LBin the Car Wash
Believe it or not, LB does love going through the car wash. He'd been smiling a second before I snapped this picture.

Hanging Plant

After the Rain

Attack of the Squirrel

First it was hanging on my screen, but by the time I got the camera it had moved over to the brick wall. I think it wanted in, the dog wanted it to come in. She thought it would make a tasty snack!

Backyard Bubbles

He Don't Want to be A Chicken....

[In a Sing Song Voice]

I'm a duck, I'm a duck, I'm a wicked little duck.

[End Song]

This is the duck that was given to the kids for Easter by Kiki Mongoose (their Aunt).

He comes with theme music and is just the greatest thing since sliced bread (although the bread disagrees!)

Rabbit Cake

This is the carrot cake that Dot made for Easter.

I told them we were making a rabbit cake, they asked me what kind of cake it was going to be made out of.
I said "Rabbit". They laughed at me. I told them "No, really it's going to be made of rabbit. W're going to catch theEaster Rabbit, and grind him up to make our cake!"

New Critter

EB Revisualized

I decided to play with a photo of EB in photo shop and this was the end result. I kind of like it.

Head Like an Easter Egg

This was te final stage of EB's great hair experiment from last year, pink hair! It's hard to believe that he loved having fuschia hair but he did.
The name on the bottle was 'Red Passion', who knew that it would actually be pink?

Blonde

This picture was taken last year while EB was in his 'platinum' stage.

The Crime

Exhibit A: The Victim

A gift for Mothers Day (2005) from my Children.
I nurtured two beaufiful lilies, as you can see this one plant had not only one beautiful bloom, but many little buds about to burst forth and share their loveliness with the world.

Exhibit B: The Criminal

I always thought it was customary to leave the scene of the crime!!

Notice the guilty look in the eye.

Yuck, Maybe!

It looks like LB eating a mouthful of his Dad's home made Chocolate Chip Cookies looks exactly the same as him having his mouth stuffed full of poop.

Who knew?

edit: Hubby thought that perhaps you all would think he made awful cookies when he read the above.

I would like to share with you all the fact that those cookies were mouthwateringly yummy and did not in fact taste excremental at all.

Goof

At my Mom's house at Christmas.
My son trying to look all angsty and cool.

My Apple

This is another picture from our apple picking trip back in October.

This is LB protecting 'his' apple. Notice the slight frown.

That expression seems be his favorite one right now.

I'm not kidding. That kid is frowning more than smiling lately. And yes it is still a really cute face he makes.

He sort of reminds me of a grumpy old man when he does it, only a younger, smaller version.

First Taste of Apple

Last fall we went apple picking and we tooka grater along with us.

We picked an apple from the tree (MacIntosh) and grated it right there in the orchard, and fed it to LB.

This was the first time he'd ever tasted a fresh apple, usually he eats apple sauce.

It never occured to me to just grate it and feed it to him before.

This was his first taste and it really shocked him.

But after he got used to the taste he really enjoyed it.

We did it again with Red Delicious and other sweet varieties, and I have to say that I think he likes them better.

Cold Kid

The other morning EB was walking around the house, moaning about how cold it was. He said it was so cold inside that he had to put on a hat. Of course putting on a shirt might have helped more! I don't know why the kid hates shirts so much.

Giant Fingers

It's a giant hand and it's stealing the cheese and crackers!!

Actually this is my Baby Bros fingers, and we thought it was a kind of funny to take this picture.

This was taken during the Christmas holidays.

Mom

This is a picture of my Mom on the phone with her Mom, taken in her kitchen.

Bad Ass Blonde

This is a picture of EB from last spring. Back when he was a bad ass blonde.

I took a whole slew of pictures on this day, before the dying process began, during the process and then once again after.

This is an after shot.

After we did this we then attempted to dye his hair red, but it came out pink. I do have pictures of that, but I'll post them another day. Today this is all about the blondness of my son.

He still has some blonde in his hair, right on the tips. One more hair cut and it'll be all gone though. And then all that will remain of this look will be what I have in photographs.
