"We're from Planet Duplo and we're here to destroy you!"

Three day weekend! Dart 'em Up Nerf gun battle!  

 Skating party for Zack's birthday.

 Eddie's first time on blades...he had it down after about 20 minutes.

 Babysitting for Kyle's running buddy. She's three and was excited to hold the snake!

Is it redbud time already?

"Yes, No, Maybe, I don't Know, Can You Repeat the Question?"

 Birthdays and karate lessons and play dates!

 It was Eddie's turn to attend a ukulele meeting.

Boys in trees. We spent four whole hours in the park on Saturday.

 Can you see how filthy he is in this picture? That's dirt on his face.

Everything's a riot.

 WalMart gift cards for birthdays! Eddie walked right to his gift. There was no shopping around. It's almost like he knew ahead of time what he was going to pick...

 Billy, on the other hand, was much more selective. It took him twenty minutes of studying the options to make a decision.

Godzilla!

The boys were playing with Oscar, Billy's tailless gecko...Oscar is apparently rampaging through traffic. (He's actually pretty limp. Sometimes he jumps. Sometimes he does not. He's a low-energy pet.)

 New drum set!

 Billy went to a ukulele society meeting with me!

 Cupcakes for Eddie's class.

All Billy wants for Christmas....

The last single-digit year!

At work with me the day before back-to-school.

Helping transfer liquid nitrogen to a cryomagnet. He needs to be on the payroll!
