Around home

Lu has finally grown enough hair for a barrette. Here are the dragonfly ones Moo picked out for her at the market.

 We are all thankful that we bought a cherry-pitter last summer when we were home. Bed Bath and Beyond truly does carry everything under the moon. Anyway, for two fruit-lovin' kids, it is a God-send. Otherwise, one of us would be "momma-birding" it all day long. Lu's favorite way to eat cherries is off her thumb. I remember experiencing the same delight with those butter finger cookies when I was little....stick a finger in and eat one petal at a time. Yum.

 So, I took the kids to the beach last week thinking we would play in the sand. The water was too irresistable for both parties. Lu came home naked (except for her bumgenius) in the front carrier, and Moo would have come home in just shorts had he not insisted he wear a shirt. The only dry shirt left was Lu's pink size 12 month sweater. It was not a good look. But hey, whatever gets them home, right? My hubbie thinks my son will not forgive me for posting this picture when he reaches his teen years. I figure I have lots of time to delete it before then. :)

 Our latest purchase and the perfect way to make that last hour between post-nap snack and when Dad comes home...a kiddie pool for our balcony. The kids love it and while I wish it were a bit bigger for Mom to fit in, I am content with my feet in the water watching my munchkins pour cup after cup of pool-tea.
