KITCHEN HELP WANTED: Clothing Optional

I am not picky- I'll take help however I can get it!

Wii

Making the "Mii's"

The girls decided that they would all ask for the Wii for their birthdays. We decided to get it a little early so they could use it for the rest of summer vacation. For the last 2 days they have been having a Wii marathon- not the best use of time but it is so HOT that I figured a day or two of inside play won't kill them or too many brain cells!

Food or Sleep?

This is Whit's dilemma for the summer. He has gotten to the age where napping is not an everyday activity. On the days he naps he is up howling at the moon and on the days he doesn't he falls asleep at the dinner table. I am not sure what I prefer?

Murphy @ 3 months

Smiles and Drool

Love those fingers!

Stretch

Working the Mohawk

Today Murphy is 3 months old. He is pretty happy and as you can see- CHUBBY! He still insists on getting up once during the night. I guess he realizes that this is the only time he gets my undivided attention. He has made a couple of road trips this month and he is a super traveler. As long as his tummy is kept full he is good to go. He is smiling and talking to us a lot. He has started some "tummy-time" sessions but he really doesn't like it. He loves to suck on his fingers and be held- of course!

Smores

Reese- not so crazy about the 

"roasted" marshmallow

While we were at Mimi's the girls wanted to make smores with "real" roasted marshmallows. We had never done them over an open flame (you know me-I use the microwave for everything!) so they were excited to try it the right way. It took longer than they expected- no instant gratification here- and when they tasted them they were not too crazy about the chargrilled flavor. After a few tries they got a little better at roasting instead of burning them and managed to scarf done plenty of smores.

Down on the farm

We went for a quick visit to Mimi's new house in NC. She has lots of room to run and play and an old barn that is quite the attraction for the kids. Plus it is a great place to take pics! We had so much fun and look forward to spending lots of time exploring!

Blackberries

At Mimi's new house in NC she has wild blackberries growing all along her fence. The kids decided to go out and harvest as many as they could. They picked quite a few, making the local deer population very upset because there are now far fewer berries for them to enjoy!
