Hawaii Pictures

August Pictures

The new bedtime routine

This weekend Kristen is in San Francisco and I am in charge of the bedtime routine without supervision.  Here is what I came up with for Davis: 

Water Kids

Our kids love the water.  Bath time is really just play in the water time (for Davis too) and they love their Wednesday swimming lessons and evenings where we can escape to the town pool.  We've been going to the Tower Groves farmers market for the last few Saturdays where at about 10:00 they fill up a wading pool for kids to play in.  Here are some pictures from the farmers market and the pool.

Dinner Commentary

I have this running commentary in my head when I'm making dinner.  I'm a contestant on a reality cooking show: average people who have to get dinner on the table within 1 hour.  The challenge: 2 19 month olds and a 4 1/2 year old are loose in the house.

There are a lot of scoring rules: you lose points when somebody cries or gets hurt in another room.  You lose if somebody is in danger in the kitchen.

Here is a typical commentary from the announcers, there are two - the play by play announcer and the color commentator.
