My Sunshine

Uncle J & his homework

Uncle J had to take some photos for a homework project. Of course he picked my darling offspring to model for him.

The deal was he had to do a portrait shot, but only 3/4 of the face could be shown. Good job dude. You can use my kids anytime.

Bicyle - The Sequel

Yeah. Remember this post? It lasted for like 3 days and then C crashed and therefore lost her confidence. The training wheels were put back on and they've stayed on until yesterday. C had a sleep-over with her best buddy friday night and rode her buddy's bike (sans training wheels by herself). The bike is a bit smaller than her own, and I think it was just what she needed. We took her training wheels off and BAM! off she went. She made sure to yell and both J and I explaining that she DIDN'T NEED ANY HELP! DON'T TOUCH ME! DON'T HOLD THE BIKE STILL! DON'T EVEN STAND BY ME! And apparently, she was right:

That's so like her - to refuse our help and then figure it out on her own. She's going to be the death of me.

One Little Monkey

C taught F how to climb the tree out front. I cannot keep this kid out of it.

And, if you were wondering, this is how F falls asleep every night. He takes his kiki and pulls it up and over his head, tucking it in tight. When we go in to check on the kids before we go to bed, we pull the kiki off of him and its always covered in slobber. Yum.

Old McDonald had a Farm

We visited a local farm last month and had a blast. As soon as we got out of the car, a bunch of chickens/roosters attacked. I could not stop laughing. C was petrified and F just wanted to make sure they didn't steal his "gucker" (sucker). A few of the roosters thought J's big toe was a nice piece of pink bread. They kept trying to peck him. It was awesome.

My dudes:
There were so many geese. I brought a loaf of bread to feed them and once they realized we were there with food, they started making the biggest racket! C and F didn't know what to make of it. They ran for the stroller and both jumped in.

Certified Public Accountant

Congrats J! You rock!

I'm not totally sure why F looks so disgusted.

Our Current Argument

J thinks that you are supposed to pronounce the "L" in yolk - as in egg yolk. He ordered breakfast the other day and asked if the yoo-LKS were cooked in an egg over-medium.

I believe the "L" is silent - which correctly follows the "silent L rules."

So, go on and cast your vote. I have created a poll on the right side of this blog.
