Sunday morning and Poison Control- Henry.

Mama was lucky enough to get Sunday morning early duty with us kids while papa got to sleep in. It was actually a very nice and quiet morning.
June decided to skip breakfast so she could play with her cars. This little girl is officially obsessed, just like her big brother. All she wants to do is line up cars and park them. She got her finger on her favorite little orange car. We have a few of those little cars and June is always carrying at least one of them with her. (She likes carrying little things all the time. Papa took her to the park on Thursday and she carried a single pony bead for over 2 hours- even while she climbed the climbing wall and went down the slide.)


While Buggy parked her cars, I did some painting.

I painted for an hour and a half before I broke into a very goofy mood.
Mama wanted to go outside to rake, so she said I had to get dressed. I got halfway there (jammies off) when I had to show off my muscles.

We don't know what muscular pose this is, but it shows off my tattoos well.

We spent the morning outside blowing and raking leaves. We were lucky enough to inherit a yard full of wonderful shade trees that hasn't been raked in at least three years. And under the danse collection of leaves is a heavy layer of acorns. Mama blew leaves for three hours on Friday morning and another 3 hours today and she estimates that she's got about 1/6 of the backyard finished. It's a little depressing because only about half the leaves in backyard have fallen. Right now she blows them into piles, rakes them onto the big 10 foot by 20 foot tarp, then pulls the tarp over the back wall and down the driveway. Luckily, there's an empty wooded lot across the street where we dump our leaves. It's a lot of work, but hopefully it won't be so bad next year.
After a superbly awesome Bengals win over the Steelers (yea!!!!), mama headed back outside to continue blowing leaves and raking acorns. She had about 5 minutes of work in when papa came running out asking if paint was poisonous. Seems like Juner climbed up to the table and opened up the black paint and really went at it. We got to make out first call to Poison Control and were assured that this paint kit was non-toxic and June would live to terrorize another day.

After supper, mama was trying out some new accessories for her camera. She got this picture of me (and my supper).

And this picture of Buggy. Can you tell we're related?

Her new flash diffuser kit has an orange flash diffuser.

And a blue one too. We don't think they are for indoor use.

Showing off his muscles looks more like interpretive dancing to me. Which is cool too.
