Greenville County Chopper

So Wyatt finally loses the front tooth that has been dangling for weeks now.

We talked about how exciting it would be to lose such an important tooth on his 7th birthday.

But it was bittersweet for him, as he prepared for the tooth fairy he said, "I'll miss you tooth. You were a good little chopper."

Blues Travelers

Taking a spur of the moment Saturday trip.

At a pit stop Zane admires the scenery yelling, "The Blue Ridge Mountains!"

Colt says, "They aren't blue, they're green."

Wyatt adds, "The trees look like giant broccoli."

Blow it up

We've enjoyed the hot air balloons in our neighborhood this week.  

When I got home from work and pulled into the driveway Zane yelled, "Mommy I hear the balloons huffing and puffing"...

So we hopped in the car to see if we could see the free show!

Lights Out

So Zane is experiencing his first power outage.

He says in his best huffy voice, "The storm stole the light."

Skyfall

Reminded this morning that no matter how much I plan, sometimes the most magical moments literally fall from the sky.

Five is fabulous

So the best part of Colt's birthday party...hearing him exclaim repeatedly, "This is the best day ever!"

Lunch date

So I asked middle little and little little if they wanted a picnic outside for lunch.  I came out with their food and they announced. "We don't need a blanket, we set up our own table and chairs!"

The only problem...they kept rolling away from their plates.

The Exhibitionist

So I leave Joe in charge of the boys for 10 minutes while I run to the pharmacy to  pick up a prescription.

I come home to find this in the driveway.

The Duel

This is what the little boys refer to as the nightly "Mohawk fight."

How Many?

I ask, "Zany, how big will you be tomorrow?"

Venting to the Heavens

So Zane gets out of the bath and looks up at the ceiling.

"Hey God!" he yells.

After a brief pause, "I'm talking to you through that white thing up there!"

New Heights

So I was driving Wyatt to school the other day. While we waited in the drop off line I noticed he was looking out of the window and was deep in thought.

I asked, "What are you looking at?"

He replied, "The trees."

"Are you wondering how tall they are? How old they are? Or when their leaves will grow back?"

"Nope," he says with a smile. "I was thinking how easy it would be to climb them."
