a few times a week i put out carrots and hummus to give them something to eat while i cook dinner. it keeps them from being grumpy because they are hungry and also makes them eat their veggies. my kids love hummus and carrots so i didnt think it odd when the house got completely quiet after i served them the veggies while i was cooking.
but when i looked over i shouted, "maggie what are you doing?!!?" she replied, "Abraham needs some lotion."
Not only was Abraham's shirt off and not only had he climbed onto the table but Maggie was gingerly covering his arms and torso with hummus!
and here is the hard truth about parenting: after i snapped these photos i let them go back to their thing so i could finish cooking. i mean, he didnt seem to mind as long as he was eating and the olive oil surely moisturized his skin right?

Woah, I didn't realize my earlier comment had posted; sorry to have done it twice! Anyway, I have a similar story for you. While dinner was being prepared last night my boys were emptying out the recycling all over the floor and playing with it, including empty cans of soda. Jimmy said, "You don't think that Isaac's fingers will get bloody, do you? He'll probably cry if that happens." So we left them to their happiness. Then when I was washing Isaac's hands to eat sure enough, they were bloody. But just a little :)
1. I love Maggie's long hair.
2. I love Abe's belly!
3. Great idea for an appetizer.
