Okay, if the bunnies aren't sun fearing vampires, maybe they just refuse to use sunscreen after the damning sunscreen report that came out this last week, or they just might be teenagers relating to me as a substitute mother figure in which case they hate my guts and refuse to look at me. In which ever case, they continue to nose dive into the deepest crevice of bunny nest every time I go out there armed with my big old bad ass camera and they won't cooperate at all. Today I was not being patient and the kids were breathing down my neck to leave for the beach, so I kind of got the same old bunny from the top shot I keep showing you over and over. You can't really tell but they grow a noticeable amount each day. It's kind of startling. Tomorrow I will try to get some new angle for you.
Today was THANKFULLY the last of school for the kids. At Josh's school they have a tradition of "clapping out" the oldest kids and tossing confetti on them. Matt and Ev really wanted to be there to clap Josh out but I got confused about the timing and they ran in just after the big brouhaha. That did not step them from cornering Josh on the playground and getting the deed done though.
Obviously Evan takes much pleasure in doing anything questionable to Josh. I'm never sure when and if I should step in. Sometimes Josh laughs right through the torture and sometimes he laughs until he cries. One of the more annoying things Evan had taken to doing to Josh is yelling "Scoops!" and "scooping" his chest. Today, while in the car with all 3 kids, I asked Evan to stop and discontinue the whole "Scoop" thing. Evan assured me that Josh enjoyed it. So I asked Josh and he thought and he said "Well, Evan scooping me wasn't on the top of my to do list but I'm fine with it." Matt and I were just about crying in the front seat trying to hold back the laughter.
Did I mention that Josh won an award for having the most advanced vocabulary in his school? The principal was so impressed with Josh's test scores that he called to tell me just how in the dust Josh left every other kid in the school. I could have guessed that result. The kid astonishes me every day with what comes out of his mouth.
Clapping out and scooping must be a Jersey thing. We cowboys (ugh) out here in Denver never heard of such a thing.
I love my bunnies.
