what happens when you eat lentils?

Here is Jim prompting Logan with some potty humor: "What happens when you eat lentils?" which of course quickly devolves into a discussion my bathroom routines -- clearly I've got my work cut out for me with these two boys!





Here is a picture of a huge car ramp that the two of them built!

Morning play date with the C & J

Here are some great pics from this morning's playdate with C & J...activities included practicing animal yoga (L even "helped" B with her down dog pose), tucking a komodo dragon into bed, practicing "cutting" up wooden fruits and veggies, playing with trucks and buses, reading, playing with little "babies," stacking blocks, playing with trains, and of course snacking.

New table!

We lucked out at our local kid's consignment store and picked up a beautiful maple kid's table and chairs. So we moved the dog bed out of the kitchen into the hall and set up L's new little snack table. He immediately made it his own and started pouring water from one glass to another. I even showed him how to peel a carrot, but he was mostly interested in taking the peels and putting them in his glass of water. But since Jim is in NY at Bard, we decided to have dinner at the table. I had him mix up the cucumber salad at the table (sliced cukes, a little soy, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds) and then he served the salad to himself on the little plate. Unbelievably earnest and cute.

Also, lest anyone forget about our dog, here is our neighbor feeding the dogs cheeseburger treats in honor of Kodi's 8th birthday. Sadie woofed it down in one bite! Only surprising in that I was able to capture it on film!


squinchy smile

L now understands that we "pose" for the camera and has developed this totally adorable squinchy smile face...here are a few versions of that smile:







I also without thinking asked him to say "Cheese" for the camera; here he is reproducing the sign for cheese. I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't take the picture.


The young artist...

Here are a few paintings that L did at school. I thought it would be nice to upload a few for everyone to see.
