"Look what Mommy did!"

Oops. We have lovely new tires now.

A Dangerous Sport

The baby is the one that needs the helmet.

Guess who started preschool!

She's excited.

Check out the snazzy backpack that a Grandma sent her.

We reached school right on time.

Doubling up

BB hit the 3 month mark on Friday and he has already doubled his birth weight. Yesterday, he weighed in at 13 lb 1.5 oz. M and J definitely did not gain weight like that; neither even managed to reach 20 lb by their first birthday. And, last night, M was only 28 lb and J was only 26 lb. BB isn't particularly chunky either; he's just growing fast. Check out his dance moves Amy.

I'm on the board for the community orchard in my lovely town. Right now the Bloomington Community Orchard has a chance to win a $20,000 grant to help get the orchard up and growing. You, too, can help.

Go to http://www.50statesforgood.com/ and vote for the Bloomington Community Orchard today (and every day from now until September 10th). You know you want to.

"Several Muddies"

We had a terrific thunderstorm this afternoon. I cleaned the garage while the kids enjoyed the rain and the muddy mole hills.

Cleaning Tip

J just figured out how to get rid of a stubborn black tarlike stain of unknown origins on the kitchen floor. It's easy - just pee on it and wipe dry. I'll be counting this toilet training accident as a success.
