Our Circus

I have determined that our family has a certain amount of circus quality. Yesterday we went to get the boys haircuts and then went out for lunch. While we were at the hair salon I came to my circus realization, approximately at the same time we realized that K's flip flops had developed a terrible malodorous scent. I don't know when the whole circus thing happened, I didn't notice it as much when we were a family of five (probably because Z is so much younger than the other two), but now that A has joined the fray I can't help but laugh when we go out to eat or when we get out of the van. Here's what I saw yesterday (as I attempted to see our family from an outsiders eyes), we were at Culver's ordering frozen custard (our own personal demon), B was trying to tiptoe across the floor on the smallest stones (arms flailing), Z was just zipping around in a sporadic two year old I'm-going-to-get-frozen-custard kind of way, A was sitting quietly and leisurely in her car seat unaware of the injustice of the situation and K was wandering around pondering the realization that her feet were stinky. I know that I always appreciate a good laugh, so I'm glad that we can be comic relief for those around us.

Oh yea - the stinky flip flops were thrown away in the outside trash can at Culver's they were SO bad we couldn't allow them in the van again! K has requested that you all know that it was her flip flops that were stinky not her!!

Today we went to the pool and Z showed his daddy his new found talent. Here's the best visual image I can provide of Z in his seal floating in the pool. He looks like a cork with a smiley face. I'll get some pictures next time we go.

Finally, here's some pictures I took this week of Z playing with A. He was having a great time trying to hide her then running around her laughing. A thought this was quite fun too. I got some video of it but I'm having some difficulty with capturing my video to my computer, when I solve that problem you will be besieged with video shots of my four sweet children. I am so very blessed!

Sherry,
That was a fun video. Just so that it is clear for everyone out there I am not sure about that stink coming from K's sandals. In some circles, it is known that K happens to be a STINKY BOY. haha (Just kidding K.) Hope y'all had a great weekend!
