Patrick with his favorite baby, Brendan. He likes Bren so much, he said it made him wish he had a baby brother. Go figure that one out...
Patrick, Matthew and Brendan. M and B looking presh, Patrick making eyes at the camera.
More cuteness, Matthew style.
Ben works that right dimple--love it!
Silly boys! Brendan's all "What the..."
Finally, a nice pose. Or...the best we could do.
One of Baby B without the paci.
Sooo...I have really been trying to keep the blog updated recently, but I just realized that it's been ten days (ten very busy days), so I thought I'd at least drop a quick line for all the fans. David and Sandi are here this weekend with their two boys, so between the four kiddies I wouldn't exactly say it's been a quiet day...
Sandi and I took the three older boys to the craft fair while Luke and David stayed home with baby Brendan and watched football. Then we all went to church and I seriously thought it would be not unlike the apocalypse with four boys under the age of six, but they were actually incredibly good. So we're tired tonight, but still very much alive. I'll try to post pictures of all four boys tomorrow. :)
1. Paint. Let's just not discuss this one, okay? Moving on...
2. The Sno-cone lady. Who in their right mind drives around all day with gas costing $3-4/gallon to sell ice and sugar? She's not right in the head, I tell you. And her music, for crying out loud! The insane little jingle that she blasts at nine gazillion decibles to announce her arrival! It's quite possibly a key element in extreme torture.
3. My neighbor shooting fireworks out of his mailbox. It freaks my dogs out and makes them jump all over the windows and doors, tearing up the screens. I would have forgotten that one if he hadn't conveniently done so as I typed this. Bless him, we wouldn't want to forget about him.
4. Headache-induced vision loss. Had my first experience with that one today. That was fun. Here's what Dr. Joshua says about that:
Blurred vision, cloudy vision, colorful shapes, shimmering light, sensitivity to light, zig-zag or saw-edge shapes, blind spots commonly occur in migraine just before the headache begins. Even if you don’t have a history of migraine, you can still have a migraine attack.
Yep, sounds about right. Thanks for clearing that up, Dr. Joshua. And yes, I did see an actual live doctor and he said the same thing.
5. Full moons. Anyone that has been in contact with a small child--especially a boy one (or two)--knows what I'm talking about.
6. Migraines and full moons together. That's extra-special fun.
7. I'm sure there are lots more, but my head hurts.
Holy Mackeral! Or...rainbow trout or whatever. We have just returned from our camping trip to NC and Luke caught these two monster fish, along with a host of smaller ones that were still fairly large but not quite good enough for a photo op.
So we'll be eating trout for a while, which is fine with me. The problem lies in what to do with these suckers. I'd rather eat them...Luke would like to hang them on my walls (!!!). Which--besides being a *little* off-putting to me--is quite expensive. So that's our dilemna right now.
More pics from the trip later.
I knew that lizard was severly hydrated after being stuck in our spare room for at least a week. I knew the first thing he'd do once I set him free was go looking for water. And I was afraid he'd find it in the bucket we use to catch the excess water from the heating/cooling system.
Sometimes I hate being right. R.I.P. little lizard.
It's been that kind of week, you know?
