Garage Sale

Bye-bye baby things. Sob!

Sad and happy moment letting all of those things go. But one good thing, is that they take up a LOT of space so I'm definitely glad to get them out of the house!

Waiting

"But I wanna go on the big rides too!"

Big Chair

Three little boys in a giant chair.

Aquaman

Here are Amy, Thomas, and James riding the Aquaman Splashdown, aka Splashwaterfalls I think. They rode it several times (for exactly how many read Thomas blog) and each time, this was how their faces looked. Amy with her hands up and eyes and mouth wide open. Thomas and James almost always had their eyes shut tight on the way down.

Coaster

While Jonathan and I were waiting for Thomas, James, Amy, and Lisa to ride the Mini Mine Train yesterday at Six Flags, I had some fun practicing with shutter speed.

Boy In A Box

Never underestimate the creativity and resourcefulness of a five year old boy. I bought some plastic bins to help sort things for our upcoming garage sale. The largest bin was quickly commandeered by my eldest child in gleeful cahoots with my youngest. They have had a ball. Some days, it's a ride for Jonathan as his big brother pushes him around the house in it. Other days, it's gym equipment for them to climb in, on, and fall out of. And today, it was a chair/bed. Cushy blanket in the bottom. Cushy blanket on top. A couch pillow. And you're all set to watch Spongebob.

And for a slightly more artistic shot, I like how his feet were reflected in the box the day they were doing flips out of it.

Where Did My Babies Go?

Just yesterday their little feet fit in the palm of my hand...

Thomas age 5
