Hangin' Out with Dad

Dan & Tyler enjoying a Sunday afternoon

The favorite lounging spot

What a cutie!

Not sure exactly what these guys are doing...
So silly!!

Storytime

One day I walked into Tyler's room (having just laid him down in his crib) and this is what I found-

Natalie was telling a story to the boys (who were completely enthralled)

Tyler loves having an older brother and sister that pay attention to him (most of the time)

When Natalie finished her story, Nathan said "More story!" And so Natalie proceeded to tell about 8 stories (none more than a minute long) involving different animals, princesses, and other fun things. This was such a special moment for me - all 3 kids interacting and getting along!

By the way, for those of you who don't see Nathan at home very often the first picture is how WE see him all the time - blanket wrapped around his head with fingers in the mouth. I'm so glad I caught it on camera! Also, can you tell Natalie and I had picked out new tights that day? I told her it was waaayyyyy too hot for tights, but in the end there was no reasoning with pink polka dots!!

Dog Days of Summer

This is Texas = It is HOT! What have we done for the last two weeks? The pictures tell it all...

(yes, that's my side of the bed)

Hank loves Dan's computer bag

Oh the bliss of slumber

Nice cool place to sleep

And of course we've watched way too much TV

Obviously we've had nothing better to do with our last few weeks of summer. It's even been too hot for swimming! Fortunately for us school starts THIS WEEK!! I have finally gotten my act together and am doing a preschool co-op with 5 other moms. And I can't say how excited I am! So check back later this week to find out how Natalie's first week of school goes.

Who wears short shorts?

Nathan does!!

Dan took Natalie and Nathan to the pool last night since I wasn't feeling well - thanks babe, you're the best! As soon as he got off work he took the kids and swim bag (with all their swimsuits in it) and headed out for a fun evening of swimming. They came home once it got too cold, bearing treats for their sick mommy - a Wendy's frosty and french fries, YUM!

I was a bit distracted with my delicious treat so it was awhile before I noticed that Nathan's swim shorts looked really small, like maybe they had shrunk a few sizes in the washer.

Nathan in the small swim shorts (he obviously isn't bothered by their size)

Actually, the swim shorts had NOT shrunk in the washer, although they were many sizes smaller! Dan had put TYLER'S swim shorts on NATHAN!! Yes, Tyler's 0-3month size swim shorts! Granted, they do have matching swim shorts. So what is harder to believe - that Dan didn't notice how small the shorts were, or that they actually FIT?! We definitely got a good laugh out of that last night. And I'm pretty sure Dan won't make that mistake again! :)
