life lately...

Enjoying the last few days of summer...

and apparently it is clothing optional.

(fyi, boys seem to have a genetic need to expose their nekkid hineys 

every once and a while...at least at my house).

Making an important play shopping stop to the Seattle Ikea

and happily discovering that on Tuesdays, kids eat free!

(couldn't have planned that better myself...except if i had actually planned it myself).

...oh and some general weirdness.

My little cherub is sprouting his first tooth...

and just generally being cute all around.

 We made our monthly trip to Daddy's work to have "lunch"

and run around like crazies...

and play Xbox games at the visitor's center...

and eat the most unhealthy delicious lunch you'll ever find at a place of employment...

 And here is what you may find in a household full of boy children,

plus what you may find on a walk in our neighborhood...yummers!

 And here are the last few of us at the lake...

 pretending to be Coraline with a dowsing rod.

 And this little guy again...

because you can never have enough cute baby pictures in your life.

for serious.

 ...and mini elbow patches.
