Can someone come over and deal with this please?

Run for fun

These two. 

I'm pretty sure they could have fun just about anywhere. 

This marathon running effort (they must have run back and forth down the sidewalk 55 times) started with a simple walk out to the car as we were leaving Port Hope one night a couple of weeks ago. 

So. much. fun. 

Oooh, chase me, Evy, chase me!

Nothing like a little pre-bed pyjama exercise!

Sam smiling + running multi-tasking

C'mon Evy, you'll catch him (someday!)

And, the finish line!

We've had a rough couple of weeks here, with a never-ending stomach bug for both kids last week (H barfed 6 days in a row.  So gross.).  This week's medical delight was the little man developing periorbital cellulitis at the site of a bug bite he got on the long weekend.  Basically, a very ouchy infection under the skin.  It was around his eye and we had to go to the doctor's 2x for them to monitor it because it can be quite bad for the wee babas.  Anyway, 4 doses of antibiotics a day for 10 days plus a topical cream should do the trick.  Poor little dude.  He is certainly keeping me on my toes.  Here's hoping that's all for ill-health for a couple of weeks (or the whole summer!?!).

Non-stop rain here today but so far the basement is dry (phew).  Makes for a grey day, but hey, it's a perfect opportunity to update the blog!

Happy June to all (and happy 14th-month b-day to Sir Hen!).  Have a great weekend!

When bad desserts happen to good people

Sir Henry is prone to grabbing whatever food he can reach and jamming it into his mouth. He's kind of like a garbage disposal that way. For example, there seem to be a lot fewer of those pesky orange ladybugs lying around on the floor since he started crawling.

These pics are from a few weeks ago when the young sir decided to acquaint himself with those horrible smutty chocolate (?) smut rolls. He was KEEN!

Scarface and dirty face

I have so many photos to sort through from the fun and frolic this weekend, so while I tackle that project, here are a few from last week. I hereby dub these two chimps 'Scarface' and 'Barfface'.

Here's Madame E with her stitches. You would have been proud of squeamish me, taking them out this weekend. I didn't even faint or anything. Super-mom! It's healing quite nicely and the scab fell off yesterday at some point, possibly while she was eating lasagna, but let's not dwell on that revolting thought. (True recycling, non?!)







And here is the wee monsieur, enjoying his supper (scab free, I hope). He's in the delightful 'spoon grabbing and food mashing' phase right now. The only way to properly clean his chair and the counter would be to use a sandblaster. But he's definitely enjoying his food. Except for green beans, which he has informed me are vile and evil.




Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I get it now...

This is why people don't have kids.
