Hair Versus Silly Putty

Spencer and Ollie were in the car the other day. While Spencer was driving Oliver was playing with silly putty. He put silly putty in his hair.



He put a little here and there.



And a great big chunk right on the top.



We tried to use peanut butter to get it out. Ollie enjoyed that part because he got to have spoonfulls while we worked. The peanut butter got out some but...



Here's half a haircut.



And here's the end result, while Ollie pretends he doesn't want his picture taken. New rule at our house-- NO silly putty in the car. :)

Playtime

Our kids love to play together! They love to lay on the ground by each other and play. Lily loves to grab Ollie's hair and he just laughs and thinks it's fun. They also enjoy playing in Lily's crib. When Ollie hears Lily wake up crying he loves to run and climb into her crib and play with her until I come and get them out. The newest thing that they like to do is play the piano together. Ollie and Lily have adored each other since day one. I never realized that siblings love each other so much from the very beginning.

Ready For Church

Last Sunday Ollie went into his room and picked out his own church clothes and got dressed by himself. This is the end result; a nice t-shirt that says "Hulk Rage".

The compromise was to put a shirt over the hulk shirt and you get the end result; a little more church appropriate.

Food!!

Lily loves to "help" feed herself. I get one spoon and she gets one spoon. Once she realizes that nothing is coming off of her spoon she wants my spoon, so we trade. Then when nothing comes off the new spoon she wants to trade again, and again, and again. We end up with a beautiful mess. She has also started wanting to eat everything that we are eating but she has no teeth yet. We have discovered that she is truely part Beck, she loves ice cream.

Mommy Date

Spencer and I take turns having "dates" with Ollie. I was planning a date with him and I asked him what he wanted to do. I left it totally open. He picked that he wanted to plant flowers. So these are his flowers that he picked out. (Not much selection in HOT August time.) He gets to water them everyday. He is very proud of them.

Ta Da

Ollie cleaned his room all by himself. This is a picture of him standing by his bed saying "Ta Da".

Pretty in Purple

Lily got a new cast this week. Ollie gets to pick the color. He has decided that Lily's favorite color is pink so the first cast was pink. His favorite color is purple so the second cast is purple. This new cast is much less smelly than the last one but she is working on getting it back to its smelly stage. There is one problem with this new cast... it has no signatures. So we are going to start a virtual cast. You send us a message and we will write it on the cast.
