Its a Boys' Life

How we have fun on a weekday morning:

Step 1:

Get yourself wet. I mean really wet.

A garden hose is essential. 

A water table works great too.

Step 2:

While still dripping wet, insert yourself into the nearest dirt pile.

Maybe bury yourself a bit.

Help yourself to a bite or two.

Mommy is always telling me how much she loves diapers embedded with gritty sand.

Just remember to keep the hose handy; that dirt can really dry out your mouth.

Step 3:

Smile innocently.

Bonus Options:

20 bonus points to each boy accomplishing this messy feat before 10:00 a.m. PST.

50 bonus points if said feat is accomplished within 24 hours of your last bath.

Can you see why I need this sign?

Kendry's shoes after this particular morning adventure:

Its a good thing I'm not a clean freak, right?

Ten on Tuesday

Yeah, baby!

"Houston, we have a walker!"

Meanwhile, Cohen has decided that walking is for amateurs and has opted to focus on his climbing skills instead.

I know what Kendry is getting for Christmas.

Kendry and I had a date night for Movies on the Wall.

When you can't get a 5 year old to smile for the camera, join in the goofiness.

Kendry finished another swim lesson course this week. We love seeing his confidence in the water continue to grow.

Parental quote of the week:

"I'm not sure pogo-sticking naked is such a good idea."

I don't give up on books very often - to do so gives me the OCD shakes - but I just couldn't bring myself to turn another page in this one.

Sorry, Sarah.

This Week's Blessing:

An aquatic adventure on our friends' boat.

Being on and in the water is great therapy for these hot summer days, and Kendry put some of his new swim skills to the test.

Cohen was a little overwhelmed by the life jacket experience.

Thank you, Michelle and Forrest!
