So I Like Baths, Big Whoop...

Ava and Zach were having dinner together the other night. Ava got herself a glass of water out of the refrigerator dispenser and Zach got the jug of milk out to pour himself a glass. The following exchange occurred:

Ava: Do you know what I like about water? You don't have to put it back after it's poured, like you do when you have milk. You can just sit down and drink.
Zach: Do you know what I like about water? My mother's always in it.



....Wow.

Laughing Babies

I babysat Charlotte for Brooke a few weeks back, and I spent the entire day making her laugh. It's way fun. She laughs when you talk about her poop, which makes her Brooke's daughter for sure. The giggles at around 2:30 are what I would do anything for. But the funniest thing is that I showed Charlotte this video at lunch with Brooke the other day, and Charlotte watched it and laughed at herself. I wish so much that I'd had a second video camera to capture that...

Art Therapy


Every night I walk into Ava's room every night to tuck her in and see this picture Eric drew for her taped over her bed, and it's hard to remember why I'm ever irritated at him.

The Creative One



My brother Andrew's birthday video for my mother. These are all houses my parents lived in, and I'm assuming the pictures are superimposed over the actual location where they were taken...


He also worked on the 2012 Remix of Ava's remake of Dynamite.

My Thumb Hurts Now

Ava borrowed Cole's guitar the other day and started rocking out in her room. Taio Cruz's Dynamite was the song of the day, and she tore it up.

I'll Show You...


Zachary got in trouble the other day, Colson told on him and then Eric punished him. Well, Zachary got so mad at them both that he ran up to his room and slammed his door. A few minutes later he came back out, stormed downstairs, grabbed some paper and a crayon, wrote something furiously, then took the paper back upstairs.


I guess he couldn't find any tape to attach the sign to his door in the usual way. 



Three exclamation points and a mad face. He wasn't kidding around...
