Where Did All The Cool Air Go

0101

Usually it is the cat that picks a spot right in front of one of the vents, on the cool hardwood floor. He naps there all day, and robs an entire room of cool air. The cat now has competition for the sweet air-conditioning.

0041

Oh yeah it’s Agnes!

She has discovered her love of the air-conditioning. Here she removed the draft guard (should be in place so the entire room can have cool air) she is using the vent to fluff her pretty hair.

0071

Here she is parked right in front the vent, watching Yo Gabba Gabba!, and yes robbing the entire living room of that super sweet cool air.

Last but not least…

0012

The air-conditioning belongs to Agnes! No one will be cool this Summer, but she is happy.

@ 21 Months

Today my little miss is 21 months old… She has changed so much, I don’t even know where to begin.

003-copy

She is 100% a Toddler, she is busy, defiant, and she wants to do everything all on her own.

016-copy

She is curious, and she is always getting into something.

0181

Sometimes she is timid and shy,

0035

but those moments are few and far between.

0072

She loves having her brothers at home, and she does her best to be as big as they are.

030

She’ll make funny faces at the sight of a camera,

0036

she’ll wrinkle up her nose, and act annoyed.

0082

It is adorable though.

0063

She is changing right before my eyes…

The I’m Boreds Hit Early

I was hoping for an I’m Bored free day, but the kids were up at 6:30 a.m., and the I’m Boreds hit before 9:00 a.m. I did a quick check of the weather, it was almost 80 degrees out, I loaded up the kiddos, and we made a quick trip out.

0014

Our first stop was to the library to get a few weeks worth of reading materials for Thade. We were in luck too, our favorite librarian was in, and she helped the boys find a lot of great books.

019

We loaded up the bag with chapter books for Thade, and board books for Dylan. Dylan isn’t reading just yet, but Thade really likes to read the board books to him.

0024

Then we ran to redbox to grab a movie. The kiddos wanted to see the second Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, and I thought that sounded like a pretty good afternoon to me.

021

Dylan kicked it on a chair in the office, and tried to solve a Rubik’s Cube for a bit.

0271

Thade played his DS for a bit after he finished reading three of the books that we got earlier in the day.

029

Dylan set up a Yo Gabba Gabba! art instillation for Agnes.

Then it was time for Thade to photo-bomb every picture that I was taking.

Thade the photo-bomb master!

036

When the longest part of the afternoon hit ( 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.) we kicked it on the couch and watched a movie. It was really funny too, and I could relate a little too much to the Mom in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

I finished up the day by making a big batch of chocolate cupcakes, and giving the boy’s much needed hair-cuts (I’ll have those photos up laters).

047

Tomorrow it is supposed to be hot again, so we’ll see if we can survive another day of the I’m Boreds.

So Alike Sometimes

My Mom said to me once, I know they are all siblings, but each of them are the exact opposite of the other one.

005

It’s true.

017

They are alike in so many ways, but completely different at the same time.

010

I’ll capture an image where I think one looks like the other…

0061

Similar, but different still.

065

Agnes took these…

066

It is hard to tell if she is smiling at Thade, or if he is mimicking her smile.

067

So alike, but so different…

0171

Little personalities all their own.

0161

Each their very unique own…

20 Months

058

Our little tiny gal turned 20 months yesterday…

0054

She’ll be 2 before I know it!

She is amazing though, and she is a very busy toddler. She is always on the run, and wanting to go go go. She tries her best to keep up with her big brothers, and she loves having everyone home for the Summer.
