April 2013

Charlie's Hot Wheels track was a hit for both kiddos

The few blossoms we got on our fruit trees- it was cold! (It turned out to be a blessing because we didn't have that much fruit to pick up in the summer!)

Love this buddy

...and his sweet moves





Visit with Lily and Sam and the creek



Beloved blue blankey

Sweet cousins all cuddled up watching a show




more Play-doh love

Great line from The Fault in Our Stars

Chilly day 

Cat thought so, too


Who needs sand?

Sidekicks

Howling at the moon? Who knows.

Cousin swing time at the park





Sweet little friends!

Ice cream outside is a really good idea- it gets messy pretty fast




Another cousin date, this time with Jude



Very Risky Business, Georgie

John wrangling all the boys- we salvaged that play house off of a junk pile. We couldn't end up using most of it except the slide. 


Ice cream for dinner- April 2013

As a reward for cooperation during our spring family photo shoot, we promised Charlie and George ice cream for dinner. They had never been to Baskin-Robbins before (they'd had ice cream, just not in a sit-down store) and they had so much fun. I love the looks of joy on their little faces. It was a perfect moment in time. I'm so lucky. 

(There are so many pictures but I just love them all...)

picking out his flavor, chocolate, of course


first bite

little brother finding it hard to wait his turn


George's first bite

not so sure about this cold stuff...

hmm, maybe it's not so bad after all




Finally, a little smile


those eyes! that chocolate cone!


"I'm gonna get you!"


You'd better believe Mom got one, too







Love that little Marie Antoinette "beauty mark" of chocolate on his cheek



sharing with daddy...


trying to prevent a disaster


now we have a tiny spoon involved... will that keep the mess to a minimum? doubtful.


the ice cream is melting and so is the toddler

something about chocolate goatees makes those baby blues shine!

sugar daze...


The top photos always get to be on Instagram...
