Doodle!

Mason's latest theater role: Doodle in "Bugsy Malone". She reaches her untimely end when her boss splurges her after she dropped her splurge gun. The picture with her back to the camera is when she is silly stringed by her boss! Lots of fun, great songs, and what a mess! At the end is a huge pie and silly string fight! More pictures soon. It is just so hard for us non-professional photographers to get good shots without a flash and when there is lots of action!

Swim Lessons!

Dylan is actually starting to swim on his own a tiny bit (although he has no fear and thinks he can swim a long way). He has made a lot of progress and might be swimming on his own sometime this summer!

Two Best Friends!

But don't let the smiles fool you! These two squabbled like brothers the entire day. Each one took turns pushing the other's buttons, touched the other in the car or looked at him wrong, had a long classic fight of "yes it is, no it's not, yes it is, no it's not, yes it is, no it's not", and eventually, when they had exhausted their reserves of good bickering topics, they fought about the proper way to hold a chee-toh. Good thing the two mommies had a sense of humor this day! (I really did have fun, Liz!)

Up To No Good!!!

Look at this nice girl doing her homework. Doesn't she look peaceful?




What about the guy you see below??? Is this the face of an innocent guy? No! This guy was playing near the pond while his sister worked on this homework. Out of the blue, he decided she was a perfect victim. He collected a little cylinder of pond water, walked it over to Mason and poured it down the back of her pants. I saw it all coming but had no time to react, which actually made it even funnier. Mason's reaction was classic and Dylan's guilty, yet pleased expression was even more so. I tried really hard to discipline Dylan but how do you do that when your funny bone is so tickled that you are in hysterics??? Even Mason could hardly keep a straight face. Can I say that the rest of the day was about the same? Naughtiness abounded. All I can say is this sweet little love of a guy is "ALL BOY"!

Sleeping Guy

This guy quit napping when he was about 2 1/2 years old and has never looked back until recently. Lately, he sleeps every day. I look at it as a sign of intelligence. It takes a smart kid to realize the power of a good afternoon nap... The other option is that he is growing, which wouldn't surprise me either.

Hmmm...Are They Up To No Good???

Two Dylans at Play!

Sweet Little Cakie!

Spring!

Dylan and Zoe!

The kids so enjoyed playing with Zoe today! Dylan especially enjoyed her company, whether they were drawing, being doggies together, or just plain wrestling.

One of the Hazards of Having Two Older Sisters!

Dylan absolutely loves the dress-up container! And if you can't choose what to wear, how about all of it at once? Good thing he kept on his socks, which say "good boy". Actually, this time, he had help from his sisters and two cousins. He particularly likes to wear a purple dress, a purple witch hat, a green witch finger and a broom. He takes the broom to the top of the stairs and pretends that he is Elphaba from "Wicked" and belts out "Defying Gravity", every word of which he knows by heart. He also has a fondness for purple lip gloss and has been caught covered in it, head to toe. How I love this little character!

Larkie!

Easter Party at Susie's House!

Happy Easter!
