Monkey Antics

Here's a visual collage of Scotty's latest circus trick (cue whimsical circus act music)....

Ta da (wild applause ensues)!!!!

Scotty's New Look

On January, 17, 2013, Brad gave Scotty his first haircut. We considered taking him to some cute, kid-friendly, excessively priced salon but since he's the third kid, Brad volunteered to do the job. Quite frankly, I think my husband possesses the same skill set as any other hairstylist that cuts children's hair. I mean....all they do is trim things. Anyhow, I digress. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. Scotty was very cooperative and he didn't even try to wack the scissors out of Brad's hands.

This is what Izzy preoccupied herself with while Scotty got his haircut. She's working on her math skills by pretending to be a student at Sam's school and illegally using the license the school bought for its students population (that's just between us, mmmk?)

This is how we kept Scotty entertained....We distracted him with lots of little people in the house:

Rub-a-Dub-Dub...Three-Kids-in-a-Tub!

Every once in a while, Brad and I get desperate for the kids to fall asleep encourage sibling love by providing special opportunities for them to share some time together in special ways. Our last adventure landed all three of them in the tub together. Scotty had some musical instruments gifted to him by his fabulous auntie and so he shared his new bath toys with his siblings...

I think Scotty might be thinking something along the lines of, What? Do I look fat or something?

Taking Care of (Healthy) Business

Two weeks ago, Izzy had her four year check up and had her cast removed. She was SUPERpumped about the saw that was used to cut through the fiberglass of her cast. She especially liked watching it come apart. Sam was with us and he gave her a play-by-play of what they were going to do to her since, almost a year ago, he had one taken off himself.

The next day, Izzy went in for her four year check up. She weighs 43lbs and is 41.5 inches high. She's a rockstar, as usual. Her favorite part of the exam was getting to pee in a cup. My favorite part was getting her hearing checked....I could've sworn she wasn't going to pass given the amount of times I have to repeat myself......
