Snow

Yes, more old pictures, as all our snow is currently gone, and hopefully staying that way. It was 67 degrees and wonderful outside today.

 

Not every time that the big boys want to play outside does it work for Reed to go out, too. So I let them play in the fenced-in backyard as long as they stay where I can see them most of the time, and there is minimal screaming and/or fighting. I usually don't get much done between checking on where they are at and getting them ready to go out and then helping clean up when they come in.

 

Reed loves to watch them from inside the window and would be entertained for hours, as long as he can see them.

 

Chewing on everything!

This is what I get for posting picture late!

 

Reed is already a crawling maniac but these are from a few weeks ago when  he was not so speedy!

 

Here's Reed enjoying a good chew on one of his favorite toys from Sami!

 

not tired?

ummm...

Last week,

no snow left,

hardly any mud or puddles,

you could go about your entire day in a long-sleeved shirt,

 

this week.....

 

I could build these again!

 

How to get a satisfatory picture of 3 young boys...

This was a fairly quick and easy photo shoot, with the fewest shots in a row, including one I actually felt was a good picture!

 

For the time being, I've resigned myself to the fact that I might just get a quick, un-posed shot in the nearest place without light behind them, or a glare. And to seize the opportunity before someone changes their mind to cooperating. How else am I going to get some good shots for them to re-enact in 20 years for me???

 

The boys were all dressed nicely for Dane's birthday party, and I decided before any of them removed an article of clothing, got food on their shirt, or had to change clothes, I wanted to get a photo!

 

If I can just get the big boys to look at me and hold a smile, then all it takes is getting the attention of the Reed. :)

Cheese!
