Splish Splash!

Jack got to come over to play while his mommy attended a meeting the other day and as usual the kids had a blast together. But, while it is a daily occurrence for my kids to have dirty feet, sand in their hair and need to be dusted off before coming inside, this is not the norm for Jack.
So, after being outside for most of the morning making sidewalk chalk drawings and playing in the sandbox where Alli had to be instructed not to throw sand at Jack numerous times, I knew Miss Lissa would be all for giving the kids a bath before Jack had to leave.
No objections from the kids- just move the fun indoors and add water...

What a perfect opportunity to make silly hair and bust out the camera!

Is that not the cutest pic ever?

Not sure what this was about, but thought it was a funny pic.

The "afterbath"...

Nice, clean adorable kids wrapped in their cozy hooded animal towels. I think they were saying "ribbit!"

Don't forget me! He jumped right in there as if to remind me to take his pic too, but then he refused to smile. I don't get this kid sometimes!

Little Ballerina and Her Bro

Some pics of my beautiful ballerina missing only her ballet shoes (they stay in the car so mommy will not forget them).

She was watching the last few minutes of her show before we had to go so there was no getting her to look at the camera.

"Show me releve" (I don't know how to put little accent marks above the letters nor do I know if that is the correct spelling) ...

Well, that would be plie, but hey, they kind of go together and I was just impressed she regognized the word!
Apparently TJ was paying better attention to me than Alli was...
Daddy is going to be less than thrilled that I posted this picture, but I just couldn't help it.

????????

Just some fun pics of the kids being..... well, kids!

Butterfly-cathcing nets also make great hats and/or hair nets.
Notice the dog is the only one sitting properly on the couch...
Alli woke up from her nap one day to find TJ playing in the dog food bin. She said with a laugh, "TJ, you're so funny. You're a very silly boy!" Then, she quickly joined in on the fun...
While that may look like a choke hold, it's actually an over-zealous hug.
There, that's better.
Whoa- where'd she go?
The rubbermaid storage bin- proving to be a tough rival for the cardboard box!

Stylin' eyewear....
This one needs some explanation...
TJ loves to press his ear up against the dishwasher when it is running. Not sure if it is the sound, the vibration, the warmth or what, but this was not just a one time event.
TJ was more than happy to "help" me clean out the fridge the other day which basically consisted of moving the contents from shelf to shelf and unloading everything that I had just put back in. Anyway, when he found the potato drawer, he excitedly exclaimed "rocks!" Then he carried some away and when I looked into the living room, this is what I saw...
Now that's a boy for you! He is making his daddy very proud.
