I got a new lens today and, sigh, isn’t it lovely? I took this picture and then, without moving, focused on the brown blob in the background, which happens to be…

My cousin Willa and her husband are in town this week, so she invited me and the boys to their hotel pool to go swimming. Miles and Oliver and I had fun in the pool while Linus stayed on the side with Willa. And then we tried to take a group picture. This about sums it up.

Okay, I did get a cute one, but this one’s funnier, don’t you think?

Poor Milesy had a 103.1 fever yesterday afternoon. Poor bunny could barely stand up. But after a dose of ibuprofen, he was good as new! Amazing.

The boys were singing a song they learned at school at bedtime. At least I assume that’s what it is, since I don’t understand a word they’re saying.

Do any French-speakers recognize it?

Baby in a basket! My friend Jolie had this sweet little girl just three days before. But even so, she just didn’t want to fall asleep. Ah well, we had fun anyway.

Photographed another set of triplets. These are the two boys, being adorably buddy-buddy while their sweet sister was being cuddled by Mommy. I love this! (I still need to do a little editing on this pic. This isn’t the final version.)

The boys did some painting today after school. And then promptly got a bath.

Miles is quite proud of the sidewalk chunk he picked up.

(Then ran with, then threw on the ground.)

I intended to post a better picture I took this morning of the boys looking out the window, all in silhouette and cute and stuff, but alas. I accidentally formatted my camera card before downloading it, and I just don’t feel like dealing with trying to recover it. So you get this picture of the boys at my office.

What I have learned is that two days of aftercare a week is for the birds, and I’m going to have to somehow scrape up the extra money it will cost to have them in it 5x a week. Bringing them to my office is just not working. Sigh.

So I took this picture of Miles to show that a) he has thoughtfully provided, via the carpet burn on his forehead, a way for his teachers to tell him apart at school and b) that the child is messy when it comes to eating Nutella.

…but then I saw the Nutella goatee and couldn’t help but complete the transformation with a little help from Photoshop.
