Sean quote of the day

Me: "Sean, stop RIGHT now, or you will get a time-in."
Sean: "NO! Me got POWER!" followed by the frowniest frowny face ever.

Visit to the fish hatchery

Today was a beautiful day, and Mark had no school. We decided to go to the fish hatchery with some friends. 

Watching the tortoises

As some of you may know, we have tortoises. Both boys love watching them, and Sean decided that his polar bear and his sheep wanted to watch them too. I love how enthusiastic Sean gets!

Mark's Lady Bug

Mark found a lady bug outside in our yard on Saturday. At first he thought it was dead, but as soon as his hands warmed it, it started to walk around. He asked me to take a picture of him with it. He was so gentle and careful with those big, somewhat grubby boy hands!

Fly away, little bug!
