When we all got home, the weather was GORGEOUS so the boys and I decided to have a picnic outside and ride bikes and scooters and such.
We had such a sweet time playing outside and the boys were just bein' so cute, so I ran inside to grab my camera to snap a quick, cute pic of the brothers.
If any of you are familiar with how little boys operate, you will understand that there's really no such thing as a "quick, cute pic" of brothers. ;o) So here's a little insight into the picture saga...
I ran inside to grab my camera. I was gone probably 12 seconds. I came back out to photograph the littles and they were nowhere to be found. While I was gone for 12 seconds, they managed to devise and perfectly execute a plan to hide from me. I found them like this... hiding behind some bushes. I'm beginning to think they just might have a very profitable future being spies. :o)
Then, I got a sweet pic of Jasper.
Then, I brought Brode over and told them that if they took a nice picture together, I would give them a piece of candy. Which was a mistake. Because they got super excited. And this is them, super excited.
For some unknown reason, I told them to stop acting so excited and just smile nice. If they needed help smiling, I told them, think of monkeys. Why I did this, I'll never know. So, naturally, they started thinking about monkeys. And sounding like monkeys. And moving like monkeys.
more monkey noises.. "oh oh ah ah!"
and more monkey noises... "oh oh ah ah!"
So then, I told them to stop thinking of monkeys and start being excited again. To think about candy. So then they got excited and started throwing pine straw. For a long time. And had great fun.
So then I asked Jasper to just grab Brody's face and make him smile. So he did.
So then I gave up on trying to get a nice, quick, cute pic and gave 'em the candy.
Then, Brody saw that the camera was still out and gave me the biggest laffy taffy "cheeeese" in the whole world.
And then, when I had given up all hope of getting a nice pic, Grandpa pulled in the driveway, and viola! I got the best pic of the day.
Yesterday was beautiful here as well...I can't believe the "winter" we are having! I love the pictures you posted! The one of Brody eating the candy is priceless!
