Ladybird

Poor girl was parked on the couch today- her first official sickday from school.
I wish she was playing hookie. I had a view of her tush & left ear all day.

Poor Girl

Girl's looking healthy and happy NOT.
At 4 years old she has begun to lie about how she feels "Mommy- I'm all better!"
Oh yeah- 102 degress begs to differ little girl...

Boykid

Poor boy was trapped in the house with a sick sister- and a psycho mother- so nanny came on a rescue mission and swept him away.

and a little bit more....

Auntie Denise came over - and girl was too pleased!!!!!

While Boy stayed outside with the guys - and played football & wiffleball all night -

Girlie stayed inside with the girlies..

either way, they were both up VERY late - but it was a Saturday night -so I thought I'd let them party as long as they could stand...

Hahhaa - not remembering that we had a birthday party at 10am the next morning

and everything went fine until the ride home

and whoa nelly - it was a rough ride to say the least

Gymclastics started this past week -and girl was VERY HAPPY

poses around every corner!

yet ANOTHER fair

boy was out like a light when we got there -and I thought it was being VERY flexible for sitting on chrome swings on an horrifically hot day
both kids - champs!

so we thought we'd let the kids cool off & wake up in the animal tents..

the only thing that went down in those tents...

we learned that boy has a natural gift for stepping in cow pies

one more attempt at the rides...

and this is what we were dealing with...

kids have master the art of fashioning utensil weapons

girl's favorite past time
Kicking Daddy

Boy taking his turn with the cookie batter

Girl's turn

Find Freddie

Super Duper Catch-up

I'm a little behind on my life right now (what else is new!)

so I thought I'd do a little game of 'Photo Bombardment!'

Boy is mastering the art of taking a nice sweet picture

and making it absolutely hysterical!

He's also mastering the art of socks & sandals

Two kids rocking the carny rides -

Girl is a total pro with the horns -

Boy is still spinning webs

Up to the pond to go fishing

Boy has a natural talent with the fishing pole..

to the point where it is almost not fun - as soon as the pole is in his hands - he's pulling another fish in.

The final fish of the day - was the biggest sunny we've ever ever ever.

Dan was more pleased than the kids- but in their defense.. it was pouring rain

happy daddy

this is the reality of 90% of the fist in this pond..

fishertoddler

fishermommy

fishergirl (strike one)

much better

....and because he's such a bass master....

Flash back to the beach....

Boy is READY for the beach

on top of Lucy

and we got home from the beach just in time to torture the cat...

this just shows how much he really misses us when we're away... so much that he'll tolerate just about anything we can dish out - just for the attention.

the slightest weather change - and Ive got kids mooching my blankets

boy must be growing a LOT -everytime you turn around

he's snoozing

Girl rediscovered one of her first pairs of sunglasses -and insisted on wearing them everywhere...

big boy jump off the diving board

Kids at Wendy's rocking a frosty
what wonderful sharers they are
