Procrastination...

I should be folding laundry...  Or cleaning the kitchen...  Or organizing the kids' hair ties...  Or doing finances...  Or at the very least heading to bed.  But, I'm procrastinating.  Has anyone else noticed how the later it gets, the more likely you are to waste time doing things you ought not?  But may you at least enjoy the fruits of my inability to focus.

Last Saturday we visited the Tonaquint Nature Center.  All seemed quiet...

Until you took a closer look at the trees.

Brooklyn and Talia spent all day monkeying around, thanks to their "Wild About Animals" Girl Scout Day Camp.  They had a fantastic time!

Back at home, we discovered that Eli's super-short hair can still collect some major static on the trampoline.

Brooklyn helps Eli off the tramp.

Usually the last off the trampoline, Talia surprised us by being first at the dinner table.  She couldn't wait to tear into her beer can chicken (well, Diet Coke to be precise.  We don't have much in the way of Bud Light hanging around.) 

Happy carnivore.

Finally, the mop of hair otherwise known as Annika, having fallen sound asleep in her Bumbo.  By the way, in case you were wondering, if you put a Bumbo on your stovetop and turn on the wrong burner, it will melt.  Not good.  I can't really explain why the Bumbo was on the stovetop in the first place.  In fact, I probably shouldn't even have the Bumbo on the tabletop, like it is in the picture.  Still, I'm happy to report that at least the baby wasn't in the smoldering stovetop Bumbo.  See, I'm not such a bad mother after all.

Well, there you have it--the highlights of our weekend.  Stay tuned for more fun next weekend when Jason flies into St. George and promptly helps us make the twenty hour drive to Omaha.  Fun times, folks, fun times.  :)

Think I'd better head to bed.
