Benjamin and Anna in Pictures

Our little ones are so full of emotion these days, it's easy to show exactly the things that take place around here with only one or a few pictures needed. Don't even need video to get the point across! :)

Emotion #1: Irritation (Starring both kids!)
Anna has been getting up almost 2 hours earlier than she used to and isn't making up for the sleep anywhere else in the day, so she's been quite sleepy lately. One morning while my amazing hubby was letting me catch a few more Zzzzz's (as it was only 6 am), he documented both kids exhibiting irritation at one another. It starts out innocent enough with both kids side-by-side, enjoying playing with their own computers.........

Then Anna decides Benjamin's computer looks like more fun......

As you can see, this does not sit well with Benjamin........


Benjamin's irritation causes (you guessed it) Anna to be quite irritated by it also.....


Emotion #2: Unembarrassed Joy
Benjamin was slightly confused, but only for a bit when I suggested we have some water fun in our underwear (them, not me!) and skip the bathing suits the other day. It ended up being quite a lot of fun in the heat of the sun and the cool of the pool! The kids were cute and filled the water table up all by themselves.....




As always, they are cute for their close-ups too (even if they are naked!)......




Eventually, the hot sun warmed the pool enough for a fun dip for the kiddos.....


Emotions #3 & 4: Exhaustion and Dazed
After an hour or so in the sun, we came in and I put in a new Veggie Tales tape we got. They completely zonked out on the couch together to the tales of Jonah.




Emotion #5: Attitude (only one picture needed and just starring Anna)


Emotion #6: Silliness
Where's Anna?


There she is!


And always silly!


Ah, oh! We lost her again!


No emotion here, just wanted to show off my handsome son, who's getting big like crazy and starts preschool a week from Tuesday!

Emotion #7: Discovery
Anna has recently discovered how much fun this rocking whale is. I moved it out to the living room today from her room since she's been enjoying it so much. She's also getting more adorable by the second, in case you were interested! She's now singing parts of "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "ABC's"!


In case the whale pictures weren't enough evidence of her adorableness, here's one that should bring the point home! ;)


Emotion #8: Hooked
I put on PBS this morning for a change from Disney Channel cartoons and Benjamin was so happy to watch some new shows. He was glued to the TV, enjoying all the different cartoons. I felt a little guilty letting him watch so many in a row, but at least they were all mostly about reading and letters! Which btw, he's all of sudden showing an interest in. When I would try to teach him letters before, he'd get almost mad at me and say he didn't want to do it. Now he can recognize 5-10 letters! Doesn't he look so huge sitting like this???
