Once Upon a Wednesday



Once upon a Wednesday morning, there were four little Muffins and their mother who all went outside to play. Mom put the littlest Muffin in her bouncer on the porch, where the next biggest Muffin watched over her.



Eventually, though, big brother Muffin became restless and used his new standing and walking skills to see what the other Muffins were up to.

Biggest brother Muffin saw that Mom had a camera. "Take a picture of my kitty!" he said. And so she did (although secretly she was really taking a picture of the cute little boy holding the kitty).


The biggest Muffin had a friend over who lives down the street. Even though she resents boy bikes (as opposed to her prized girl bike), she was happy to trade bikes with her friend, since his had a bell on it. She wasn't really into the photo shoot, though; too busy playing with her friend before it was time for both of them to go to school.


On the way home from school, the Muffin brothers fell asleep, thoroughly tuckered out from a full morning of play.


And the littlest Muffin was wide awake, having slept most of the morning.

The Lorax, our back yard version


I am the Lorax; I speak for the tree, for the tree had no tongue.







inspired by The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and by those who ordered our tree removed. we miss it already.

A Visitor in Muffinland

There's nothing like going to church on Sunday and having your friends inform you that your nephew is staying with them for the weekend. Yet, such was the case one weekend this month. There really was a good reason for the accommodation arrangements being as they were, but for the purposes of this blog, the important part is that we still got to visit with our nephew/cousin while he was in the neighborhood. Some pictures from the visit:

Our new stroller crew

Then:

First, there was Jared as baby 2 in the double stroller (Amanda was off running and playing when this shot was taken back in 2008).

Then, Curtis was baby 2 in the double stroller (Jared was there but got cropped from the picture, taken in 2009).

Now:

Behold Curtis as baby 1 in the stroller, with Lydia as the new baby 2. And, he loves his new stroller-mate.


And, here we have Jared, now graduated from the stroller and walking alongside the stroller on our little outings.
