Friday Phone Dump

Marc showing off his climbing abilities.

This book is pretty hilarious.  While it was meant for adults only, we have read it to Emmery multiple times.  She now reads it on her own.  Well, not "reads" it, but acts like she's reading it.  Basically she just repeats, "go the F--- to sleep" as she flips through the pages.  Pretty comical.  

She really loves using her headphones and listening to her music.  Something she definitely gets from daddy.

I know this isn't the best picture but I'm glad I was able to get it.  He is a climber, like Em, but he takes risks.  Doesn't really care about falling.  And when he does fall, he rarely cries.  That's the laminator on the table.

We went to a nearby lake for a walk.  Sadly, with the drought, all the water areas were pretty much dried up.  This little lilly pond was pretty though.

One of our "activities" this week.  I haven't pushed the whole school thing because she's had a bit of a negative response to it.  So I just offer certain things and if she's interested we'll do them, if not, we don't.  She enjoyed this though.  She had to categorize whether it was an apple or a leaf.  Easy, but she loves to use the glue stick.

Marc was dying for a chance to check out the headphones.  I think Emmery was sleeping so he finally got his hands on them.

We went to a play date at my friend Kerry's house.  She has two kids, her son Conor is Em's age and her son Carson is 6 months.  That's Carson next to Marc!!!!!

Marc loves his birthday gift from Gramma and Papa!  John Francis!

Of course the moment Emmery sees him she wants to change his diaper....

Okay so... we all know that I don't/can't cook.  I found a slow-cooker recipe for chicken chili and I tried it on Thursday.  The kids LOVED it.  The picture above is PROOF and the picture below is PROOF!!!  But I have to say that it was very bland and just okay.  When Mikey got home he doctored it up (for us adults) and it was much better.  But seriously, Emmery was drinking it out of her bowl.  I got skilz. 

We went to the playground today and met up with some friends.  Marc is the oldest baby in this picture.  I swear.

Emmery decided it was time for a nap.

Today I walked out of my bedroom to find this.  I guess they have already discovered the thrill of wrestling each other.  I believe Marc's got her pinned.  I have a feeling this is going to be a more common picture....
