May

Scott found Amanda's sunglasses that she left in the backseat and needs to wear them when it's "too hot outside" and sometimes when it's "too chilly."

Jonah found Pampa fish (old fish) in the book.

Jonah wanted to hold hands in the cart. Scott did not.

This is how I walk to the park with four boys under four (the baby is in the carrier). Usually Scott walks on his own, but he tripped and couldn't walk until he got a Star Wars bandaid on his knee.

Playing so well together

while I took pictures of the smiley baby.

We were playing hide-and-seek and Scott hid in the couch.

So did Jonah . . .

Can you see him? It's creepy! John and I had a good, long laugh.

I put a little book rack by the boys' chairs and they're getting even more use now.

He saw the phone.

My mom sent Jonah a Woody and Buzz plush, so now he wants all four of his toys all the time.

Jonah and his friends.

After dropping them repeatedly, John tucked the toys safely into Jonah's hood like a papoose.

He loved it.

Scott never showed interest in blankets or stuffed animals, so it's fun to see Jonah get attached to some. He'll still go without them, but his face lights up when we hand them to him.

Amanda's over = time to read.

We had our moms over for Mother's Day dinner. Karen ate, opened her gifts and quickly headed home to take and return phone calls. I think it's her favorite holiday because she loves when her kids call.

John playing horsie.

My mom and sister stayed a little later to make treats for my mom's work party the next day.

We are not a photogenic family. I thought Amanda looked great, but she didn't like any of her pictures, I didn't like any of mine and we didn't even bother to show Mom. But here's the proof we were there and had a good time.

Daddy doggy pile.

Jonah wanted something to eat while I was in the shower.

Scott found "little bacons!" in his quiche and couldn't wait to eat them all out.

Scott had a bad head bonk that was only made better by R2D2.

Another picnic at Daddy's work.

Dumps the toys to play in the basket.

The boys did watercolors while I made dinner. They loved it, but it took a lot more interaction with me than I was hoping, so not a great dinner-making distraction.

Jonah missed the paper and painted himself a little mustache. 

Building a rainbow platform for their Duplo princesses and animals.

John helped Scott find another great hiding place.

This was Jonah's spot.

We went on our monthly trip to Chik-fil-A and Scott asked for yellow sauce. They gave him two and he brought one home and wanted to dip everything in it. So he did.

Playing in the field by John's work. 

Scott helped me with some Target shopping.

Our friends had pallets of raspberries they were giving away, so we took a few containers off their hands.

I washed a package and gave it to Jonah in a bowl to share. They sat right where they were and polished it off.

Please note the 4 different stripes they rocked at once.
