stop hitting myself

So, you know when you hold someone else's arm and make them hit themselves and say, "Stop hitting yourself"? This is how all of my kids have done it when they were little. Crosby asked me to make this video because he wanted to send grandma stop hitting myself.

This is one of the two tadpoles that are living in our living room while we watch them become frogs.

bugpops

My mom bought the kids lollipops with bugs in them. Rory wouldn't taste hers. Gage wouldn't even touch his.

This is Crosby's with a cricket in it. He ate a lot of candy and bit the cricket's head off.

Piper had a worm at the bottom of her's. She ate most of the candy and then bit off half the worm and ate it. The other half went in the trash.

A few weeks ago (actually 4 week ago -  I'm a little behind with the pictures) we were on our way to Target when we noticed that we were driving under an air show. There is a small airport right by Target. The kids always like to see the airplanes and helicopters coming and going on the way past. We stopped and watched the end of the show, but we only got to see the last few minutes. It turns out they were having community days and that they have them every year. The kids are planning their trip to community days next year.

Piper and Crosby got passes to That Bounce Place (a giant room full of bounce houses) from the summer reading program at the library. (The kids all got lots of passes and coupons for free food, but Rory and Gage were in a different age group than Piper and Crosby so they didn't ll get the same things.)
