The Choke Hold

Whenever I tell Eli and Sadie to smile for a picture, Eli puts his arm around Sadie's neck and pulls her in really tight. It usually looks like he's choking her rather than hugging her, but I guess there is a fine-line between choking and hugging when you're 2.5! (Yes, this is a really great meal of chicken strips, french fries and corn. My attempts at getting the kids to eat really great nutritious meals all-the time has been replaced by "there's sort of a vegetable on their plate--not that they'll eat it" and "Didn't Regan say that Ketchup was a vegetable?".)The best thing about this picture is that the floor is actually picked up. And look at that book shelf. The books are actually neat and orderly. Eli picked out that outfit too-- all blue! He's really into stripes now, like his mother. The only underwear he'll wear that doesn't have Diego or a car on them has stripes. You should see his new Monster Truck underwear that grandma and grandpa Z. gave him. Have I told you about his new monster truck obsession. I didn't? I'll post about that next! He's officially been white-trashified!!
Did I post this one last week? I can't remember. Well, if I did, here it is again.
