last Friday, Brayden realized that I can take forward facing pictures on my camera. So we sat on the couch and took pictures of ourselves. I should have video taped his laughter after each shot. He loves being silly. Lucky for him, so do I ;)

Drew and I snuck in a date last Friday night. The food was good, and being able to sit and talk to Drew uninterrupted was even better.

his life is rough, y'all.

we got new markers. I'm still not sure who was more excited... me or the kids. I have a weird thing for new school supplies.

Brayden drew several pictures with our new markers. My faves are these two. The first one, Ironman (in red) and the Hulk (in green). And above, B told me he was going to draw an egg. Who was happy. And that had legs, with a baby in its belly that was kicking its side. HILARIOUS.

the boys have been OBSESSED with catching grasshoppers this summer. This was one of the friends we found this week.

Brayden has unfortunately taken after me, and carries a bit of OCD in his blood. We've been working on pre-K worksheets the past two weeks to gear up for MDO kicking off later this month. On this particular morning, we were struggling with scissor exercises. We had to have a little talk about perseverance and not quitting when things get hard. He kept saying "My hand is SO SO tired....."

I've had to wear Tyler a lot this week. Baby boy has had a few rough days, and wearing him seems to be the best solution for everyone involved.

and last, but definitely not least. This boy. I'm almost positive that he's a shoe-in for class clown. His sense of humor amazes me.
Hopefully I will get my groove back with blogging soon. Until then, hope everyone has a great weekend!
