The leaves are finally fully out on our block. I was enjoying the moment, so I put together a quick photosphere.

The neighbours have a trampoline, which is a huge hit. Nate and James were jumping on it, and the neighbour kids were teaching them how to do "bum drops" (jumping as high as you can and landing on your bum). Naturally they thought this was hilarious. So much so that James has even taken to doing it on our hardwood floors. It hurts just watching him, but he thinks it's incredibly funny.

Nate was pulling out every excuse not to be in bed yesterday.

Nate was pulling out every excuse not to be in bed yesterday. First he needed a drink. Then he was acting on James' behalf ("James needs cuddles from Mum"). Then he needed to go to the bathroom.

After going to the bathroom he comes into our bedroom. I'm already internally groaning, what know?

"I'm going to close this door (points to our door) to keep things quiet so I can go to sleep." (Brilliant plan, Nate) "If you need to get out (demonstrates by grabbing the doorknob) you can you just turn this to open the door." (Thanks. Good to know we can leave our own room if we need to.)

Not sure why I didn't foresee the inevitable when we told James he was eating a "chicken drumstick".

Not sure why I didn't foresee the inevitable when we told James he was eating a "chicken drumstick". In the future they will be referred to as simply "chicken legs".
