Ezism #4: Stop Licking the Grocery Counter!

Hmm, wonder how we got the swine flu? Well, actually, Donnie brought it home from work (thanks Vipers!). But I'm sure grocery counters are full of all kinds of fun microscopic stuff.

September = Soccer

September started soccer season, or rather, HOT soccer season! Abby hasn't played for several seasons due to moving and new baby, so she was very excited to play again.

Sarah and Ezra are the happy spectators for everything involving Abby... well, maybe a little sweaty!

MomEm and Papaw were able to make a game one weekend - here's MomEm and baby Eli, before they got too hot!

Time to celebrate Miss Sarah's birthday! This is her "don't even think I'm sharing this cake with you" look.

Opening presents (some of which were regifted from big sister Abby's old things!)

And what do baby brothers do during birthday parties? Oh yes, eat the wrapping paper.

Big E and Little E (though the jury is still out on which one will be which!)

Eli, future helicopter pilot...

Ezra, future graffiti artist... (this is on the wall by our front door)

Tired from his art endeavors, Ezra asleep in the chair with Ab. So here's the funny thing about 3 yr olds ... impulse control. There's always something they just.can't.stop. themselves from doing. With Abby it was "making soup." (Using every ingredient in her bathroom to whip up concoctions ... we finally had to empty it down to nothing but towels). For Ezra, it is writing on things. Walls, furniture, himself, you name it. Instrument of choice is black marker. I've had to corral all writing implements in the house into one basket in the kitchen! Wonder what Sarah's personal method of destruction will be ...
