Monkey see monkey do

KB has always been an amazing tree climber! Well this winter (although it was mainly spent inside) proved to give her some conditioning to climb higher than ever before. Not only can she climb higher but she can now climb up trees that are missing lower branches ( I swear she is part monkey) Our Back fence is another fabulous thing to climb and swing on. Because of this tonight I counted 30 slivers between her two hands. The problem is that before you touch her she screams that you are hurting her! Oh the drama! I guess I never thought I'd look at a sliver and have to make the decision if it is worth the psychological toll it will take to pull it out. Some make the cut and well others don't! Kate has also discovered the joy of a back patio art gallery.

Now Buster not being able to be out shined has also proven to learn how to climb trees. Two weeks ago he could not do it on his own and now look at him!

We sure do love our little monkeys even if they can do more pull-ups than their mama!

ALREADY!!

When I don't want to lay down and mommy and daddy are busy I usually sit here. .

But Mommy and Daddy better watch me closely because today I did this! I swear this should not be happening yet. Some other things Heiselt loves to do....

blow raspberries

suck on blankets

grab the phone

laugh

play with toys (never had such a toy junkie)

roll

watch the fishies

Loves to lay on tummy and inchworm around!

Should he really be this big?! (okay not really a question, more of an astonishing thought)
Heiselt is so fun we all enjoy him in our family, some of us a little too much!

MATCH DAY!

Kids waiting for the ball to drop:)

Today was the day the little white envelope was passed out. I must say that although this whole ritualistic ceremonial stuff gets lost in my mind it did make the day very exciting. At about 11:50 they have ALL the students come up and get their little white envelopes and then at Noon exactly they sound the horn and everybody rips open their envelope and an uproar of people laughing, talking hugging, dialling as fast as they can on their cell phones and cheering. It was very similar to the ball dropping on Time Square. Without further adieu we matched at...............................

Swifty with his little white envelope!
