Let's Go Fly a Kite

All of my boys needed hair cuts and I had neither the time nor the energy to fight with the younger two on sitting still. So I bribed them. Awesome parenting, huh? If they sat still during the WHOLE haircut they were promised a toy from the dollar store. Seriously, that was the best $2 I've ever spent in my life. They were amazing, haircuts were done in no time (and with no tears) and we flew T's special kite all afternoon! Daddy...

Evie's Smile

Talmage taught Evie that it's funny to run away from me when I get out the camera. Everett thought he was the funniest person on earth. He'd run and laugh and trip, all the while saying, "siwy, siwy" (silly, silly for you non-baby talkers). He is so darn cute!&nb...

Puddle Jumpers

We don't get much precipitation in these parts, so it is a par-tay after a rainstorm. Boots and puddles made for hours of entertainment and bucketfulls of laughter. And of course, T is in shorts...

Playing Dress-Up

We have a big bin full of dress-up clothes and love to let our imaginations go wild. The boys LOVE hats...love, love, love hats and so we dress up more often than you'd think. I'm trying to enjoy it now because I fear in just a few (ok, 10) years that my two teenage boys won't want to play dress-up with their momma!  Funny business from the clowns.Construction Elmo. He loves to wear that hard hat and especially loves for the light...

Playing Airport

James has been traveling a lot lately for work/school, so we've been playing A LOT of airport around our house. And with the airport and planes we got from Auntie Care at Christmas, we've been all set! During our most recent trip to drop James off, Talmage was enamored by the trains that circled SFO, so he decided to recreate what he saw. I must admit, I was impressed by his creativity--and how fun does that look? We also set...

Buzz and Woody and Jamba

Another day, another photo op with boys dressed alike (thanks to T-Man's love of matching). Do $1 Jamba Juice's taste better than regular-priced Jamba's to anyone else? Because they definitely do to me. I love Jamba deals, and so do Buzz and Woody. Really, really, really love these bo...

The Mother of all V-Day Posts

ALL Valentinesyish things from Valentine's Day week: Thank you for falling asleep on the couch for the first time ever Evie Knight so that I could thoroughly examine your sleeping cuteness!Lucie Stern V-Day/Chinese New Year party. Kind of an odd collaboration, and frankly, kind of an odd party, but T was pleased with his face paint and Everett liked his food truck noodles, so I guess it was a success. My little Picasso's hard...
