A Sunday...

We didn't do much today... lots of playing football (with the boys), watching football (for Chris), a relatively disastrous grocery shopping trip (at a brand-new Harris Teeter, right at nap time, how stupid are we?), playtime with a brand new puppy (Cortney's sister-in-law made an impromptu decision to adopt a puppy while visiting!), a few meltdowns by Petey, and more playtime.  Pretty much a status-quo day around here.  Here is the day in pics...

Nico, Henry, and James made a "No Girls Allowed" clubhouse ala The Berenstain Bears.  Meanwhile, the only girl who ever plays at our house is Gabby and she usually wants nothing to do with the smelly boys anyway.  She and I are BFFs.  ;)  Oh, and Nico is currently in "jail" in these pictures...

Almost October and the flowers are still in bloom on the deck... hard to believe since I forget they're out there!

The super cute and super sweet puppy Gabby's aunt adopted!  The boys are very upset we didn't adopt him first.  :(

I came in to the kitchen and found Peter with a butter knife trying to....?

 Devastated I took the knife away...

The boys really enjoy playing football lately...

I mean, really... is anyone surprised?  No.  I know you're not.  Not even a little bit...

 Seriously... he was headed for bathtime.  How did he escape?!

Bathtime fun with food coloring... learning that blue + red = purple!

Here is what Chris found in Henry's pocket when he went to wash his shorts from today.  A small pencil, candy wrappers, a rock, 1/2 of a Lego man, and a bolt.  Hmm... that sounds about right.

A little country music and 2 cranberry, gin and tonics on the back porch to end the weekend...

I can't say the day was quiet or relaxing but it was good to be together as a family...
