a few things i haven't captured on my camera lately

• Andrew's obsession with boots (galoshes) and sunglasses.  He frequently wears them all day - including to bed
• the black smudge marks on the wall over Andrew's bed, where he kicked his booted feet
• Evyn's poor, swollen allergy eyes (although you get the idea from this post back in 2009)
• Andrew snuggling in bed with us after waking up with a croupy cough in the middle of the night
• The latest tooth that Evyn lost
• the kids running through the sprinkler with a bunch of kids from the neighborhood
• both kids caked, head to toe, in mud
• the same two kids with Easter chocolate all over their hands and faces
• Andrew's green-stained toes after he "helped" me mow the lawn
• painting the house with chalk (yes, painting, go figure) 
• Andrew putting himself down for nap each day last week
• Andrew refusing to nap this week
• Evyn trying to teach her little brother how to jump rope
• Andrew playing air guitar and growling, "Rock and roll!"
• the kids arguing over whose turn it is to vacuum
• Andrew counting one to ten, and backward from 5
