#1 Drew's been down this road before and knows that he is busted. His thought process is, uh-oh, hope I can still pull off "too cute to be in trouble" !
#2 Eliot's just happy to be here and says "Ahhhh, chocolaty and chewie, I should be in charge of more of the meals around here."
#3 and from that spatula technique, he soon will be.
#4 Notice that real dinner is cooling on the stove - they weren't really close enough to get burned or anything.

Thanks Mom, Now that's how dinner is done!!

Nature Walk

Going on a nature walk at the park, binoculars required!

Dutch or Von Dutch for long

After Drew told our neighbor that his Daddy was building a fence so he could get his Boo back (our dog in Idaho), we decided this was the last straw and the boys needed to have a puppy.  We got a black mini schnauzer named Dutch.  So far this picture of him on a car ride is the only time he has stayed still long enough to snap a pix! He's very active and a great match for the boys!  We will post of better pix soon!

Nascar Experience

We were driving by the Kansas Speedway and Drew saw some Lightning McQueen cars racing, so we stopped to see what was going on. They were doing a special ride-along day for $99 and a lock of your mullet. We didn't ride, but we did get to go out into the center area of the track to see the pit area and check that out. The boys wish our car was that loud! (ps-we spotted several mullets and guys with no shirts-- notice minimullet in the wild behind Barbie!)
