It's noon?!

Yes, this is what I looked like at noon. Very sad. Some days it never gets any better.

Is that her? Quick act really sad!

This is Robby as he is whinning and waiting. Once he realizes I am in the room, the real fun begins.

No, he's not stretching.

Robby has a funny way of throwing himself violently into a supine position and thrashing sadly about when I come in to get him out of bed. It's almost comical.

We're all gonna' DIE!!

This is Robby's best look of tragedy. He uses it mostly to manipulate big people into doing what he wants. At this particular moment, he wanted out of bed. Darn that beautiful boy! Who could say no to that?!

Tub bath?

Evan needed some toys in his bath. I'm not sure how they fit in there with him. He would look quickly up and then look right away when I actually took the picture. Very frustrating.

Hair washing

It's good to see that Evan throws a fit when Drew washes his hair... so it's not just me!

Everyday life.

Mostly I have been blogging holidays and exceptions. So, today I grabbed my camera and thought I would take some pictures of what a normal day is like. Evan and Drew decided that Evan need a bath IN THIS LITTLE WASH TUB! At least they took it into the bathroom.

Maestro

Our little maestro really enjoyed this huge xylophone. He was a little perturbed that we interrupted his playing to have him hold Stanley. He soon got over it and was creating masterful music again.

The truth behind the weather

Here is a picture of what it really looked like. Evan was starting to get the sillies by this point, but Drew was just starting to get interested and figure it out. We kind of stopped taking pictures at this point. We did a lot of other fun things. Angie, Drew and Evan put on a little play, we discovered the four seasons and shoes, we cleaned pennies and turned them blue, Drew got his hair powdered and the boys got their picture on a dollar bill. They even had a story read to them by Martha Washington. It was a good day all in all.

Channel 2 weather crew

This picture isn't great because it is a picture of the TV monitor they had "broadcasting" the weather. This was a fun little media area. The boys thought it was fun to see them selves on TV, although, as you can see, Aunt Angie had to talk them into doing it initially.

Roger that.

Drew really liked the Life Flight helicopter. He loved being able to sit in it and pretend he was flying it. The lady you can see with the three kids in the background had a come apart shortly after I took this picture telling her kids that Drew had to move because it wasn't his turn. Then she proceeded to tell me and Drew and a couple other kids that they had to come around to the other side if they wanted to get in and her kids had been waiting for a LONG time. It was really quite interesting, especially because no one before or after her felt it necessary to form a line on the left side of the helicopter and we all seemed to work it out without a public service announcement!

And.....

Here they are operating the crane.

Incognito!

Drew LOVED the construction area in the "Kids Eye View" area of the museum. He had to get into character before he could operate the crane. It's all about safety with Drew. OSHA would be so proud!

Flat Stanley's rescue

Evan and Stanley Discovered the Life Flight helicopter. I'm not sure how Stanley felt about being in Evan's mouth, but Evan wouldn't take his hands off his ears because the helicopter was "too loud!"

Robby's Discovery Gateway

We tried not to have Robby in the stroller too much, but it was an effective 'safety device' when it came to keeping track of three kids in a museum full of kids. He really loved these fake flowers in the "Kids Eye View" area of the museum.

Flat Stanley

We went to Discovery Gateway, a big children's museum in Salt Lake City on President's Day. It was a blast! My kind sister, Angie came with me to help corral the three rambunctious rowdies. The small, paper boy is Stanley. He was sent to us from The Lone Star state - our cousin Ryan was doing a class project. We gladly took Stanley along. It made the pictures fun with a "Where's Waldo" kind of feel!
