Bath pictures, still missing dad

Sunday, May 6, 2007

Things have been crazy this week- a new level of sibling rivalry, new levels of mama fatigue, and lots of daddy missage. We’ve been trying to send pictures daily, but I slacked some, and I don’t want to -a-hem- adjust the date of the post.

Things have been crazy this week- a new level of sibling rivalry, new levels of mama fatigue, and lots of daddy missage. We’ve been trying to send pictures daily, but I slacked some, and I don’t want to -a-hem- adjust the date of the post.

Anyway, after lots of you-live-on-the-mulch/island, and I-live-on-the-trampoline/houseboat-we-can-visit-when-firemonsters-attack play, a bath was in order. I find it hard to get them both to smile at the same time- so here are a few attempts:

Archie’s sweet smile (the water is orange due to color table experiments- they are not bathing in rusty water):

Carter’s sweet smile:
both guys bath

Carter laughing as Archie wonders why mom is still taking pictures- can’t we finish the bath already?

A few random fun conversations from the past few days:

Me: (upon briefly, and only temporarily recovering my sense of smell): I can smell! I can smell again!!!

Carter: Good. Now we won’t have to call the psychiatrist.

and Archie, giving me pointers on survival without Daddy:

Me: Want some French toast for breakfast?

Archie: We can’t have that. Daddy isn’t here. (stops to think for a minute) You should get used to not having it. He’s gone for a long time.

sigh. One more week.

    I’ve been watching lots of Pinky and the Brain lately, and I hear their voices whenever I read your kids’ comments.
