clean kids

Anna got messy at Nanny's

Luke had a nice mohawk after a long - long bath
because the poor kid got THIS done to him at school!
It looked great - but everytime I looked at him - I couldn't help but laugh - and he had a look on his face like
"What? what's the problem?"
very cute
And the girlie was please as punch with her lady bug/sun/flower combo

The Fever, The Feeder, The Full-Moon, and The Share

Friday after school.. Anna had a little fever

even her pigtails were droopy

poor little bird

but amazing - a little tylonol

and she's kicking Daddy out of the driver's seat...

she even knows to hold Luke's hand out of the way so he won't grab the spoon

Then she went crazy for Meatball Friday

I don't remember when this was - or what the occasion was -

but two sleeping kids is always photo-worthy

Saturday was Auntie Renaye's Bridal Shower

Anna - being the flowergirl - was kept busy with a plate of Pirate Booty & a spoon

until she melted down & Daddy came & took her home

Landmark Occasion

Luke's first closed-mouth nap

Well -

Sunday morning - I could have told you it was a full moon

the girl woke up one the wrong side of the bed BIG TIME

but if you flip her upside down once or twice -

she recoops very nicely

and there is nothing a mommy likes to see more -

than her little girl sharing cheerios in the backseat with her brother

the baby-the burger-the field- and - the wagon

I'm so behind - so limited comments

Welcome little billows! YEAH

Dan cleared the fields!!!

yeah! More room to run!

double yeah!

there were so many more of them - but these are the really pretty pictures -

and everything smells really good now went for a wagon ride - and Anna held on to Luke like it was a log flume

she's been an excellent sister lately!

minimal abuse!

Happy kids crusing the trike in the garage...

it's the only place that's smooth & paved !!!

Anna waved like a queen the ENTIRE time she hitched a ride with Daddy

and while we were outside -

a gigantic box of diapers & food got delivered

an there is no better toy than a box! height compairson

happy kids ...such a nice pic of everyone brushing their teeth...

and when she thinks I'm not looking -

she hits the boy

Girl got some fairy wings

Boy got some big feet here's another good height compairson...

I love these toys that MAKE Luke stand up -

but I think my favorite part....

when he's not standing - the electrical outlet is baby-eyeball-height

super cute baby butt

and then after the library -

Anna - usually a strict chicken-nuggeter

got her first cheeseburger

and housed it

two cute videos...

first one is old...

Girl torturing boy - look how quickly she goes from play - to biting toes

no good

second is Dan running with Anna in the wagon

Weekend on the cob

The weekend started off with reading a few bedtime stories

.......to the cat

Then Dan & I went to a wedding -

and the kids spent their first night away from home

at NANNY & POPPY's house

it went FAR too smoothly... (too smooth to not do it again!)

and I was welcomed home with the biggest grin you could imagine!

then we stopped off at the A&P

and Luke showed me he knows how to take his shoes off in the car

but he is ALWAYS happy to go to the store
(notice two big chompers up top! - #8 came in this weekend too!) Anna was sure to clairfy for me that she didn't want beef on the cob
she wanted CORN on the cob
??
and with all those teeth
Luke got some too

then he took over complete ownership of the corn

and then they passed out on the way home

NICE

Skills, Kite Skills and the Vacation

Anna's new skills

Luke's new skills
Anna has learned to zone out

Dan's been searching high & wide for a kite

He found one - but there was no wind

Anna was just super pleased we let her run around in the back yard

and Dan brush-hogged it especially for the occasion. one more

We went on vacation to Auntie Fran's house -

and Anna had an especially healthy breakfast -

Pirate's Booty -

and she ate it with a lobster knife

reeeallll good parenting

toes in the sand - vacation has officially begun!

vacation begins - and Luke passes out

and the girl follows
