Matthew loves standing himself up now. Which is rather a nuisance when it's time for him to go down for his nap. (Note to self: make sure I put duct tape on the shopping list.) Usually when I check on him his grin is even wider than this one (he's confused by the camera's presence). So yeah, do I pick up the cute grinning kid or tell him off and lay him down again? That is a tough call! One of life's more complicated decisions. ;)
He's thinking, if you're gonna let me out, then get on with it! Melanie, on the other hand, thinks it's so much fun that she should join right in.
Matthew being a blockhead. As usual.
This is a fence with animals penned in. All sorts of animals. Having clutzy Melanie bump them, even ever so slightly, was not a positive experience for poor Nathan.
Melanie being her cute difficult self.
Me being relaxed and no longer being a really angry frustrated and goal driven mother. Because the battle is over. And I lost...at least it's over.
My brilliant idea of a new activity to keep the kids out of my hair while I'm prepping dinner. Not recommended. It lasted only 5 minutes peacefully, and required 2 minutes to set up. Very low pay off, for very little benefit.
Enjoying it...if only ever so briefly.
Nathan is concentrating hard, but also trying very hard to avoid the annoying photographer. (No, I couldn't possibly be referring to my lovely self.)
Getting-bored-already look.
Give me five!
(I could use a little more than five myself. :p )
All bundled up and ready for the park.
The long lost park has been found...its a bit like Atlantis these days...
I think a crazy carpet could help here.
Yup, kids are weird. She's trying to squish a snowball with her belly...and thinks it's the funniest thing she ever did do.
Just in case the snow melted in our yard, we thought we'd bring a little more to ours. It's not stealing is it?
