Summer snapshots

Here are some snapshots I found on my camera from the past couple of weeks:
Lots of block structures.  The boys spend a LOT of time building with our rather enormous block collection.  They then take a picture of it to record for posterity and then gleefully destroy it in the most chaos-inducing way possible.
Here are some "before the destruction" pictures.  I need to take some "after the destruction" pictures.  :-)

I think this bridge is the one that Brigham got Ben to stand on-- it held his weight, but when he stepped off, the whole thing kind of exploded under his feet.  Blocks everywhere.  Brigham, my explosion-junkie, was thrilled.

A whole block city (or city block?).



Here's Brigham from yesterday morning.  All the boys collected bullet casings from the shooting range floor on Monday.  Brigham meticulously arranged his in order of type and size, all the while singing a little song that went something like this: "Sorting, sorting, sorting, sorting, sorting...."  He always has a soundtrack for his life going on in his head.  :-)

Chrissy from tonight.  She was in the weirdest contortion just moments before this picture.  Cats are funny animals.  Chrissy loves to sit right here, outside the back door, batting and flies and mosquitoes.

These pictures came off of Mosey's camera.  It has a cool "negative" setting, and I thought these pictures were pretty cool!






Love these Mosey toesies.  :-)

Castle picture that Brigham drew.  

Finally, this is from this afternoon.  We went to our friend's house to go swimming.  She has an enormous, adorable labradoodle.  This dog was so funny.  She went outside where the boys were swimming, and spent an hour chasing them whenever they set foot outside of the pool.  It was all in good fun, and the boys had the best time running away from the dog and jumping into the pool, trying to trick her into jumping in after them (she never did).  She reminds me so much of Sandy from the old "Annie" movie.
That's it for tonight!
