Mugging for the camera

Aine loves having her picture taken. She also loves her baby brother.

Missing

Eamon is now short one tooth. He lost his first tooth after much diligent wiggling. It came right out and he quickly put it under his pillow. His hard work was rewarded by the tooth fairy.

Mighty Mud Mania

Dave and the three kids headed out to Chaparral Park for some fun in the mud. Every year the city presents Mighty Mud Mania. The kids were excited to spend some time in water and loads of mud. There were obstacle courses, mud pits and plenty of sand toys. They were tentative at first, but quickly acclimated to the mayhem.

Step's Junk Funk

We are continuing to enjoy the summer program through our local library. Today we enjoyed the sights and sounds of Step's Junk Funk Two artists performed for us tilizing the sounds of found objects and bodies. We saw them perform laundry, tea time, Step Boom Bop, the Ladder and much more. It was a lot of fun and insprired us to make music when we came home.

Thumb Toe

A: Mama, I hurt my toe.

H: Which one?

A: This one - the one on the end?

E: Your thumb toe?

A: Yes my toe thumb.

Juggling and Illusions

Eamon and Aine love magic, so we headed to the Tempe Library summer program today to see a little. We were able to watch Craig Davis perform juggling and magic acts. It was a lot of fun and led to a lot of "How did he do that?" discussions. Eamon liked when he stood on a loose rope and juggled. Of course, he felt it would have been better had he ridden the unicycle and juggled on the rope.

So Tired

Helping

Benton loves to help. Today he decided he wanted to help mop. He used the mop for a bit and then decided the bucket was much more fun. (if you listen closely, you can hear him say "cheese")
