You know he's sick when...

(We did "make your own oatmeal cookie" - mix in whatever you want - and he decided to save his for after his nap.)

Max was sick for the middle part of the day

but then felt a lot better after his nap. This is Max writing a list of food to choose from for dinner. He posted it on the fridge so that I'll know what to make. So helpful :-) What I can decipher: peanut butter and jelly (the "je" on top for jelly), noodles (what I was making for dinner, which prompted the list so that he could NOT choose it), soup with shrimpies, hummus with crunchies, and fruit. I have no idea what the last thing is. When Jack asked for some string cheese Max tried his best to prevent him from getting any because it was not on the list.

Bathtime is always great. Tonight was the first time I let Adi sit and play with her brothers. Usually we just wash her quickly before they get in. (Actually, usually we don't bath her. Details.)

The boys were asleep within minutes of getting in bed. Which is good because they really really need some serious sleep.

Sean promises he's going to write something so I'll only post one picture, but from looking through the ones he took, it looks like the boys did great on the trip.

The next few days will most certainly be even more wreckage-prone than usual because the boys spent the week with Sean in Washington, D.C. From what I can tell they've had a great trip (although neither one of them is very interested in talking to me on the phone), but not a lot of sleep has been had. They should get home in the wee hours of the night. (Sean I can't take any new pictures b/c you have the camera. But the picture frame on Max's bed in the first picture is of me and him together!)

Here's Max and Jackie in the front yard while Sean cleaned out the garage. There're getting a little too big for the mini-pool and had to find new ways to entertain themselves.

The post-swimming picnic.

And some funny faces.
