Catch and release

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday was a busy day of bug hunting.
We got this great puzzle in the mail from Aunt Camas and Uncle Gak, and it arrived just in time. We had no electricity all afternoon while the downstairs of our house was being rewired...




Jimmy spent a good long time playing catch and release, and putting the bugs back before catching them again.





He's really good at it, too, I figured he would take the magnet in his hand and get them that way, but he uses the net and swings the magnet like you are supposed to! Way to go hand eye coordination!




Also, if anyone wants to read a great post about becoming a mommy, go read Her Bad Mother today. Actually, this piece is so well written it could apply to nearly anything... enjoy!

Dandelion Wishes

Sweater weather has arrived, and I am trying to get Jimmy outside as much as possible before the winter rain starts.

There are lots of fun things to play with in our yard, like this beam to balance on and the calico behind him to chase around. This cat really wants into our house, but Melodie won't let him(?) past the back steps. He is a very nice and large cat, and he nearly knocks Jimmy over when he rubs up on Jimmy's legs!


We also have lots of dandelion wishes to make.
First you have to pick the danelion.


Then you blow the seeds off and make your wishes!


Have a dandelion, Mommy!


The yellow ones don't grant your wishes, unless you are wishing for less dandelions.


The outside cat has some competition for any treats put out for him at night!

Big surprise!

If it's not one thing...

It's your brother

Mommy wanted to take some pictures of the two boys...
I get a feeling I won't get a good one of them together until thay are a little older!







Don't they just look thrilled?

Alright! I'm done with the flash!



And the washrag trick is alive and well!

Not my kid

But just to brighten your day!

New house stuff

Thought you all would like some pictures, but I'll do you one better...
Here is a video tour of Joey's room!




And here is our bathroom, just in case you wondered...



I picked up a bean bag chair for Jimmy. I'd say he likes it.
This is about 10 seconds after he sat down in it!

Here Kitty kitty kitty

There are so many cats in this neighborhood I figured one more wouldn't matter!














Meow meow meow!


So cute it's scary! I can't wait for halloween! What's candy?


Jimmy hasn't decided what to be for halloween...
but he'll be cute no matter what!

Maybe crazy foffer-nose man! Gimme some candy!

Favorite picture so far!

Here's my 1000 words for the day!

Moving update

I'm sick of unpacking right now...
lets play a game!










Where's Joey?









Peek-a-boo!









Wheeeeeere's Joey?
















Peek-a-boo!









Where's Joey?









Peek-a- ... oh.. guess the novelty wore off on that one a little fast!

So sad but true

How many of there can you relate to?






*edit* O.k. this one doesn't play with sound on my computer... if you're having similar problems I would suggest searching for "white and nerdy" on you tube!

Because you're mine
