Out takes

Taking pictures of the kids is always work. There are usually some threats and some bribes, and lots of cajoling. But the one picture that is nice is worth the 335 others. AHowever, the "outtakes" show lots of personality, so I usually keep them too.

Surviving Summer

Summer is upon us with a vengeance: Hundred degree temps and rising humidity have us in the water everyday. We have spent time at the pool, in the sprinklers, and at the splash park. Then we eat watermelon and make slushie runs to Sonic during happy hour. It's a great summer so far.

I guess they didn't think I was serious

...when I said, "The next person that eats out of the kitchen will be scrubbing floors."

I came home to three girls eating in Aspen's room.

Hopefully the lesson will stick this time.
