Helping daddy

thursdays are dump nights where daddy gets 2 of the most excited helpers ever to do a mundane chore:

grab the big barrel and roll it down the driveway





race back up the driveway- this is the BEST part


don't forget the recycling bucket
ready, steady go!
(though generally I am NOT allowed to help as the dear children insist that this is their daddy project, I was allowed to photograph them several weeks ago ;) )

Ollie in the yard

Swinging!
no matter where mama puts me on this blanket I squirm around to try and grab some grass...

Backyard fun in the sun

Last week we had two really warm days so we got to be outside a bit




straight from a magazine


sliding



filling the pool (which never warmed up enough to swim in despite it being mid 80's)
new swim suit!

Cousin time

A few...weeks...ago most of the cousins all played together gleefully at mummi and Papa's while auntie steph and uncle john got the moving truck all unpacked at their new abode. It was awesome


supermodel Phoebe played mother hen and kept them entertained all day!

I got dressed all by myself

Why are you laughing so hard mama?


That's what I get for letting him see pictures of how his grampa dressed in the 80's

Adorable cuteness abounds
