Brothers

Saturday Night Bedtime

James and I took Nelson & Henry on a date Saturday - Smashburger, TCBY (Orange Leaf is my favorite but it's across town from the movie theater), and Harry Potter in 3D. Jack and Kash were at home with a sitter so the boys really enjoyed some uninterrupted time with Mom & Dad. When we got home it was time to get ready for bed. They had a good time trying to get us to change sleeping arrangements around for the night!

They really wanted to sleep together.

Jack giving his sad face... please can Kash sleep with me? (no!) Penelope Pig telling them goodnight :) Henry wanted Jack with him but that didn't work out. Nelson's always happy to have his bed to himself!

Head UP!

Kash really thinks he's getting big. He's doing a great job holding his head up. His 2 bigger brothers are pretty proud of him too :)

Camp Money

Nelson & Henry both had $50 in the camp accounts for buying snacks and drinks at the camp store. They each also bought a ball cap. Nelson spent some of his money on buying a snack for a couple of friends he made. What a sweet kid! We got their refund check (leftover money) in the mail today and Nelson still had $20 and Henry only had $8! At first I was blown away... how much junk did he eat/drink at camp?! Then I remembered he was also buying snacks every day to enjoy on the way home from camp. Haha! I wonder if these current spending habits are a glimpse into how it will be when they're older. Conservative Nelson & big spender Henry!

Lock him up?

This whole waking up to the sound of furniture moving, courtesy of Jack, every morning before the sun comes up is not working out for me. Especially when I get up to discover he's already been into things (like my sewing supplies) without waking me up. Grrrr... I've got to get a lock for his bedroom door that he can NOT open! Even when I let him stay up late he is up and into stuff before the sun, LITERALLY! I woke up to his furniture moving at 6:15. He was getting a chair in position at the stove so he could "cooook, hot." Aah....

Jack, it's summertime. That means we sleep in until at least 8:00 and we do not set alarms unless we have somewhere to be. Please don't make me start setting an alarm so I can wake up before you!

(The picture is not from this morning. He pushed a chair up to the stove yesterday like he tries to do all the time. This time I let him pretend cook with me instead of moving the chair back immediately.)

A Glimpse of Our Day

The boys washed the car today then decided to dig rocks and wash them too :)

Kash thought it was best to stay in the A/C and nap while the bigger boys had their fun!

Thirsties Duo Wrap w/Snaps in Cool Stripes

I forgot what I put under the cover here but this is a couple nights ago - probably a applecheeks insert wrapped around a gcloth. Or maybe two gcloths with the hemp in the middle. Or a flat with a gcloth. I can't remember. Any way, the thirsties duo on the small rise setting fits perfectly and holds all well.
