How to explain B?

My brother is crazy! And funny! And we're good friends!

He has a lot of energy. And he's very mischievious. His favorite phrases these days are...."NO, NEVER!!!!!" and "I'm outta here..."

He loves to read. This is our M&M calendar that has somehow become a book in our house!

He has good party tricks. Like this one he does with his tongue!

He loves to sing, especially Old McDonald or B-I-N-G-O. He also loves to take off his clothes and run around the house naked! After bathtime, he will always hold his wrinkly fingers up and tell you that his fingers look like fruit snacks.

He loves to watch shows and cuddle with anyone that will cuddle with him. His favorite show is Mickey Mouse. He will ALWAYS pick Mickey Mouse if given a choice.

He runs, he plays, he makes messes, and then he crashes hard! On this day he was trying to get up on the computer chair to play and couldn't quite make it...

And sometimes he's so tired, he makes his own bed and puts himself down for a nap!

He's so cute when he sleeps!!!

Chocolate Festival!

A friend discovered that a nearby town has a CHOCOLATE festival every year! We joined our playgroup friends and took a fieldtrip. Because anything with chocolate in the title has to be good, right???

 This cute little town has a fabulous bridge where brides from all over the area come to take pictures. It was a beautiful day outside and we had fun running all around with friends.

The festival had all sorts of food, craft booths, and kiddie rides. But the highlight was the chocolate tastings. We bought a ticket and then we walked around to different vendors enjoying chocolatey morsels!

 Chocolate ice cream...

 Chocolate dipped pretzels...

Chocolate brownie, chocolate torte, chocolate waffers, and chocolate cream puffs!!! Yum!!! We left that cute little town in a sugar coma.

Death of a Binkie...

A tragedy occured in our house last week...B's last binkie broke right in half!!!!

 The beloved blue binkie died just before bedtime. B was horrified and I cried (sobbed!) for several minutes. I was very sad that my brother's friend was gone. How would he survive???

 B was pretty sure we could glue it back together.

 "Please? Get the glue, PLEASE???"

 In the end he accepted blue binkie's fate. It took him over an hour to go to sleep for a few days, but then he slept well. All in all, weaning B from the binkie was WAY easier than Mom and Dad could have imagined!

A Portrait of Me!

We were trying to take nice pictures at church for a Mother's Day project. This is just a few of my takes...

 And finally a nice one...
