  One thing I really like about our house is our back patio.  It's large, covered and well lit at night.  But it's really hard to like it when it looks like this most of the time.  Someday we're going to get a grill and some patio furniture.  The kids will just have to find somewhere else to ride Big Wheels and mark up with sidewalk chalk.

   GRRRRR...Remember this rock wall we paid our landscaper to build a couple of years ago?  The same landscaper that I fired for charging us for work he didn't do?  It's now falling down.  The bigger rocks weigh more than 100 pounds.  Can you imagine what would happen if one of the kids were playing by the wall when a rock falls?  Jeff started to fix it, but realized after a whole day of working, and little progress, that this isn't a one person job.  Now we've got to find another landscaper to re-build the wall.  GRRRR...

This is the mess of hair that Bailey has every morning.  She should be on that Huggies commercial with the babies with crazy morning hair and the song "I Feel Pretty" playing in the background.

   Time to say goodbye to the bink.  This yellow one was Bailey's favorite.  She had used it so much that the tip began to tear.  That was our signal to just cut it off.  It's a great way to wean her off of pacifiers.  We didn't actually have to take it away from her. Once she discovered that it didn't "work" any more, she just didn't want it.  Although when she tried it, she did ask if we could "fixth it?"

Erik's post-church attire.  Cozy.

   I sent Sydney up to her room to clean it this morning.  This picture is of when she told me she was done, mid-afternoon (after many breaks).  She has no idea what a clean room looks like.

  Random picture of the day:  Syd playing superhero in the mask she made and her blankie tied around her neck.
