Parker is loving preschool. Tomorrow is his second field trip and Kayce and I are going along. I brought some of his artwork with me to work today and scanned it. We thinks its pretty good, but, of course, we are totally biased. Take a look at a sampling of 4 year old painting below. Enjoy.

Life Pictures, Part 3… or 4
Ok, enough with the Dilberts!
I know that’s what most of you are thinking, but I can’t stop… These are just too funny! Today’s was great.
I have a feeling people are saying that behind my back sometimes… It’s been awhile since I’ve updated anything on my blog, so I’m uploading everything at once. Coming up soon… Life Pictures, Part 3 (or 4, I can’t keep up).
Pre-“School Days”…
Well, the boys have been in preschool all week. This is the first time either of them have been in a regular daycare (even though they don’t like to call it daycare anymore). It’s always been either Mommy or Nina watching them, so this is a big change for them. Parker is doing great. He has a real shy side that comes out in public. Today for instance, is his class’ turn to swim. We got to school and I saw everyone else already had their swimsuits on, so I asked him if he wanted to change… Perfectly reasonable to me. He looked scowled at me, and in his most hateful/offended/embarrassed/lips- pursed voice said, “No, I’m not going to”. Woah! Sorry, I brought it up. Well, maybe its just being 4, who knows. Carson, has been crying every morning when I drop him off, but by the time I take Parker to his room, he is fine. We had a note come home with the boys with two pieces of construction paper, asking for us to make a picture collage for the boys. Well, we don’t have any pictures printed out, and I didn’t want to have to run to Walgreen’s to pick them up, then cut them out, and glue them on the paper… So, being me, I went alittle overboard and used a puzzle piece vector I had made a year or so ago to create the collages below. Enjoy.Â

Firepit Fun
So, I lost my mind today and decided to build a fire pit. I’m not sure what started it, or why I had to do it today (It was really hot, and humid). But we have a huge amount of firewood, which we burn during the winter in our wood stove downstairs. But we keep getting more and more wood, and we never use it all anyway. So, I’ve had this idea for a few weeks. I had several old concrete pavers, and plenty of large stones laying around, so I did it. Below is the result. I think it turned out pretty good. I did go to Lowe’s and get some river rock to put around the large stones to fill in the cracks. All in all, pretty good Saturday project. It will get alot more use in August when it starts to cool down. Even now it is so hot and sticky outside, you have to really want some s’mores to brave the heat of a fire. But it was fun, Kayce and the boys liked it. Parker really wanted to make s’mores, even though he wouldn’t eat one. He just ate the marshmallows “plain”, as he calls it.Â
Boys in June…
I just realized I hadn’t posted the boys most recent picture. They did a good job. Well, that’s all. Here it is.
