Butler Box

I told Matt about a box we used to have as kids. My parents told me that the "butler" came around every night and picked up after us. If we left a toy out he'd pick it up and put it in his box. We'd have to do an extra chore to spring our toy from the pokey.

Matt implemented The Butler on Tuesday and so far it's worked great.

Today during snack (and out of the blue) Garrett asked when the butler's birthday was. No doubt The Butler has seeped into his head and he's worried about him taking his toys...

These are not the pliƩs you are looking for.

This is what happens when we watch Bolshoi Ballet videos in our house. Granted, she was doing leg lifts and spins too.

Instead of watching the A's game we left the stands to do rides in Stomper's Fun Zone...

Circus Freaks

We borrowed 8 month old twins and took them with us to the Aquarium, many many people whispered (or flat out gawked) behind our backs thinking all 4 kids were ours. I had Anne & Matt carried Louisa. Audrey fell asleep on the way home and missed us dropping the girls off. When she woke she was in tears asking, "where'd my babies go?!?!?"

Underwater Adventuring

Monterey Bay Aquarium shenanigans.

Hold on to your helmets!

Audrey L O V E D the rides at the Boardwalk, this is us in the very fast rocking Ferris Wheel. I didn't take photos on the Freefall, but I think that was her favorite, she cackled with laughter the whole time.

S'more Summer Please!
