Vegetables and Syrup

Violet and I spent some time playing with her little plastic people today while Mason was napping…the little people all have names…she was playing the role of Daddy and Violet.

Complex Math Equation

We’ve skipped the easy math flash cards. Here’s a couple of Violet working on some hardcore algebra problems… Notice Violet sporting the pony tail. She’s so stinking cute in a pony tail.

Oatmeal Hair

Mason gave himself an oatmeal hair treatment today at breakfast. It made his hair so shiny and curly. I would recommend it for anyone. Violet let me take a decent picture of her today.

Fettucini

Big changes in the Beesley household this week. We bought a car booster seat for Violet, she just meets the criteria for sitting in the booster seat. Way to go, Violet, saving your parents money. Mason has graduated from his rear facing infant seat to finally facing forward. If you haven’t noticed he’s a bit [...]

Mushroom

There are very large mushrooms growing in my backyard. I went in the backyard to take pictures of them and now my legs feel itchy. I think it’s all in my head, but last year I wiped out a bunch of poison ivy. I’m sure there’s some back there, but I think I avoided it [...]
