Knock Knock

I just heard a knock at my office door. When I opened the door, I was rushed by two big blue buckets with little boy legs. Without a single word, they both rushed at me and I had to do all I could to keep them from getting by me and into my office, where they love to wreak havoc.

I managed to get them back out and to stand still long enough for me to snap a picture. Here's what I saw.

"I am a silly robot." A common phrase in our home.

I think they were pretending to be robots, but I did also hear Luke encouraging Logan to bash his big hard head into his own. Silly boys!

Perks of Working From Home

Homemade tomato basil soup and grilled cheese baguettes

The perks of working from home are many. Among other things, getting to enjoy last night's dinner a second time is a frequent bonus. Suzanna made this really great tomato basil and parmesan soup in the crock pot before church, so when we did finally get home, the house was full of a rich, warm, tasty aroma. She cut up a couple of mini baguettes and grilled them with some cheese to make a really great variation on the classic tomato-soup-and-grilled-cheese combination.

Summer weather calls for summer fun!

Getting to see the boys at play is another great perk of working from home. I'll occasionally take a break for a few minutes to see what they're up to, especially if I know they're at home and they've been kind of quiet. I like to see what things they've gotten in to and what trouble they might be causing. Today Suzanna set up this little inflatable pool for them and two hours later, we finally had to drag them inside for dinner. I caught a minute or two of whatever they were playing and snapped the photo above just after Logan had thrown this truck into the air. Pretty good capture speed on the iPhone, I'd say.

Just another day in the life.
