At Least He Has Good Aim????

What was an innocent game of brotherly basketball turned ugly.  Too bad I didn't have the camera aimed on the Little Guy.  I have a feeling it would've made for a funnier video. 

And, yes, it nailed Everett right in the head.  He didn't cry at all and Anderson went straight to Time Out, especially after I watched the footage and saw that malicious look in his eye! ;)

Just a cute pic to cool you off!

Two Funnies

This morning we were loading up to drive to summer camp (school) and as usual Anderson was trying to convince me to allow him a few minutes to drive around in his lightning McQueen Power Wheels car.  I explained to him that we were out of time and that we needed to leave now.  He said, in all seriousness, "You drive Everett to school in your car and I'll follow you in my car."   I laughed out loud and still laugh when I picture his thought process in this request.  To him, this made perfect sense. 

This is what happens 99% of the time we try to get the boys loaded into the car to go somewhere- they both beeline to their Lightning McQueen cars and beg to go for a ride.  :)

We just walked into the living room and saw this one one day.  Too bad they were in the wrong chairs!

Backyard Water Fun

While we can't make it a habit of being outdoors too often, (just too hot and too darn hard to coordinate sunscreen, hydration, naps, shade, moods, etc.) when I can get the boys out in the water they have a blast.  It's amazing what fun can be had with a simple water hose.  :)

This chair ended up being loads of fun.  Who knew?

My Cutie

He loves to pour the water on himself!

If you've ever been at our house during the evening hours in the summer, you'll appreciate this! 

 A little froggy by the pond! 

My Buddy

The Sprinkler IN the pool makes SO much more sense!

And SO much more giggles!

And...I'm....... Sleeeeeeepping.

I've always wondered when it would finally happen.  Anderson has always been a regimented sleeper: in his bed, his white noise machine on, darkened room, etc.  I've wondered about those kids that you hear about who just fall asleep while playing.  Well, he finally did it.  We're entering into the nap-dropping zone.  Some days he naps, some days he doesn't.  So, some days I tell him to just play up in his room for some quiet time.  Well, the other day I realized after awhile that there was no longer the sound of his playing coming through the monitor.  So, I ventured up there, camera in hand.  Sure enough he had fallen asleep.  Not only had he fallen asleep while playing, he actually fell asleep ON his beloved Lightning McQueen car toy. 

Mommy and E Time

When Anderson and Daddy went camping, Everett and Mommy had a quiet and relaxing weekend.  One thing that Everett loves: someone's undivided attention.  He's turning into such a little ham and he loves getting a reaction from people.  Here are a few pictures I snapped as I just followed Everett around for an hour or so.

Love his whispy hair

So curious
