Hurricane Mitchell

Lately, we have been sick (again), out of town and just plain busy.  My child is so active, and my house is usually so messy as a result of all his detrius strewn about, that it's hard not to get discouraged about all that I don't have time to accomplish.  We are working on balance in the midst of all this craziness, but we're also trying to just enjoy life and not let the little things distract us from what's really important.  In the spirit of that attitude, here's a few pics of our life lately.  I promise another post or two is in the works, including an edition of the long lost My Favorite Things.

Kitchen utensils are the current favorite toy.

Tormenting the dogs, as per usual

See also: the things the boys have in their hands are the plastic guards to some of Spot's knives.  Again with the kitchen utensils.

Playing with the dog's ball chukker.  Of course, the dogs think this means he might be about to play with them.  They would be wrong.  Just more torment for them.

Don't you love the big orange earplugs?  BTW, since I never posted, aside from an unrelated viral infection recently, the boy seems to be doing well post tubes/adenoid surgery. 

And of course, no post about Mitchell would be complete without the requisite food shot.  He thoroughly enjoyed his meal at AE's house recently.  Ginger, the trusty clean up dog, was ever present, as you can see, and he "left" her lots of treats to dispose of.  We now know meal time is officially over for him when he pivots to the right or left and throws that foot up on the chair our counter, depending on where he is eating.  Nothing like contorting your body at an odd angle and hunching over at the waist when you have a full belly, right?
