Yeah. I'm a slacker. But in my defense...it's beautiful outside and we've been having lots of fun around here. Joel and Grace seem to be growing by the minute. I called Curt at work this week to tell him that I was sure Grace was bigger after her afternoon nap than she was before! Since I know you all enjoy the pics more than you do my nonsense...I tried to post a bunch of shots of the kids so you can see how big they're getting.
Here's my little supermodel. She doesn't even try to take off the sunglasses. Anything that she thinks makes her pretty ("pitty!"), she LOVES. She walks around the house with my purses and stares at me while I put on makeup waiting to get a little dab of lip gloss. Man...girls are so different than boys, and I'm loving it!
And here she is on a less glamourous day. Gracie...meet pudding.
Joel and Grace really do get along well together. It's been fun to watch them this summer. She definitely knows how to drive him crazy, but for the most part they play nicely.
Here's my J-man in the tub...getting so big and handsome. He tells me all the time that he's almost FOUR (not until March!). His new favorite thing is knock knock jokes. So if you have any good ones...let me know. Perhaps the funniest thing about this knock knock joke phase is that we have discovered that Curt can NOT tell a knock knock joke!!! He messes it up every time which cracks me up even more. Sorry to sell you out, babe, but it's just too funny.

Now that it's summer time, the kids are loving eating outside. We have picnics at the park or in the backyard quite often. So...when it's not nice out, they like to have picnics on the living room floor. Here's Gracie having some cereal. I think this was just Joel's clever way of convincing me that he can eat in the living room. Man, he's smooth!
And...here's why I don't usually like having them eat in the living room. I will find cereal in couch cracks and toy drawers for the next two weeks.
Joel, Grace and I hit some garage sales this morning and found some steals. Here he is in my new rocking chair for outside. 
And Grace with some sidewalk chalk. She does more eating than drawing. I actually looked up how much chalk one needs to eat before a parent needs to be concerned. The answer...a lot.
Muscle man...
C'mon. This is just funny. 
I think this is payback for all the times Joel has gotten Gracie. It's amazing how fast kids learn the "big brother trade." I was personally a victim of this for years. How many times did my brother trade me 8 pennies for a quarter?? Too many, my friends. The really sad part...I thought I was getting a deal. Also...wicker rocking chair...garage sale. $5!! Love it!
This was our other big find at the garage sales. A seesaw for $5. What better way to start your weekend than a bevy of spectacular garage sales. Mmmmmm....
Love this. Joel and Dad.
Love you all! Hope you are enjoying your summer!
