Beautiful Rainy Day

I am going to try out something. I think that I can now load pictures straight from my blogging page and not have to go through Picasa. Let's see...if not, oh well!
Okay, it didn't work. I hate doing it this way because it takes longer, but I can fit more pictures onto one post.



Here are some pictures of Olivia wearing one of her hair bows. I love the first one...who knows what she was doing.







I love how Josiah sticks his tongue out when he is concentrating. But he doesn't just stick it out...he really gets after it!




A Josiah Story
We were sitting at the dinner table the other night and Isaac asked if Jay played football and if I was a cheerleader in high school. We both laughed our heads off and then I said, "No, Daddy played golf and Mommy ran cross country." The boys asked what cross country is and I told them that it is running. Josiah said, "Oh, I fink (think) you did it so you could run away from Daddy!"



Today we watched the little girl that lives next door to us. She is 8 years old and I thought we needed something entertaining to do besides dress up as superheroes and play drums. So, we did a craft. It was so much fun!! We went outside and found some tree branches and then made these little birds and hung them from the branches. The only drawback...I had to use my hot glue gun again and now have one more blister. :)
This is one of Isaac's birds. Notice the glue dripping down. I'm glad that it stopped at the end of the bird and didn't end up on the carpet below. How did I not see that when I was taking the picture??


Isaac's mobile...it even has leaves on it.


Josiah's bird...LOTS of feathers!!

Watch out for this guy!

Where do you get these ideas!?!!? That is awesome!
Josiah sticking his tongue out makes me think of putting on my make-up...My mouth is always open when I do my eyeshadow. (shhh - don't tell anyone!) ha!

Cute birds, boys! Your Uncle Bob ALWAYS had his tongue hanging out anytime he was doing anything. I wonder if he still does that?
