OK, I'm not sure what the scenario in his mind was, but Ethan penned 2 notes imploring some cat to not...do some dire thing. It puts to mind a cat holding a .45, perhaps, but with what opposable thumb and how is he standing up?? Not sure, but it's kind of funny...

Horrible? No, horriblay!

What a dedicated mom I am, sacrificing myself to the fast food gods in order to provide "quality" entertainment to my kids. And of course, being sleepy, I didn't order my usual bottle of water but one of the fancy new coffee drinks from a certain McFastFood place. Let me just say this: OMG, this is sweet and somewhat disgusting. I got the iced mocha with hazelnut syrup and it is way too sweet, and has whipped cream and chocolate syrup drizzles, which go through the straw in chunks. Mmmmmm! At least Kyra likes it (and I'm not sure what that means exactly...)

My babies are growing up!

Ethan finally gets to ditch his 3-wheeler for a 2-wheeler (er...4-wheeler for now!)

Kyra sports a girlie hairstyle...until the ponytail started cutting off the circulation to her brain and giving her a headache. Oh well....

Lightsaber envy??

Hmmm.... Star Wars figures prominently on all of Ethan's activities lately.

Oh for a better camera (or a better photographer!)

In this age of Photoshop, I really should be embarrassed about the quality of this shot. Oddly enough, I am not. I guess it's borderline acceptable for the kids to shoot each other in theory rather than practice (and the darts stick to the glass better than to the kids anyway!) Ethan thought it was really funny to group shots around his sister's "privates", but I  nipped that in the bud by not taking pictures of that (and there are so many things wrong with that sentence...)
