The Eli and Abby Show: Water bugs!

Water bugs!

Another day indulging in the glorious sunshine! The kids and I enjoyed a picnic lunch and lots of good playtime at Pine Lake today.

And Eli truly is well on his way to becoming an expert swimmer! :)

This evening we enjoyed some splash time in the back yard kiddie pool. I adore these photos of my incredibly happy kids!!

What a wonderful day!!

Eli Said...

6/15/10
"I think I already know everything." (Stated very matter-of-factly out of nowhere during dinner!)

6/13/10
"I'm not fantastic, I'm a naughty chihuahua!" (His response to me telling him he's a fantastic boy)

6/7/10
"Superman coming through! Watch out!"

"In your dreams, Mr. Beans!" (Quoting a Skippyjon Jones book...his favorite book series)

4/15/10
Eli (rushing past me): "I'm going to go put shoes on so I don't get pee on my socks!"
Me: "Why would you get pee on your socks?"
Eli (clearly exasperated that I don't understand): "No, I'm getting shoes on so I don't get pee on my socks."
Me (seeing that this line of questioning is going nowhere): "Okay." (I then step back to observe...Eli get his shoes on and rushes past me again, heading outside)
Me: "What are you doing?"
Eli (still exasperated): "Going potty outside where Dada told me I could!"
...Ah, the joys of little boys!

3/14/10
Eli: "Hammer, hammer, hammer..." (Ryan and I realize he is "hammering" Abigail)
Me: "Eli, you don't hammer your sister."
Eli: "But I'm just pretending she's a nail!"

3/5/10
"Mama, I want your arms around me" (I hug him) "Oh, not that tight!"

2/5/10
"Mama, you were wrong a lot of times!" Eli said this laughing after I told him I'd been wrong about where preschool would be meeting.

1/28/10
"When it's my birthday, we should have a 'play trains and relax' party. So make sure and tell my friends that's what it's called so they know to relax and play trains."

1/16/10
Eli: "What is that for?" (Pointing to a candle on the dinner table)
Nana: "It's called atmosphere"
Eli: "No, Nana, it's called light!"

Eli: "Salt, Zoe, salt!
Mama: "Eli, what are doing?"
Eli: "I'm trying to turn Zoe into a pillar of salt!"

11/21/09
"These are called boat shoes because they have boats inside, but I can't feel the boats because they're hiding inside the belcrows [velcro]."

"I will put Abby down for her nap, Mama. You go ahead and play." (He said this very seriously - and gave me a seriously good laugh!)

"Abby has been looking forward to my kiss all day!"

"Hello exciting baby!" (I'm pretty sure he meant "excited" but it's cute either way!)

As we were looking for a missing ball under the couch... "Mama, I can see the ball because my mouth is bigger than your mouth." Don't you just love 3-year-old logic?!

"Mama, I just saw a sign that said we cannot have nap or bed ever again!"
