Dinner Conversation

"Garrett, the way that you are crying on the outside is the way that I am feeling on the inside." Matt, channeling Ron Swanson.

Barking up the wrong tree.

Sharing

Garrett decided to bring this to sharing today.

Audrey Hides

Can you see her?

Audrey struggles to put Garrett's pants on.

Thanksgiving

Blue!

Audrey: I want to punch you, mama. 
Me: why? 
Audrey: points to VW bug. 
Me: holy shit.

Audrey clears her dishes.

Dad's Turn

Ready!

This is right before she cannonballed into the hot tub without a glance around or hesitation.

Cozy

Nothing makes a piece of furniture more interesting than telling the kids that you're selling it.

Nap-tastic

The only way I've been able to get her to nap is by strapping her on and doing mundane chores. The dismount is spectacular.

Buddies

Enthralled

By Business Week

Child Labor

Helping unload.

Shake Down

When I saw this I was really worried. I thought he had set up some kind of firing squad or something (not that he knows what that is).
When I asked what was going on he said, "oh they're lined up to pay for parking."

Snuggle Pie

Earlier today:

Little Helper

As I was returning from walking Gus I heard the clamor of a bowl hitting the sink. Audrey had finished dinner and was clearing her place. 

G ate 3 bowls of Mac n cheese.
Audrey had 2.

For Traveling Daddy

Took a photo durning family snuggle time to send to you.

Garrett wanted one of his beard.

Audrey one of her foot.

All Systems A-Ok

Audrey is singing, "robot rampage."

Goggles and a Hook

Got the essentials for a 6am trip to the grocery store.

Taking a poll

"Raise you hand if you do NOT want to choke."

3:30 Pick-up Scene

Garrett and Inara working together.

Cartwheelin'

At 6:08am

"I want it.
Swimming.
Mama."

Sunny Day

Checked the work box at school and found that Garrett had written his first word, "sunny!"

He also wrote his name, he's the second line. His buddy Matthew wrote the top line.

A Head in the Trunk

Pile On

Mom, look!

It's my name.

Get to work, Chef!

Audrey walked to her chair first thing this morning and said, "breh-fasss momma!" And proceeded to climb up and wait.
