Dead Spider

Tough girl came to show me that she killed a spider with her bare hands.
Is there any other way to do it?

Hand Me Downs

I love to see stuff that was used by my first two, reused by my second two.
The blue and pink double stroller is the perfect example of this.
And how lucky am I that I had babies in the blue - pink, blue - pink order.

Dear Micah…

I didn’t think this was unreasonable.

Caterpillar Mania

Nothing gets me more excited than when my kids are outside exploring.
And this day produced some great loot.
About 30 caterpillars.
Awesome!

I took a few shots of Dash while eating Nonnie’s treat for him.
This kid is SO classic!
He always has a cute new face for me in his photos.

Frick and Frack

After the big kids leave to school, Frick and Frack spend some good quality time together.
This day it was race cars.
It starts out with Frick playing, and then the Frack comes to destroy whatever he is doing.
She steals the puzzle pieces, or gets in the way of his race car’s path, or knocks down his blocks.
But the cutest thing of all, is that Frick is almost always patient with Frack.

We have to multitask each morning before school.
Here Navy is nursing an injury, while eating breakfast.

Because Daddy means business when it comes to leaving on time!

Dash’s Fat Lip

Dash is quickly following in Scout’s footsteps.
I think Scout had two black eyes, and several fat lips by the age of three.
Dash is about three months away, but can check one fat lip off the list.

Poor little guy.

Injured

Dash took quite the face plant on the climbing bars at the playground.
Too bad I was there watching Navy’s first soccer practice ever, and had to skip a bunch while I attended to the boy who needed a “mouth Band Aid”!

Freckles Galore

I love the end of summer, when all of Scout’s freckles come out.
They compliment his army-green eyes so nicely.
