Water Day '08

Here are some water day highlights.

Look what the tide brought in.

Watch out MJ, we have one fierce moonwalker.

Each time you get a balloon, it's like the first time you got a balloon.

At this point, there has been no contact between the body and slide since he jumped.

Oh yeah, water.

I'm Impressed (doesn't take much)

Lauren started piano in September and last week she came home with this and worked through it herself. She can read music! I'm sure it's standard but, it's easy for me to be impressed.

My favorite art for the week

And...a dog

We got a dog!

He's one,

His name is Spaz (named before we got him).

No accidents!

We seriously lucked out with this dog.

Other Oddities

I guess you can sleep easy with this guy watching your back!

Earlier that night we found T-Rex in bed covered with a blanket and Jeremy playing with toys. Not the best replacement, but I was impressed with the effort.

Sleeping with his MP3.

Jacob is very possessive of his music.
We had a woodpecker visit for awhile.
Backyard faucet had to be locked up (dino-boy has impulse control issues)
A/C box had to be locked up (see faucet comment)

Lauren

I didn't have many pictures of Lauren, more to come.

Science experiment...The Foaming Monster

vinegar, baking soda and soap mixed in a jar decorated like monster

FYI...this combination will kill your grass

(I know no one cares, but this is one of my big things....those are shorts under the dress)

Chopping onions for the first time...very emotional.

I was impressed, once her eyes stung, she went for some glasses. They weren't safety glasses, but she has the concept down.

Last, Lauren had an awesome recital (forgot camera)!

Jacob

Still Rockin!

Coolest guy ever!

Got him! Too bad the net was in the pond first.

Jeremy

Jeremy is definitely the kite-flyer in the family.

One-handed!

Still working on the monkey bars. As usual, fear is not a factor.

Recharging on the back massager.
