friday fotos....are these things ever really on friday anymore?!

I am sick. Sick, sick, sick. It's the WORST being sick in the summer too since the heat seems to intensify all the symptoms. My Sudafed is trying to see how loopy it can make me. Currently, my head feels like it's floating off my shoulders, so I guess the medicine is winning....might make for an interesting short Friday Fotos :).

Here's the small amount we've been up to this week:

The **coveted spot ** in the patch of sun emitted by the skylight. The little boys love to fight over who gets to lie in it!----



One evening, I ran some papers over to a friend who lives just around the corner. As I was nearing my house on the return, this is what I saw....
My creative Ethan in his interesting pajama combination....wearing the hat we put on snowmen....and dancing with an umbrella in the front yard. Passerby's were slowing down to smile at him or give him the thumbs up.....completely unaware they were creating a monster! This boys goals in life are: "to be a house painter in the day time, and to be a comedian at night." I think he may be living at home for a while... :) but love him and his imagination!!!


Liam has been working for several weeks on a behavior-related sticker chart and finally finished it to earn his Webkin.....

See the frog watching him play the Webkinz games? The frog has gone EVERYWHERE with us this week! I love that Liam truly values the reward of all the effort he put in.
And now I'm off to bed. Hopefully my head will be screwed on straight enough tomorrow to get back to reading blogs. Oh yeah...did I mention I'm also potty training? So, yuppers, just -a wee bit- wacky around here. Wouldn't change a thing though :) !

Hope you're enjoying your week too! ~Happy Tuesday-ing!!!~

Yeah! I love Friday fotos, even on Tuesday.
Hope you feel better. I can't take any of that sinus medicine because it makes me wacky. (or should I say wackier)

Marja said...

Love the pictures. Love that you posted them on Tuesday! Looks like a great week.

Lee Ann said...

Oh goodness I hope you're feeling better today! Hate those "summer sicknesses!"

Love that they fight over the sunny spot. I so remember doing that as a child.

My SIL - mother of 4 boys - always said to potty train them in the summer. Let them go free....and yes in the yard. Hope it works soon!

I hope you get better soon, also.

My kids play Webkinz and love it. I've got them in Free Realms now too, and they're having a blast there as well.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Great pics and the White Stripes made me smile (one of the favorites my daughter has introduced me to).

Oh Jennifer -
I hope you feel better real soon! It is so hard to be sick in the summer - no fair!

XOOX

I guess you can't have a dull moment with Ethan around.

Ugh, potty training. Mercifully, Mr Destructo finally clicked and has been perfectly dry during the day for two weeks. I'll be a little richer for three months. Think I can do the 2-year-old too? I guess pass the sudafed--I must be loopy too.

Oh Ethan! Funny funny Ethan! And we have that same frog at our house. "Hoppy Frog" is adored by Carter, and Johnny. Johnny has all but chewed the eyes out. Makes Carter SO mad!

Ethan does look like he might be on to something! And we too LOVE the patch of sun. We see it less here:)
