Yesterday and Today

This is more the day before yesterday and yesterday...it's Hump Day people. I didn't get to post yesterday, only post pictures. Plus, I have to be "in the mood" to blog. Well, I think I'm finally in the mood. (Lucky you!) Monday I watched my friend Tracey's kids, Tyler and Taylor, and met my friend, Beth, and her kids, Nick and Alex, at Ducky Joe's. (I think that previous sentence had way too many commas....)

Anyways, it was craziness and the kids loved it. Imagine walking into a room (it was pretty large) of 50-60 kids all under the age of 6 probably and running around screaming and playing. Everyone loved Ducky Joe's and I'm sure we will return. It's one of the only places to take the kids INDOORS since we do reside in the hottest region known to man....

3 hours later we hop in the car and head home. My nerves are fried. I click the radio off and request everyone to be silent on the way home. I needed to regain......something. My nerves? My thought process mechanism? I don't know. But I'll do it again, and with a smile on my face. It was actually a good social environment for me too...I got to make small talk with other moms and ya know, talk about, what else, our children.

Charlie found this green car and fell in love with it. He fell off several times but was a trooper and hopped right back on.

Jackson, Tyler and Taylor playing in the um, play thingy. They had too much fun!

We are going to Destin in 6 days with my mom so she sent the boys a "beach care package" yesterday!

We ripped open the boxes and found some cool stuff....Jackson dropped the box and immediately sported his new beach flip flops.

I whipped out my camera manual yesterday and was playing with it...I don't think I even know the potential of the pictures I COULD be taking. I've been sticking to the "automatic focus, automatic everything" button and decided it was time to venture out a little and educate myself on this complicated contraption....

I guess you could say I did ok, But I think I need to buy that book "Photography for Dummies." My subjects were exceptionally cute though, don't you think?



Jackson lying in submission to his baby brother....Charlie is like, "I got him right where I want him."

Jackson was trying to kiss Charlie's belly, but Charlie wouldn't have it..."cut that girly stuff out man..."

Sportin' his new haircut today, and a lovely cowlick right up front!

Then came bathtime...and Charlie loves his baths. He now crawls up to the faucet and turns the water on all by himself. If I misplace him during the day, I can always head towards my bathroom and find him crawling towards the tub....

Someone's got some junk in their trunk...

Champers. He puts up with so much and still loves us anyways. Yes, he's tried running away more times that I can count, but we always find him and bring him home. (He's probably cussing us the whole way back home.) I'd probably be stressed out too if a 3 year old and 11 month old crawl all over me and pull my ears and poke my eyes. Yet he just lays there and takes it like a "Champ." We think the kids have aged him. Look at that white beard appearing under his snout. We love you Champers :)
