and is done dealing with stupid weather?!
THIS GIRL

from thick sweaters - to sundresses & shorts
kids were picking lots & lots of flowers for me








rude awakening - the flowers weren't for me..
but we went upto the main house on a delivery mission, where the kiddies were happily rewarded with cookies
YAY COOKIES!


my darling princess was posing for a photo when.....


the discovery was made - - the boy has hit a new stage in the 2's
climbing

and jumping


I've seen boy make this face 100 times a day -
and it's never been so perfectly documented in actual side-by-side compairson
"So I got THAT going for me!"


what in the world kind of princess is this!?
double horn action - that's what kind!

double see-saw action at the swan park


does it get any better?
she wore pom-pom hair
he wore spiderman
and they sat soooooooooo nicely
right before boy broke away & jumped off the third stair & yelled
"Whoa! That was a big jump!"

....and the moment was over


Dan is trying to instill a few important life lessons ...
little things like: don't coat the sponge with stones before you wash the car
and/or keep the sponge AWAY from the stones!!




once they figure out it's work -
they leave the scene


funny faces are funny


the shirt of understatement


ferris wheel is still a big hit after all these years!


I scream
you scream
we all scream "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!"


my boys


and when everyone does finally roll out of bed... it's to snuggle on the couch

our band-aids are anxiously awaiting their arrival to knees & elbows...

the weather was abfab this weekend -
so the kids were OUTSIDE!
It seemed this weekend -the kids tried to test their limits...
BEGGING for injury
We brought out the water table.. and boy tried to drink as many bugs & pine needles as possible

he was soon invaded by a passing nudist
he then tested the limits of watertable..
it seemed the whole day I had to tell them "NO FEET!!" or "YOU CAN'T STAND IN THERE!"
but tummies were perfectly acceptable?

Boy quickly bolted when I took his soaking wet shirt off
by the time I walked around to the front of the house (its not a very big house)
this is what I discovered
and then climbing


look at his face -
he knows what he is doing is naughty.. but he loves it




while boy was being a terror
girl & I decided to play with the big ball
her chasing & running skills are fantastic
but when she finally gets to the ball...
not so good


girl retired to the house to find an outfit
and boy retired to the see-saw to try & break some bones
eaaassy...
baaalance...

nope
nope
steady...
YEAH!!!!!!!


having conquered the seesaw -he moved on to completely coating himself in mud
but first - he had to get to the mud
through the window of course!


and back out again
