One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
times three.
I took the kids to the park early yesterday morning, hoping to miss the heat. Not only did we miss the heat, but we also missed all the people, as we were the only ones there for a long time. It was actually really nice. Jake and Grace can be so cute together, making plans to build luxurious snail homes and exploring the dangerous and mysterious thicket of bushes near the swings.
Don't even get me started on this guy...
My camera was all barking and nipping my heels before we left, so I let her tag along.
I don't care if you are seven and a half, you are still stinking adorable.
Jake actually told me they should make an Olympic sport out of swing jumping. Why not? They have ping pong. Excuse me, I mean table tennis.
Mr. Serious.
That's better.
Just don't push him too high, or he gets worried. Also, don't say "Wheeee!" in too screechy and high pitched of a voice, or he will furrow his brow and think you need help.
Hmmm. Grace is practicing her sultry movie star eyes. Already.
Nathan doesn't like the sand too much.
Grace likes the sand though. She thinks she is Paula Deen, making butter cake, butter soup, butter stew, and whatever else Paula makes.
(Also, I am not kidding. The kids LOVE cooking shows especially Grace. When they see a cookbook at the store, they yell, "Look it's Paula! Look, it's Rachel Ray! And look! It's ... that lady!" And it is poor Ina Garten, but for the longest time I thought her name was Contessa, because it is the name of her show. Barefoot Contessa. Totally confusing. Anyway...)
Jake likes to find snails, and make homes for them.
"Nathan, sweet brother, look at this marvelous creation, a snail. So peaceful, taking life one slimy scoot at a time, a lesson to all of us, if you ask me ..."
By the way, my mom had to come pick me up early from Kindercare when I was five because I tricked a three year old into eating snails on the playground. It is genetic.
Somebody's having hernia surgery tomorrow. But I won't say who, they might get embarrassed.

Cute pics! I love being the only ones at a park, for a little while. Then I want other kids to entertain my kids because that was my sole purpose of getting them out of the house with just ME.
Snails are pretty good with ketchup.
I can never get my nutt out the door in time to just have it be us at the park.
Ina "Contessa" is just strange and she surrounds herself with very strange people, It almost seems like that one guy who she says is her husband really isn't. I think they're just pretendeing for the cameras.
Good Day! Can't wait to catch up this week.
i love the pics you take!! your kiddos are adorable!
Love all the photos. You are turning into a real pro. I can't belive how big Nathan is getting! So cute.

Beautiful kids!
