Sunday, June 1st

Well, I have a long, long week ahead of me, and a long week behind me so I'm just gonna put up a few pictures of the kids this weekend.

The first bunch are of Calvin and our cat, Spring. Spring loves Calvin and always sniffs at him and wanders around him while he's sleeping. We have to keep the door closed at night or he comes in and wakes him up.

All the cats love our room for some weird, cat reason. Jumping around and what not, which gets annoying after midnight. But they're careful not to get too close to Calvin, or else he'll hug them.

Delightful, little bone crushing hugs.

Just like his sister...

The rest are of Eli and Rhiannon at bed time. This is why we don't have early mornings... Eli stays up past 11 reading to himself or his sister. When they really need a good night sleep we have to separate them.

So, here's Eli hanging out with his fan, reading Calvin and Hobbes.

Rhiannon's upstairs, asleep in my floor chair. Notice the collection of blankets, stuffed animals, dolls, water bottle and books she's amassed around her. She carries her supplies with her from floor to floor and sets it all up.

This was before we came up to sleep, so there's one of the cats pouncing around her as I took the pictures.

We went over to the local elementary school this afternoon-- they open up the grounds to the public on weekends, and there's a track and swings and climbing bars... it's quite nice for the neighborhood.

Both Eli and Rhiannon are getting really athletic--we have a swing set up for Rhiannon on the roof, and a trapeze swing up for Eli.

We set the swings up to just hang from the wooden trellis, like Calvin's swing, but it's working out really well. They've been spending a lot of time up there now that the weather's nicer. Hopefully I'll have some time to take some pictures of them up there this week to put in on Wednesday.
