Ben's Wisdom

 

"You know, all rules are bendable, until they break."

Not friendly when we discuss returning to school in the fall.

Every Day

That we'll take them, we'll head to the pool.

(At least we might fade out that hair)

 

Even Nicholas can be drug out of the house from time to time.

Fourth of July

I started the fruit pizza for them, and then they kind of didn't have the patience to keep with a pattern...

Still turned out lovely.

And none of them liked it.  What??

 

Then we kind of missed at everything--went to the pool 10 minutes before it closed early for the day and walked over to the fireworks and made it right as it was canceled due to rain. 

Sigh. Sleeping in, though, that was a welcome mid-week break this year.

Summer Hair

They went blond,

so they could go crazy colorful.

 

Then a few showers and a few trips to the pool later, it faded to a much better muted mess.

 

Summer hair a tradition here.  This time though, there will be some roots to grow out...

Chicken Fried Steak

Nicholas: Mom, this looks like something that should be photographed!

 

Ben: Yes, But look at the way mine is stacked.  That looks like something that should be eaten!

 

I have no idea how we have come this far without attempting this around our house.
