Magic Phrase...

My mom quote of the day  "Your whining is unacceptable right now..."

(and yes.  It worked.  Total silence.  )

Awesome. Geeky. Lego. Master.

Yes, Folks these are some spectacular spectacles.

 Lego Glasses.

Miss E describes Snoring...

Miss E walks into our room, looking very tired. "Brother E is making this snarly noise while he is sleeping... And I don't like it. "
"It's like bumps in his nose. And I don't like it..."

Miss E on Mad Survival Skillz. YO.

We have discovered Man vs. Wild on netflix recently...
Bear Grylls is a dude who gets dropped off in wilderness situations, and demonstrates how to survive and get back to civilization... He crafts a shelter, hunts for food, navigates wierd terrain, etc.
The kids are pretty impressed.
Everytime we are out hiking "Oh, look! I can climb this like Bear Grylls!"
"Bear Grylls would eat that if he had to survive..."

About 30 seconds into an episode, sweet Miss E announces "I hope he kills something soon!"

Yes, you might want to take her on your next trip to the wild.

Giant Robot

We were taking a snack break from cleaning,
Across the Universe by the Beatles came on Pandora,

"Nothing's gonna change my world..."

Big E's skeptical response -

Nothing is going to change his world?
What if a giant robot came and destroyed a building?
That would change his world.

unhapp - e's

sometimes they get sick of my photo-shoots.

Longest Post EVER. part four

PART FOUR

Miss E gave herself a hair cut. . .

"It was in my eyes."

It's a typical part of childhood. I guess.

It's also scary to find piles of hair through the house...

It was really long . .

and I miss it sometimes.

But new shorter hair has less tangles.

AND THAT ROCKS!

ORANGE OVERLOAD

When your soda matches your dress....

Mommy gets the camera...

... and asks your brother to put on a matching shirt too ...

And then ...

We get the baby in on it ...

Super Saturday.

The two Big E’s used to have one night a week that we let them cuddle and sleep in our room, if they could do a good job going to bed all the other nights.
Of course now that we have a Little E there is a little less room
and we just had to make other plans.

Our brilliant substitute – let them sleep on the pullout couch.
It doesn’t sound too exciting, until you add a plastic cup with a crazy straw and call it Super Saturday! That’s good marketing. And so far they love it…

Strawberry Fields Forever

We found one with a nose.

So we had to give him some eyes.

And then eat him.

Super Spy Kids

The E's play "spy" and sometimes "spy dogs".

Check out the custom spy gear,

including protective eyewear and spy cell phone.

We have been blessed with some hilariously creative children!

Sometimes pictures have a story behind them...

Not in this case.

Okay, the last one says
