This is a very recent picture--maybe a week or two ago.

Pyper insister she take her baby, and sat her on her leg the whole time so she could see.

A one night attempt at all four in one room. The older two fell asleep, the younger two partied--passing things back and forth between crib bars and over play pens.

Can you see Summer too?

I came upstairs and it was soooo quiet.

We got a free crib from someone. Summer rigged up part of it as a ladder.

Sorry--no censoring on the Barney blog!

I know I've posted this before, but it's one of my favorite pictures.

Pyper at school--hammering golf tees into styrofoam. They LOVE this and will spend hours doing it!

Basil and Dad rocking out.

Summer, seeing my arm peeling from a sunburn: "Why is it doing that?" Me: "Well, when you sunburn, you just tan. But when I get sunburned, it kills my skin, and then peels off." Summer, worried: "Are you getting very, very old now?" (now in tears) "I don't want you to die!"

Looking in the dishwasher: "I thought there was a black leaf in there, but it's just a craisin!"

"I wish my head was in my mouth so I could see what my tongue was doing."

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"

Claire told me she had "something" in her underwear. I asked her if she had an accident. She said, "No. I had a tooter and poop came out. Shooted right in there."

Me: "Stick your finger in your ear and see if you can get some of that ear wax out." Claire: "Nooooo. Because we have to lick it and that's how we wash it."
