We had a volunteer squash patch this summer. There is an RV parking spot on the side of our house that was growing knee high weeds when we moved in. We had a friend till it with his tractor and up sprouted a bunch of squash plants. We don’t have an RV, so we let them grow. Some were pumpkins, some were butternut squash, and some we aren’t quite sure what they were.
I’ve never seen a tie-dyed looking zucchini before, but we got several. We also had pumpkins that had skins looking like cantaloupe and watermelon, but a definite pumpkin shape. It was odd. Also, a lot of grasshoppers hung out in that squash patch and the boys had a great time chasing the ‘hoppers.
Sometimes babies arms disappear. Weird how that happens.
I know I’ve mentioned the boys’ fun with toads this summer. The slightely cooler temperatures didn’t change that.
We did have to be strict about putting them back in the garden at night, rather than leaving them in their watery kid-made habitats. I didn’t want the boys to come out one morning to find a toad-cicle. They also found some frogs in the yard …
Pretty cool, but please keep them away from me!
Our front maple trees were the coolest colors …
I tried and tried to get Bobby to take a pacifier. I’ve loved having all my babies use them – it is just so nice to have something that will soothe them. The boys even tried helping …
But Bobby resisted. He’s not interested in that darn piece of plastic. He’s a skin lover …
Which I’m kind of okay with …
Pictures of a baby sucking his thumb are way cuter than a baby with a pacifier in his mouth …
But I get the feeling it won’t be so easy to take that thumb away when he turns 2!
Bobby may not like pacifiers, but at least he’ll take a bottle and let Momma be gone for a while. Another added bonus is that Poppy gets to have sleeping, drinking baby snuggle time.
I think Ricky likes Bobby. Especially when you catch him like this …
