Yummy little mess...

In spite of the veritable cold front that was around here today (it was a chilly 95 degrees), we opted for Popsicles on the Porch this afternoon. It is my opinion that popsicles are strictly child's play. I am all for an ice cream, a snow cone, even a slush...but I draw the line at popsicles. The "sticky" is what does it for me.
But these three boys didn't seem to mind at all.


Both of these boys seem unaffected that these popsicles are making them look like they chose a bad shade of red lipstick. They appear to be caught up in the moment.



This little urchin looks like he might be willing to share his.



This little one does not.



This cupcake had her first popsicle today. You have to keep reminding yourself that she can bathe later. The "sticky" is just everywhere! What a mess...


But what a yummy little mess indeed.

Wrong?

Is it wrong to take pictures like this of your children? Maybe wrong is not the right word. Cruel. Is it cruel to take pictures like this of your children?

Bo looks a little white powder and red lipstick away from being the prettiest geisha girl I have ever seen. True there are not many geishas in Texas....but I digress.

And Jakey...are there even words? Who thought this shirt was a good idea? Worse yet, who would be mean enough to take this picture. And then post it on the blog.

Just wondering....

Not to be deterred

Shopping in the pantry. That is what she likes to do. She brings snacks to you no matter where you are in the house. I found two granola bars on my bathroom counter this morning, and a fruit snack by the front door. I keep moving things off the bottom shelves, but she is not to be deterred.




"Oh, was I caught in the act?"



"I will pretend to be perusing the label..."



"Then I will do my biggest smile, so my mommy thinks I am cute!"


"But, I've heard my mommy thinks I am cute no matter what...which is good, because I need to get back into the pantry..."
