turning into a real kid, right before our eyes... 2 1/2 yrs old today!

Happy May Day















I like today because of...
prayerful friends, the smell of lilacs, little boys and tractors, our front porch

4*30*08

4*29*08

4*28*08

an artsy kind of day...





I like today because of...
living room picnics, little boy undies staying dry all day, the sun breaking through the rain, fingerpaints

4*27*08

I think it's kinda cute how these two are pretty much joined at the hip :)















I like today because of...
refreshing early morning walks, french braids, yummy yummy dump cake, full kitchens

4*26*08

the latest and greatest deal in our house















I like today because of...
garage sales, neighborhood buddies, grilled steaks, early bedtimes, games in the evening with my husband

love how intently she draws.
the spot in front of the door has become her favorite art space.
good light, I guess :)

4*10*08

a boy right at home in the mud...

4*9*08

I just wanted to capture this geekyness early on for later in life.
T-shirt, undies and big dorky slippers.
He walked around like that all morning and refused to get dressed. He likes this look.

4*8*08

His treasured hockey card collection;
I never knew a two year old would be so enamored with trading cards. He lines them up, carries them around all day, wants to sleep with them, and hasn't even hurt or lost a one, funny kid! He takes his hockey very seriously!!

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it, but this room was absolutely spotlessly cleaned and vacuumed not four hours before this:(and also I'm noticing how sickeningly pepto pink 95% of our playroom is...)

3*5*08

3*4*08

our best little helper

3*3*08

We found Sawyer a new tool set on clearance at Lowe's after Christmas... a complete set of (real) tools,
with dozens of accesories,
a tool belt, safety googles and rainbow suspenders to complete the look!
He loves 'em!






And it especially looks pretty spiffy with the long underwear pajama bottoms, doesn't it?!

swingin in the sun

Savannah picked out an Easter "bonnet" from the dollar spot at Target.
This is the hat that Sawyer picked...

2*25*08

Drama queen, hypochondriac, overreactor... we have lots of names for SJ's "sensitivity".

She found me going thru pics on the camera and rushed over to show me that she was bleeding *bleeding!!*. A snapped a pic of this infliction that had been bothering her enough to keep her from finishing her lunch...

here's the "owie" if you missed it...

2*23*08

Savannah's first sleepover guest

2*21*08

2*20*08

somebody decided to experiment with graham crackers and scissors
