AM has the unique and limber ability to yank her little legs up and put her feet over her ears. As an aging late-30something brittle boned adult, I find that very interesting. So, I took a picture of it. Ouch.

JM atop Mount Scott in the Wichita Mountains, Okla. (Please understand the term "mountains" is applied generously here. "Rocky big hill-type things in the middle of an otherwise flat landscape" would be more accurate, albeit more wordy and less brochure-ready. But they are visually interesting.) Oh, and JM's shirt (for all you chocolate fans out there) doesn't really mean he's a chocoholic----it has to do with his math program that has colored blocks to manipulate and the "8" block is brown and thus, called, "Chocol-EIGHT." He received this shirt from the MathUSee guy, "Mr. Steve." JM's very proud of it.
Freaky dead tree. I liked. I photographed it.

Here is our family trip to Arbuckle Wilderness, which apparently enjoys the distinction of being Oklahoma's #1 tourist attraction. (yawn) But, it was fun, and the children enjoyed themselves.

AM was the recent recipient of a bubble machine. All the kids and the dog were equally intrigued by this $8 wonder from Target. And all the kids and the dog were equally committed to trying to catch bubbles in their mouths. Eew.
