they make me smile

Yesterday, Caroline was having fun playing by herself. When I went to check on her, I found her playing in the playroom in the middle of a pile of toys. I decided that I needed a picture. So, I quietly went and got the camera. As soon as I took a picture, she turned around to look at me and I got this picture.


After another shot or two, she decided that she was going to foil my plans for toy pile pictures. She headed across the room and then flopped down on the floor. She thought she was just the funniest thing!


Then, after a few more pictures, she decided that her baby doll needed its hat. This is funny to me because the baby doll NEVER wears her hat. Anyway, Caroline worked on it for a little while. She just can't quite get it around yet. So instead, she brought it to me to put on...and then immediately took it off...and then asked me to put it on...and then immediately took it off...and then asked me to put it on...her Mommy is such a sucker! (When Matt saw this picture, he asked me if Caroline was making her baby doll stand on its head like she does herself. Yes, she regularly takes up the exact same pose that you see her doll in there.)


Then, later in the day, I came home from...um...somewhere. I pulled up to find Nathan following right along behind Matt with his lawnmower. I thought it was very cute. Definitely worth some pictures! So, I went inside (oh yeah...I had been to the grocery store and had to put up groceries) and got the camera. By the time I got back, Nathan was hanging out on the porch. When I asked him to go back and follow Daddy, he happily complied. After taking quite a few pictures, I was headed back inside. But Nathan wanted me to take more pictures. So, I did. I guess Nathan has a sucker for a Mommy, too. Then, after taking pictures of another lap, I headed back inside again. Nathan again wanted me to take more pictures. Mommy did not comply.
