Climbing

Lilly's pajama pants I made last week.

Anthony remembers what to do when he sees a crayon, pencil, or pen.

If we're lucky, he'll have a paper nearby.

If we're not...the floor or the furniture or the walls suffice for him.

Last week, our church family came over to clean up our garden.

Before they got here, Anthony and Josh were playing with a tennis racket.

Anthony dancing in his new outfit.

Maggie and Lilly went to a girls' activity at the church.

They showed some of the projects they've created this year.

Each painted their mirror frame, then the vinyl was from Alphabet Garden Designs.

Back to the garden...

This is before.

We had so many people here!

There were at least 20 HUGE Costco lawn bags filled with leaves, mainly from our big sycamore tree.

Everyone who helped, suggested we cut down that tree.

Monday evening for Family Home Evening, we had a lesson on Love At Home.

One of the activities was looking at photo albums.

The children always love doing that. :)

Then, they played scum.

Josh's shirt had a small hole in the back.

He didn't want to forget to throw it away, so he ripped it bigger.

Pretty soon, the whole thing was undone, up to his armpits.

Maggie's wrapped in the shirt string.

Andy and I have been making more breakfasts this week.

He made me this omelet this week.

Anthony has been CLIMBING like mad!

The other day, I looked up and he had climbed up into this chair and was eating a graham cracker!

I didn't know to be more surprised that he climbed and sat down, that he reached the table decently like that, or that he actually was chewing on a cracker (working on texture issues)!

The gorgeous view from Kelly's track, although my camera and skills don't do the view justice.

Anthony climbing up to the tv.

He was relaxing with one elbow up, resting on that pillow.

Josh puts the pillow there to protect the wii from Anthony's clutches.

Yeah, we're working on changing furniture around so he maybe won't be climbing as much.

That night, I had 5 different places to be.

Of course, Andy was working.

Actually standing up on the cubes.

Auntie Jenny sent a fun package full of coloring kits and lots of clothes for Anthony.

Anthony is OBSSESSED with Toy Story 3.

One of the outfits from Jenny had Woody on it.

Anthony sat for about 10 minutes in awe, studying Woody.

Anthony has been walking more, and can stand up on demand now! He's developing in leaps and bounds!
