Sunday Afternoon

This year's Spring weather has been mild. And since our backyard now has grass growing - and a functional garden - we've been spending more time out there. 

This afternoon the kids and I just enjoyed the weather for a bit. 

Esther caught me looking at the ground. 

Next, progression of Jacob's mad face. 

Now for some sweet faces. My kids really are good kids and I am so lucky to have their vibrant and loving personalities in my home. 

My Brother Ate My Homework

Jacob frequently climbs onto a dining room chair while the other kids are doing their homework and asks for his homework. I hand him a pencil and paper and he draws/scribbles for awhile. Then he hands it to me with a cute grin and says "finished!"

Yesterday while I was helping Esther with her homework, Jacob ran to get a pencil from the drawer. He came back a few minutes later with an "uh-oh..." and held out the pencil to me.

"Homework," he said, sadly.

I looked at the pencil carefully and realized that half the eraser was missing!

"Where is the eraser, Jacob?"

"All gone. Mouth." He stuck his finger into his mouth.

"Seriously? You ate an eraser?"

"Uh-huh."

I'm not sure if he had eaten it just then or one of the previous days during homework. But one thing is for sure - he ate it all gone! What a kid...

Bubble Bath Fun!

What's more fun that a bathtub chock full of bubbles and two silly little brothers?

I'm growing out my beard. 

Look at those long eyelashes! 

Where did everybody go? 

Hey... 

Big blue eyes!
