For familyhomeevening this week kent decided to teach the rugrats how to do some extra chores so that while he's away they can pick up some of the slack. And really- they are making the messes and should be the ones cleaning the house anyway.  Windows are by far the chore of choice.  I wish I could get this excited about housework. Zeb regularly asks to do dishes, mop floors, wash windows, vacuum, and dust.

 

Check out Ike's excitement over this dumptruck. What a funny funny boy.  I can't believe how happy this kid is despite all of the injuries he gets.  He'll surely be the kid who chops off a finger and breaks the bones in this family.  Thank heavens we've got a pediatrician in the works.

He has a well-check visit tomorrow and I'm slightly concerned that his bumps, bruises, gashes, and scrapes are going to raise some questions! At least they are all in VERY conspicuous locales.

 

 Here are some shots of these two out a few weeks ago at another fhe.  We went to a park down the street and they were FAR more interested in the huge puddles than in the playground equipment.

Ike found the slickest part of the puddles and slammed to the ground at least three times- each time whacking the back of his head on the cement.  He's such a trooper, though. He demanded to get right back in and play with Zeb after each fall.
