the boys explore
after we settled into the hotel and had dinner, the little boys snuck out to the construction site down the road. we found them playing on “really big trucks!”
doll a day july 17 remember
remember when you were a child and the world was anything you dreamed? noah and emrys were playing “race car” with this old fungus on a log
doll a day july 15 old
one of our favorite places to stop when we travel is beside creeks streams or rivers, which of course almost always entails a bridge of some sort. boys being boys, noah and emrys had to climb on the underside of this old rusted bridge.
doll a day 13 colorful
i’m falling way behind, but we went away out of town to a wedding this weekend and fearing the chaos that would ensue if we left all of the little ones behind with untried sitters we signed 6 of them up for a camp nearby, then made a holiday of the travel there and back, taking photos as we went. this one epitomized color to me.
doll a day 10 sleep
lucy got stuck babysitting the “terrible twosome”. not sure how much sleep is going to happen, but i bet lucy will need it once the boys are finally in bed! 😆
doll a day july 9 technology
it all start with a fairly typical squabble between the boys and the girls. you know the one…. “anything you can do i can do better?” the little boys were loudly proclaiming their superiority at all things, especially athletic, and amber had just had enough. the day had been rather hot and she was rather tired and cranky to begin with i think. anyway she said the girls were so much better than the boys that she could beat them at soccer with dovey as her partner, even though dovey can’t walk! of course the boys didn’t stop to think, they just accepted the dare.
never underestimate sneaky girls and a power chair!
doll a day july 6 – water
a sudden hail storm inspired a different interpretation of the word “water” than i had planned. emrys and noah were wide eyed at the huge piles of snow balls all over the yard and insisted on going out for a snowball fight before they all melted away.
doll a day july challenge
trying a new doll a day challenge. i’ll have to see how many days we can get this month. my record is only 11 so it shouldn’t be too hard to beat should it? we’ll see though…
anyway today’s word was secrets and i caught emrys and noah spying on crystalorn and alys as they whispered secrets to each other on the front porch. seemed perfect to me…
my alice twins
i was told that we were going to be getting twin girls at the manor – alys and aerin. imagine my surprise when the twins arrived and they were not 2 girls but a girl and a boy – alys and emrys! i’m not sure where the mix up occured but we are going to have to change the sleeping arrangements … and also try to find different clothes for emrys… the dresses i had got just won’t work! noah is, needless to say, thrilled at the arrival of another boy! 😆
