Fun With Sidewalk Chalk

Not too long ago Dominic bought the kids some of that new 3D sidewalk chalk. It is pretty cool. Anyway, this evening after Brooke and Nathan were in bed, I looked out the window and saw Dominic and Lenny playing with the chalk. I don't know who was having more fun. Dominic did do a great job so I had to take a picture of it.



Here is a picture of the kids having a snack outside yesterday. Brooke was making a funny face because I was telling them to smile.


Daisy is always close by. She's their big protector. Or wait, maybe she's just waiting for food to drop or to be handed to her by them. That's exactly what it is.



From the Mouth of a Two Year Old

A few months ago I took the kids to a friend's house for a playdate. Lenny was playing downstairs with his friends and the younger kids were upstairs with the moms. The name of one of the boys who lives there is Michael. He is almost a year younger than Brooke and Nathan. For some reason he kept pulling Brooke's hair while we were there. She usually doesn't cry very often when we are at someone else's house. But every so often she would start crying. Then we realized that Michael was pulling her hair. He pulled out a lot a few times. Poor Brookie. She's usually the one that does that to her brothers. After we left, she kept mentioning that Michael pulled her hair. The next day we were getting ready to go out and I needed to go to Michaels (the craft store). When I told the kids where we were going, Brooke started to pretend cry and said, "Mommy, oww!" and she was pulling her hair. She thought we were going back to Michael's house and he was going to pull her hair. Still to this day, if I say that we are going to Michaels, that is what she says.
