My sweet little brava

Just a few quick pics of Luke's activities. Applying sunscreen Halle had left out, drawing all over his face and head with a dry-erase marker, playing in the cat's food and water dishes and enjoying some dinner (with Mia's old bib on). He has definitely introduced me to the world of boys. He's making up for all those easy years with the girls.

it's a smurfy smurfy breakfast treat

While we were getting ready to go to the beach, Ava skunked off. I found her under her blanket with the pooltable chalk. She was licking it like a salt lick. Naturally, she didn't like getting caught or having her pix taken.

He strikes again...

First, Luke broke the plastic face off our bathroom scale by picking it up and dropping it on the tile. Then a few days later I got out of the shower to find he had unrolled toilet paper and was cramming it into the hole in the scale. I guess he was a little embarassed to be caught and had to hide his face in shame.

The great outdoors

One of Luke's favorite outdoor activities lately is unpotting my potted plants. It brings him great joy to pull them out and wave them in the air.

Hooray!

This past Sunday I needed to leave Sacrament during the closing song to help the primary president with something. I took Evie with me so she wouldn't cry if I left her behind. As Evie and I are approaching the doors to leave Sacrament meeting, Evie puts her hands up in the air and shouts, "Hooray!" Me and the people by the door had a good laugh.

Deep thoughts by Halle

"What if suckers were really tiny and only made for cats? That would be weird." Yes, Halle, that would be weird-almost as weird as you! I'm going to blame the cuckoo gene on Ryan to make myself feel better but I know I am just as guilty. Ryan says all her weird craziness stems from that time I dropped her on the sidewalk as a baby (I still feel bad about that).

Schemers

I have to admit I'm a little worried that the older girls are planning some horrible scheme to make it on the brava awards. I think they feel a little jilted that they haven't made a post. Halle keeps saying things like "Wow! Think if we did this_____. That would really be a brava". I'm hoping Addy's newly baptized state and the accountability thing will keep them from actually going through with any of their what-ifs. We'll see...
