Brotherly Love

Today Malachi and I had a conversation that went something like this:
"Mommy can you open this drawer?"
"What for Malachi?"
"I need a spoon."
"Why do you need a spoon Chi?"
"Boston needs a spank."
"Why does Boston need a spank?"
"She spilled the soda outside."
"ummm...since when do we get spanks for spilling and Malachi doesn't spank Boston, only mommy's and daddy's get to spank."
"You go spank Boston mommy for spilling the soda!"
"No baby i'm not spanking Boston for spilling the soda."
"Please"
"No Malachi"
"Okay"
Check out what he picked to spank his sister with...who is this kid?

Track & feild

Track season started last week and Malachi was soooo excited, until it was his turn to run. He did a little better than last year. There was no crying and he held my hand as he ran down his lane as opposed to between my legs like last year. He says he wants to do it again this week so we'll see how it goes. Admiring a little high jump.
"Runners take your mark"

"Get set!"
"Go!" "Come on Chi run to mommy!" I had to run down with Boston on my back to get him and run with him so he could finish the race. Of course everyone in the stadium cheered.

WA...really!

I was talking to Regina today and she informed me that it's been raining non-stop in DC. I can't believe that we have somebody beat with good weather. This is very rare for WA state. We've actually already hit the 80's and even tip toed into the 90's last week....amazing cause it's only June. We deserve it though after the winter we had.
My kids have been keeping me out doors everyday, i'm not complaining because my tan is coming back (yep white in the winter and brown in the summer...best of both worlds!). It also makes for good running weather. I'm still staying determined. The 1/2 marathon is in 16 days and I'm doing a little teaser this weekend (12k) to see how this old body does.
The kids have been managing the heat ok, they're pretty comfy in their birthday suits as you can see, but as for Johnson the complaining has begun ("he no can like it") and has threatened once or twice to buy a AC unit....go ahead man I dare ya! My little helper. This $9 vaccum was the best purchase ever. The kids love getting it out when i'm vaccuming to help and the best part is it really sucks! haha
Nothing like a little ghetto fun. I pretty much refuse to get a kiddie pool until we get our fence up, but I don't really think this bucket looked any better. The important thing is is that she loved it. Notice that our grass is dead already. This is after 1 weekend of heat. I really miss having a sprinkler system.

Popsicles, popsicles, popsicles. I swear these kids would live off of them right now.


Man I didn't realize how rough Boston looked right then or else I wouldn't of taken the picture, but I guess her roughness is how she managed to take over her brothers bike.

These 3 three year olds (Malachi, Scarlett & Titus) are running our street. Seriously, it seems like the 3 of them have all the older kids wrapped around their little fingers.
