This morning Sammy decided to experiment with banana hair gel and face lotion. Did you know that banana is really hard to get out of hair?

This is the banner I've been working on for Sammy's bedroom wall since he was born! Yes, I'm a slacker and I have no excuse! Now I need to do one for Jake. Any bets on when that one will get done?!

Sammy and Mommy feeding an apple to the horses in Dalston. Crikey! I need an image and body overhaul!

Still going... but not quite as many now (this is 3 to get Jake from 7 pm to 7 am and one for Sammy in the morning).

Why is it that almost all the food I've photographed for this project ends up looking like poop or sick? This very suspect lump of brown-ness is actually a very delicious piece of Cowboy Cake.
I'm totally diggin' that Pioneer Woman these days. (note, she doesn't call it Cowboy Cake but I understand this recipe is called that and also Texas Sheet Cake)

Today was a fun day for Sammy. In the morning while Mommy sorted and packed things, he hung out with Granny and Grandad. They showed him the collection of buttons Granny has. Much time was spent talking about what color they were, what you could make with them if you put them in lines, etc. Apparently Sammy also enjoyed stuffing them down his shirt. What Granny and Grandad didn't realize was that he was wearing a onesie. So when Mommy went to change him after a GIANT stinky poo, she found out where the buttons had gone. 3 survived. One didn't. Here he is enjoying a breeze after vigorous cleaning and here are the buttons we safely returned to Granny.

A confession: I've been really bad at keeping track of what I've photographed and when. The time stamp on my camera is wrong and I can't find the manual to fix it. So I have to either write down or remember when a took a certain picture. I just can't get organized enough to upload every day. Despite being positive I'd taken a pic a day for the last 2 weeks, it would seem I haven't. And as our days have been good, but uneventful, I can't be sure what pic goes with what day now! So, I'm missing 2 days since the 16th of September and I can't promise you that I actually took said picture on said say. Which is why I've stopped posting dates.
Anyway, I'll try to be a bit more organized from now on.

*sigh*
This is Tessa's cupboard after a grocery delivery. She says she didn't realize how many sweets she'd ordered but I think this is a fair representation. Yes, there are SIX packages of cake, TEN packets of biscuits (cookies), a box of scones, and a bar of chocolate. What you can't see is on the counter another tupperware box of biscuits with 2 new packs in it, and another pack of scones. She gets a food delivery every two weeks and I can guarantee you all that will be left will be crumbs of digestives and rich tea biscuits. I don't understand why my in-laws aren't as big as houses. And I'm amazed I've only put on a few pounds since living here. So far....

OK, if you haven't received a critter yet, don't look!!
This is the fish I made for the aforementioned critter swap. Tessa helped me a lot, but the design is all mine. I hope my critter-getter likes it!

This is Cornelia, the Cornish cow I received in a home-made critter swap I took part in. I think she's enjoying her new Cumbria home!

Another rare shot of Mommy! Here we are in London. We've just offcially registerd Jacob with the American Embassy. He's got his birth abroad certificate and his US passport will arrive soon. Thanks to Aunty Robin for her help with all this!!

Today we went to World of Country Life in Exmouth. Of all the things Sammy could have been fascinated by (animals, bouncy castles, soft play areas, trikes, tractors), he found a big ol' puddle. He's such a cutie!

Jake in his makeshift bed at our friends in Exeter. We have a lot of bad habits to break in the next few months - starting with getting him to sleep in his own bed away from Mommy!

Glenn picking up his train tickets the night before he had to go to Exeter to make an emergency microscope swap - 10 days before we had to be there anyway!
