To sum up July...

Addie is tired of me taking pictures...

I put Addie in her bed like this...
And found her like this.
The boys are starting to play together more. This is a good thing and a bad thing. All I can think about is my brothers and all the havoc they caused... Maybe I will send my boys to them when they get older since they don't have any sons (yet)...
I found Bensen in a box. I find him in lots of interesting places.
The Catch
One day we were in the kitchen making dinner and Parker said he saw a lizard. He said it went under his car. (The one he can sit on and ride.) I believed him, but Daniel thought he was just playing. Parker kept insisting and Daniel looked around, but didn't believe him. So, I moved the car and out ran the GECKO. It froze by the table and Daniel was trying to get a bowl or something to trap it (Daniel HATES reptiles and amphibians). Meanwhile, Staucie was holding a toy lid to a toy pot (that has 3 big holes on top of it) and she put it over the gecko and said, "I got it!" We started laughing. She is NOT afraid of any of the bugs or creatures that roam our house. She has scooped up giant cockroaches into cups and flushed them in the toilet for me. If I kill a spider or bug with Daniel's shoe, she will get it with a tissue and flush it. Staucie is my HERO. I have a serious bug phobia. And I mean SERIOUS. We are actually really surprised that the kids are not terrified of bugs because of the way I act.
In this picture the kids are examining the gecko after Daniel caught it before he let it go outside.I LOVE this picture. Just look at Bensen and Addie's face.


The end. Trying to catch up...

That IS surprising that Staucie is not afraid of the bugs. That is funny she was the one that caught the gecko. That is a cute picture and the look on Bensen and Addie's face is so funny!!!

Okay, this is too hilarious. Staucie saves the day. Good for her!! ha ha She's braver than you and even Daniel. I think I would have freaked out with a gecko in my house too - and I don't get freaked out over bugs. The kids are so adorable. And Addie is already becoming a rolly polly? No! You do have to make her stop growing. But then, look how cute the rest of them are and they kept growing! Love them at all stages.

Cute pictures. You are a really good blogger. You are just a wonder woman with all you must have to do. Staucie is my hero when it comes to the bugs. I could use her here this time of year. Love to see the precious kids.
