dashiell goofing off while we wait and watch matthew during his diving class.
he's playing in the water polo goals, which are hanging on the wall.matthew's diving class

at least it's not a belly flop!

Oct 21, 2009

ready to head back to school (all bundled up) after staying home for 2 days sick.
no nap after coming home from school = dashiell passed out on the computer chair at 3:30.
i only let him sleep for 30 min.
no nap at the right time + short, truncated nap at 3:30 = dashiell passed out on the couch at 9:30.

we took the boys out to heritage park in their new wagon

dashiell had lots of fun going up the spiral staircase and then down the slide...

sheesh.
thank goodness they won!

so after breakfast, dashiell says that he is tired and wants to be a rectangle. HUH?
so he grabs a pillow and blanket (it's actually a rectangular table runner, i think) and plops down on the bench. he pretended to rest and sleep for, oh, a minute.


(doesn't he look innocent?!)

i put together the new wagon this morning, and i wanted to see what it looks like with the boys in it.

derek and i headed out to the rose bowl, in the blustering heat.
we lost to cal, which made it even worse.
(but don't we look happy to be finally going home??)
nana was out with the boys on a walk when we got home.

poor baby! (although you wouldn't know if by seeing how he's been acting)
