Mmmm... Lunch

A few weeks back I went to Ethan's school for his class's graduation ceremony (Ethan wasn't graduating but some of his classmates were). I took the other kids with me. Isaiah wasn't about to sit still so he wondered around the room until he found something to interest him.

The kid really knows how to build a burger 

Ethan the builder

Ethan likes to build extensive roads using video tapes. He includes ramps, bridges, and what not. Here's a sampling of some of his creations in no particular order.

Spring time past

I've been wanting to post some pictures of my garden for a while. These are some pictures that I took in the spring of 2003. It was a nice day so I took the kids out (there were just two of them then) to enjoy the weather and the view.



Red Dynasty and Ice Princess tulips in bloom with Queen of the Night tulips still in bud. May 2003. The Queen of the Night tulips are a deep dark purple that sometimes appears black. The Ice Princess tulips didn't bloom this year. This past winter may have been a bit harsh for them. 




Isaiah, May 2003. 


Isaiah making a break for it, May 2003. 




Golden Appledron tulips, blue grape hyacinths, and white anemones in bloom. Alfred Heineken tulips in bud. May 2003. I admit it, I bought the Heinekens because of the name. And the pale yellow flower that fades to white at the top kind of resembles a froth topped beer. 




Big Smile tulips. May 2003. These tulips are apply named. The big yellow blooms always make me smile. They've multiplied over the last two seasons but haven't handled the dry spring this year well. 


Ethan and Big Smile tulips. May 2003. 




Apple Blossom tulip mix. May 2003. 

The peanut butter incident

This is what happens when mommy radar goes offline. I forgot that I had left an open jar of peanut butter (one of Isaiah's favorite foods) on the kitchen counter. I also made the mistake of ignoring the screaming silence. It's the silence that little children exude when they're trying not to get caught doing something that they shouldn't be doing.
