before I forget

Micah is almost out of this phase of his life, but I want to document it so I never forget.

He wears EVERYTHING backwards.

He hasn't put his underwear on the right way EVER.  They're either backwards, inside out, or (usually) backwards and inside out.  His shirts are usually not inside out, but usually backwards.  His pants, even!  Back pockets in the front (Kris Kross style).  haha.  I love it.  It's SO Micah.

Underwear are backwards and inside out
That picture was taken about a year ago, but it captures so much about Micah. I never thought I would forget these little quirks about my kids.  And then they grew out of them, and I forgot!  Well, not this time.

Art project

The kids thought we needed to add life to our old rusty black mailbox. I think it perfectly represents our beautiful family. Colorful, abstract, and eccentric. :)

Family Fun Friday!

What a busy day!!  We packed in a lot today, and managed to have fun while doing it!  First, we went to the wooden playscape in Georgetown.  I managed to snap some pics of them there, so I'll share those.  While we were there, we wrangled up some new friends and played police officer/criminal.  Micah was the police officer and everybody else was the criminal.  (basically a glorified version of chase/ hide and seek)  I was Micah's "partner" and we wrangled 'em all up.  (we even spoke like cowboys).  I have no pictures of Jude at the park, since he was CONSTANTLY running and hiding like a criminal would.  He was sneaky, that one...

She loves to laugh!

Going down

Afraid of what he got himself into

He made it!

 After the park, we went to see Kung Fu Panda 2.  It was so sweet!  Then, came home to play in the sprinkler and do some yard work...

Action shot.  Micah is just about to fall down and cry.

Jude LOVES getting wet.

The only shot where all 4 are in the picture.

BABY BOTTOM!

Micah testing his balance

And singing a song...

We added rock around our new tree, and weed whacked the stone in front of our shed.

Another tree with rocks

The rocks on the base of the tree- the kids LOVED helping with this.


 THEN, we ate dinner, played some wii, and headed off to our sweet sister in Christ's graduation.  YAY AUDRIANNA!  I'm so proud of her.  She has overcome much to get here, and she has such a great future ahead of her!




 Another great Family Fun Friday.  I love my family, and am so glad we're taking time to have special days together.  I hate to admit it, but if we didn't set this time aside, I'm not sure I would be as intentional about it.  It's the best part of my week.  By far.  :-)

Shrunk

Looks like Annalie's crib shrunk... Or she grew into a giant baby last night.
