When Scout found an old teeny tiny diaper…he went into full Zoolander mode.
A few of his perfected poses were:
Party on the Beach
Flying Chicken
Iron Buns
Featured above…you see “Party on a Beach”!
Honestly….this kid had us laughing so hard. Partly because he was so funny. Partly because he was so shameless!
Pippi wanted me to take pictures of her jumping — you know, action shots!
I told her she has a “flamingo jump” — she jumps gracefully, with one leg bent up.
Then then twips wanted in.
I told them they all had to jump in different directions so they didn’t land on each other.
But in the end, Pippi wasn’t liking how “squishy” they made her feel.
I love seeing my kids play with educational toys. Scout got this rad circuit board from Uncle Dave, and it is great — teaches a ton of science stuff. So whenever Scout is away, Dash breaks it out, and gets working. He especially loves the experiment where he can send this spinning top flying in the air.
And as soon as he heard Scout comet through the front door, he quickly put it away, and ran off!
Part of me is bugged with Scout’s stuff that can’t be touched. Part of me thinks Scout is smart to not let the “master of disaster” touch his things.
But in this case…”what Scout can not see won’t hurt him”…is my mantra.
After three hours in the pool, it was high time the kids came out for a snack.
Clearly Pippi was excited about what Dash was telling her — maybe it was that they were going to spend another 2 hours in the pool…which they did!
Have I ever said that a pool is the greatest thing you can do for your kids?
Pippi didn’t see me as I was secretly videoing her make up session. She spent about 15 minutes putting her makeup on meticulously, and talked herself through it the whole time. It was pretty stinking cute. And after she did her makeup and got prepared for the day, she was over at her playhouse taking care of her 45 “babies” all morning.
This girl is a total grown up in a child’s body.
To say she will be a good grown up is a given.
Dash sits in the shadow of Scout on the Rubiks Cube. But when Britni was over for the afternoon, I called Dash out of the hot tub to let him show off his skills. Britni was in shock! Actually…his late improvement had me in shock too. He moved those piece so fast, and none of his moves made sense in my mind…but about a minute after starting, Dash had his side complete. It was highly impressive!
So yes…Dash is currently in the shadow.
But Scout… you better watch out… the sun is moving, and Dash is going to be exposed!
Leave it to Navy to create fun for the Twips. She created a whole afternoon of fun, including this kidnic with a “real” tea party and snacks. No wonder the second Navy is on the scene, the twips don’t leave her side!
I feel like every summer there is “the talk”.
The talk that consists of how we act, what summer really looks like (it isn’t responsibility free), what manners are, what R-E-S-P-E-C-T is, and so forth.
The talk usually helps for a week or so…and then we have the mini talk.
I think it is obvious, that based on the picture above…we might have been a week or so late for this talk.
In honor of Father’s Day, my kids were asked to sing a song. The amount of warning was only a few days…so it was a bit stressful, but they did a fine job. Micah was surprised that he had never even heard the song. Little did he know that they were practicing on the sly with Nonnie…for a whole two days!
She can act like she doesn’t want Dash’s kisses all she wants, but with him having the world’s best kissing lips…I highly doubt she is doing anything but playing coy.
