Some cute stuff for Daddy

I just don't have time right now to sit here and blog. Daddy misses the kiddos though so I will give you some videos and pictures to make him happy. I'd like to point out that Owen gets his dancing moves from his dad.

The countdown is on....

19 days until Owen is in Kindergarten. I don't feel guilty keeping a countdown because I know I'll be a wreck that first week. I figure with the full days at school he'll be exhausted and cranky at first so that should help me get through the missing him stage.

I'm not sure where this summer has gone. I know we've done stuff but I feel like it's been a big waste! I think I have to stop having such high expectations and just enjoy the days we have left. Remember the inappropriate boogie board? Here's Owen trying to master it...



Caroline slept over last night. Thanks to Dan for taking over so Meredith and I could go see "Julie and Julia." It was really good! Anyway, a sleepover inevitably means a late night, an early morning, and a few cranky kids. Here's what they did before the crankiness set in...



Here are just some cute pictures from the last few days.

Katie staking her claim to the boxes of Cabot cheese.

And trying to pilfer some cow magnets.

This is how we found Owen the other night after we had put him to bed. The next morning he said he was watching the rain.

Finally, this is what happens when you let your child feed herself yogurt and then ask your husband to clean her up.

The following is for Adult eyes only...

I try to keep my posts pretty tame. I don't generally swear or say anything too bad. However, I can't avoid it in this post. The following is a picture of the boogie board Grampy bought yesterday for Owen. Grammy wanted to make sure everyone knew that it was Grampy that bought this, not her.

If you can't see the picture on the board clearly enough, click on the picture and it should enlarge. Of course, Owen doesn't even notice, and we're not calling attention to it, but I can only imagine what other beachgoers think when they see a 5-year old toting this board around the beach.
