After Austin's T-Ball games we usually go and get some ice cream. He only has two games left, so I will have to come up with a different reason to 'celebrate' and go get ice cream. I really have to keep my OCD in check when I give Austin an ice cream cone. (OCD-obsessive compulsive disorder for those of you who don't know. This is the disorder that makes me wash fruits with soap and water before giving them to my kids because I know I touch a lot of the fruit to check it out before buying it, and so I gather that other people do as well and where the heck have their hands been before they touched my fruit. This disorder is also responsible for making me cringe when I have to take either of the kids to a public restroom and I have to line the toilet/changing station with a fortress of toilet paper before they can sit on it, often causing Austin to yell "Mommy I can't hold it anymore!"). Therefore, I have to fight the urge to wipe his face after every lick of the ice cream cone. I just look away until he is done, then whip out the wet wipes.
Anyway, he likes to share his ice cream with his sister, who loves it as much as he does.
How cute are my kids really?!!! (You know as soon as these pictures were taken, the wet wipes were out and both kids were wiped clean. It is a disease really, I can't help it.)

Those are adorable pics! Do you know, after being at your house that summer, that I now have to wash my apples w/soap too? LOL :) Don't know why I didn't do it sooner! Peyton still looks like that after he eats ice cream, and he's 10! We're trying to get him to learn that napkins are his friends! How sweet of Austin to share w/his sis : ). Love you guys!
Are you related to Mr. Monk? I, too, love your blog and think you should publish it in a book. Love those little dirty faces!!!!
Outstanding web site. your comments of your children remind me of Brian when he was a wee one. I have many memories of Brian at a very early age.
Ask him if he remembers playing craps with dice with me when he was only two or three years old. He also would play 21 with me for hours. His mother would get upset with me because she thought I was teaching him to gamble. In reality, he was learning his numbers.
Can he still solve the Rubix Cube thing. He used to be able to do it in record time, something like 8 or 10 seconds. Neighborhood kids would come to the door just to watch him solve the Rubix Cube. I used to tell him to show them what I had taught him. In reality, I still can't solve the Rubix Cube thing.
Thank you,
Grandpa
