Today I noticed that I have 758 pictures on my phone and a zillion more on the computer.  I wanted to dump as many as I could into a post so I could start blogging with a clean slate.

It's sort of like the weather lately - out with the cold and in with Spring.  We've been spending as much time as possible outside - the park, the yard, the alley.  I still think it's funny to say to the kids, "Go out and play in the alley with your friends!"  It's even weirder to say, "So the other day I was hanging with my neighbors in the alley drinking some beer..." 

It's a little (just a little) more refined than it sounds.  Anyhoo - here are the pics.

In a world of smartphone cameras it's just too easy to take shots of my lovelies. I'm way backed up on posting so I'm just going to throw some old shots into a post. Write your own captions and let me know what you come up with!!

Catching Up On Pics: Ryan

Ry has been oh-so-happy to declare himself a 1st grader. He's really into reading non-fiction books right now - which is great until he asks me to read to him. Not really my cup of tea to re-learn the Periodic Table or dissect the inner-workings of an atom.

Luckily, he's also into Harry Potter, so I've got a little bit of an out.

Catching Up On Pics: Cole

Oh my sweet, sweet Coley. I swear this kid is having constant conversations with the devil and angel on each shoulder.

He's wrestling his brothers one minute then begging me to snuggle with him on the couch the next minute. Doing flips on the trampoline then saying both of his legs are broken. Eating a bowl of ice cream then asking for dessert. Putting on Crocs then saying he wants to wear sneakers.

I wonder where he gets all of that from?

Catching Up On Pics: Charlie

Chooch, Cha-Cha, Mooch-Magooch...he doesn't care what you call him as long as you're making him laugh. He's turning into a little jokester and always has that little twinkle of mischief behind his eyes.

Cha can usually be found digging in the refrigerator, pantry, or someone's plate (hence his nickname of Mooch). He still hasn't gotten all of his teeth so we're on double-teething duty this summer. Cheese!
