301/365 Hard at Play

300/365 After the hair cut

I brought my camera and wanted to take a few photos during his first hair cut, but I ended up sitting him on my lap so that didn't happen.

298/365 Fireman

297/365 Shaggy hair

I finally broke down and made an appointment for Baby A's first hair cut later this week.  It's time; it's always in his eyes, but I am saying goodbye to his curls.

296/365 Temper

When he's done, he's done!

295/365 Hot

294/365 Swimming

293/365 Pepper

Nope, that's not an apple...it's a red pepper.  He insisted on eating it without letting me cut it into slices.  I knew he wouldn't last long eating it that way and he didn't, but for another helping of veggies I'll roll with it!

292/365 Bubbles

He tried so hard to blow some himself. So sweet.

289/365 Birthday Party

D is 5!  Wow, I don't know when that happened!

288/365 Praying Mantis Cake

Made the birthday cake for D's party tomorrow.  He wanted a praying mantis cake.

287/365 More bouquet

Busy getting ready for D's birthday, so I took another shot of the bouquet my hubby brought me last week.

287/365 Project

Making a paper mache ant with D.

286/365 Connect 4

D got this game for his birthday, but I think Baby A likes it even more.  I am a little impressed (and a little appreciative) of the amount of time he will spend putting the game chips in the slots.

284/365 Supermoon

It was a little cloudy, but I'm still pretty happy with the results.

283/365 Family Visit

My brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew who live across country visited today.  They were only able to visit for a day, but it was so good to see them.  It was their first time to see Baby A.

282/365 Nature Preserve

We go to a local nature preserve to drop off some recycling occasionally.  D talked me into going in to see the animals this time.  They are doing some remodeling so we didn't see a lot of animals out.  The most interesting thing, at least in my opinion, was their pet skunk in the office.

281/365 Cicada

For you mothers of girls, here's a glimpse of life with boys.  Sometimes you have to move the dead cicada to set the table for dinner.

280/365 More flowers

Giving the boys a break (or feeling really lazy and unispired).

279/365 Purple Flower

278/365 Witching hour

What is it about the hour before dinnertime that prompts such whining?  One would assume hunger, right?  Except Baby A always has a snack no longer than an 1 1/2hrs before dinner.  I am beginning to think it's boredom.  We have to be at home and inside so I can cook dinner and Daddy's not home yet.  Anyhow...this is what it looks like while I cook most days...

277/365 Lizard

D found a little lizard at the zoo and, much to my surprise, caught it (that little sucker was FAST.)  He was a little freaked out when it promptly detached it's tail, but then he wanted to keep it and bring it home.  This may have become his new obsession to replace bugs.
 

 

The abandoned tail...

276/365 Walk

We ate at a restaurant by a lake for dinner and went for a walk to watch the ducks.
