Playing in the Fort

Remember when the Mountainview Resort was under construction in March? Well, now the weather is perfect, and the boys love playing out there. We even got some furniture and accessories to encourage them to drift that way on sunny afternoons. Here are some classic shots of "Captain Point Sword" and "Little Wing" out in the "Super State" (headquarters for the superheroes) OR "Captain Spy" and "Junior Captain Spy" in the spy hideout. Depends on the day. They crack me up. The pictures of the kitchen in the middle of the lawn are from when we sprayed it all off at the beginning of the season. They just couldn't wait to try it all out.







These dishes were mine when I was a little girl. Good thing we got a shot of this one before it got stepped on under the swing set and shattered into a million pieces. *sigh* Ah, well. At least I was the one that did it. And whaddaya expect when you're playing with boys with 30-year-old hard plastic dishes under a swing set? haha

Love my boy-boys.

Camden's Art Show

Redeemer Episcopal Day School (R.E.D.S.) is where Cam attends preschool 4 mornings a week.
Holy craziness, Batman!



"Hmmm ... not sure about the lines and use of color on this one ...."
Cutest art critic I've ever seen.

Mrs. Walker's & Mrs. Panella's Pre-K class (10 students). Their milk crate-cubbies sit under these signs each morning for their school bags & jackets.



If he looks less-than-ecstatic in the pictures, that's because he was. When we got in the truck afterward, he said (in his classic Camden manner), "That wasn't what I expected. Was that what you expected?" Apparently he thought that "art show" meant he would get to stand onstage in the spotlight and explain each individual piece of his art to the crowd. What a ham! He cracks me up. We had to explain that "even grown-up professional artists" have art shows in this manner -- where people walk around and look at their artwork, mingle, eat hors d'oeuvres ... okay maybe without crazy toddlers running around and parents chasing after them warning them not to rip things off the walls! *sigh*

Freddie the Frog

We had a visitor from Camden's preschool class this past weekend, Freddie the Frog. He even brought his bag along, complete with his coat, blanket, jammies, and a house gift (chocolates! smart frog!). We wrote entries in his journal each night and took pictures of all our adventures so that Camden could share with the class this week. We'll miss you, Freddie! Thanks for hanging out with us!

Buckle up!

Yee-haw!

Camden's preschool photo -- the last one! Can't believe it, but I just registered him for kindergarten in the Fall! Awesome! Okay people, so I know I'm biased and all, but isn't he just too cute for words? This picture cracks me up.

Happy Kitchen Helpers

Camden has been putting away the silverware for some time, but now Liam has started helping too. Only Liam likes to put the silverware away when it is clean and when it is dirty. *sigh* And ...


He has also assigned the silverware a new location. So, now when I load and unload the dishwasher, I get to go on a treasure hunt through the low cupboards too, and I also have to examine each piece to see whether it is clean or dirty. Ah, the adventures of motherhood! I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world! Haha!
