CUPCAKES!!!

Celebrating her 2nd on the 4th!

Do you think it will be alright

having her grow up thinking that

all the fireworks

are to celebrate her birthday?

4th of July Fun

It wasn't hot, but they were determined!

War

So we were playing War the other day. Solitaire, it turns out, is much safer.

Shirt Free Reading Session

So, I turn the corner, and they all have their shirts off! : ) The boys have just watched Clash of the Titans and were looking at the constellations that matched the characters. Little girl is trying to see how Little Grover defeated the Titans and made his own constellation!

No more high chair!

Well, we put it in the garage. It's just been easier to have her sit at her spot at the table. But, I wasn't expecting the reaction I got. She totally started crying, and saying "high chair!" So, I took her in the garage to see it, and asked if she wanted to sit in it. "Da." (Yes for today. Some days it's "ja.") She sat, and I said I need to go in to make pancakes, and we left the chair. Then, she was excited to turn the garage light off! If only, I could let go of things that easily that made me sad!

Reading has opened new worlds!

It was so sweet. I woke up this morning to find the boys reading together in the oh-so-comfy, big blue chair.

Then, of course, in Ephraim style, he had to sit on top of Gavin! Notice, how Gavin is not deterred in the least! It's a new world to explore, isn't it, Gavin?
