Lets dig through the vault...

and find all the silly, weird, or just random pictures of my kids I didn't post before due to oddness. Any one of these pictures would have been totally out of place in any other blog, but when you lump them together they make a rather attractive grouping (don't you agree?).

Note about Bennett- This kid has a fashion sense so unique he could put Punky Brewster to shame. Most days he can be found wearing a t-shirt (sometimes inside out as in the above picture), shorts, that brown adult sized fishing vest (also pictured above. From what I can gather he likes the freedom the pockets afford), and a pair of cowboy boots that are at least 2 sizes too big. He just clomps around like it's the most normal thing ever and acts totally surprised when strangers question his clothing. We get lots of stares clomping around Wal-Martt. He also has learned the trick to accessorizing. Some of his favorites are a Gilligan style fishing hat, a duck quacker necklace (from the Boston duck tour), a name tag holder necklace, his animal backpack, and of course goggles.
Another cute Bennett story- He loves folding up little pieces of paper and shoving them into his backpack, or vest pockets, or just carrying them around in a fat little stack. Any paper he finds becomes a little treasured note once he folds it up. He'll collect junk mail, receipts, discarded pictures, unattended bills, I even found a check he had pilfered from my check book. It's pretty cute, but I'm super nervous he'll get ahold of something real important and we wont find it!

This picture isn't funny, it's actually very sweet. Usually when the kids get home from school they do their homework and then have a little reading time. I LOVE reading time. Even the little boys grab a book and sit quietly and flip through the pages (I know, it's amazing). Miles is crazy about books. He really loves board books like Curious George and Baby Einstein (yeah, he's a baby duh. Why didn't I think of this sooner? He's my 4th).

Oh, and this last picture is a bonus creepy Halloween picture of me. Sometimes I look through the blog and fear if I died today my kids would be scouring the pages of cyberspace looking for pictures of me and there would be very few to be found, so I'm letting go of my pride and posting picture I've taken of myself in photo booth. Don't judge me.

I dont' judge you for putting a picture of yourself on your blog. One day I needed a picture of Sarah (and I was at my office where didn't have any pictures, it was for a blog I was writing) and I had to scroll clear back to when she posted a picture of when she was in the hospital right before she had Addie before I could find one of her!

No judgement at all. Why is it so hard for us women to have pictures of us taken? You look so sexy and beautiful.
