afternoon at the park

Heading out to the park... a lot of fights happen in this elevator. Mostly over who gets to push the button, who gets to go in first, who gets to get out first... you get the picture. And now that M's big enough to reach the buttons... so help me.

L feels it his daily duty to hold the elevator door open so that no one gets squished. One day M got left in the elevator as it closed, and L was beside himself, screaming and hollering for us to get her out. I guess he forgot he could just push the button again to open it.

This picture gave me momentary pause. You too?

B explaining the rules of his game.

A quintessential B picture: telling everyone what to do. He thinks he's the boss of everyone.

Sisterly love. These girls are so cute.

M was hanging here forever. I think she wanted to let go, but wasn't sure what would happen if she did. B took the picture while I stood next to M, in case you're worried I was slacking off on my motherly duties just to snap a pic.

Another pic by B. She is the maid/nanny for those little blonde girls, and her name is Matilda. Fits her, right? She's so sweet.

Dirty feet. She loves to take off her shoes...

Love the pics, Noelle! And laughing at the elevator fights -- I can only imagine what my kids would be like if they got to ride in an elevator all the time!

I don't check your blog for a couple days and when I come back there's a million new things!!! good job keeping it updated!

the pic of M and the pole is pretty funny--although I never would have made the association unless i read what you wrote!

it looks so nice and warm there--i just love those perfect-weather days...

Man, I love your kids. M makes me laugh so hard. She just wants to be like her good buddy Zach and be really cold!
