The ease of taking pictures with our phones means that we snap pictures of much more random things than my parents ever did. Here is some from July …
Lazy days of summer means more TV time than during the school year. I very much appreciate that the boys almost always can agree on the same show to watch.
Helmet safety while wagon-ing is often overlooked during safety courses, hee hee.
Sometimes this small fry thinks he can crawl into bed with his parents. Most times he see us kissing or hugging and he comes to put an end to it – he will push and shove his way right in between us. I’m not sure if he doesn’t like public displays of affection, if he is jealous, or if he simply likes to be bossy!
I adore that the boys play so well with Bobby … right down to taking him for tricycle rides!
Gotta wear that helmet …
… gotta crash into Tommy!
Speaking of crashing, Billy was riding his bike through the neighborhood one evening and I thought he’d been gone longer than I expected. Just then a neighbor showed up with her van and said, “I’ve got one of yours inside!” Billy had a bit of an accident where the gravel beat his bike and he met the road. Nothing major, but it looked ugly! His elbow and his thigh up to his armpit took the worst beating …
If you look closely at Bobby’s left eye, you can tell that his eyelid is pretty swollen. He was playing on the slide at Grandmama’s and a wasp got him. The pictures don’t really do justice to how puffy it got.
He was fine and it didn’t really seem to bug him at all, except for one thing. For the next couple of weeks, Bobby was terrified of flying bugs. Flies, lady bugs, bees … didn’t matter. He’d see one and run away or start crying and hiding. When you live with as many mosquitoes and flies as we have here – this was a problem for him! Thankfully, he doesn’t seem to have any long term fear of flying insects!
There you go.
