Crayfish and Naartjie

Last Saturday we went fishing at East Canyon Reservoir. One of the things they do after setting up their fishing poles is go exploring around the area. They usually collect treasures for their own tackle boxes. Besides that, they were able to find crayfish.

Here are the boys posing with the thing. Toki caught it but Vy found it. He felt entitled to hold it as well. So, there's a bit of tug of war going on.

Here Vy managed to steal the net. Toki punches him.

Vy kicks him in return.

They both get ready to retaliate.

Legs in ready position. ha-ya

Both got a good swift kick in.

Say "Cheese." And that's how life goes around here. (bad exposure on the photos above.....sorry....used my portrait lens when there was plenty of light....shame on me)



Naartijie Photo shoot. I brought my camera along this time.




Some snap shots of the boys while waiting around the photo shoot.

Vy's fake look. Thanks for humoring me, kiddo. I love you.


Some post editing fun



Toki's eyeballs do this weird thing. They seem too far apart. I noticed Chris' eyes do the same thing in his pictures. Anyhow, I did take Toki to the specialist for this a while back. I think I've taken my kids to a specialist for just about everything now.

Chris went out of his way to take pictures of this project, so I think he wants me to blog about it.

Quin gave us two of these picnic table/bench things. They had fallen apart. I was tempted to throw them away. Chris taught the boys to recognize what needs fixing and then had them help tighten things up. After mending the benches and cleaning them, the boys stained away.

It's been a couple weeks since we put the t.v. in time out. I love how the boys haven't asked for it and have found other ways to fill the time. I have to admit......my house is extra messy these days and I've found the boys have a talent of trashing the house in no time. *sigh {can't wait till school starts....just between you and me ;0) }
