climber

Tank figured out how to climb into the dishwasher about 3 months ago. He has now mastered the couch and our bed and I just caught him climbing up our dinning room hutch. I am now starting to get a little worried about what the upcoming months may bring.

He knows he has been caught.

ballet recital

This past weekend Little Bug had her first ballet recital. It was quite the big event for a three year old. They had two dress rehearsals, a student celebration party, picture day and her two regular classes all the week and a half before the official performance! We're a little tired. Little Bug had a blast and was quite the cute little ballerina.

Bug cannot stop talking about the little girls with "tappy shoes" (tap shoes) and their bright pink costumes. We will see what she chooses to do next fall!

rose bush

When Tank was born my mother excitedly gave me a yellow rose bush. With the haze that comes along with having a newborn, I didn't realize what a nice and thoughtful gift this was. However, I am loving its' little cheery blooms both inside and out this year. Not to mention, the reminder they are that summertime is fast approaching. Yay!

outside

Tank loves everything about being outside. The best was when I found him eating a giant worm. I noticed something dangling from his mouth and as I went to grab it, I realized it was a worm! I pulled it out like a piece of spaghetti. Yuck.

Anytime our front or back door opens, Tank is magically there at our feet clamoring to get out. He only complains about few things in life, being hungry and having an outside door shut. So, here he is enjoying both delights; eating sand while outside.

staring contest

We have a big Costco size container of licorice that we're all enjoying around here. However, it was hard to enjoy it with a little one giving you an intense guilt producing stare. He doesn't cry, smile or beg, if you are eating something he wants, he simply stares directly at you. As you can see, his tactic works.
