Brooks and Chloe are buddies. When they want to be. If we can capture the moment on film, we do. The funny thing about his picture...it was taken this morning, before school and before our big adventure to "Minneapolis to go to the Waterpark". At this moment, we are still at home with a little boy who is very ill and will miss out on the adventure (until next time).

He doesn't look sick in this picture. Actually, he looks awesome and is even holding his Sister's hand. How quickly things change.

We went on a hike on the Superior Hiking Trail last week. It was very nice to be outside enjoying God's creation. Brooks would really like to live in the woods now. He asked several times if that was a possibility. He said to me, "Mom, I really want to live in the woods. And we can park our van nearby, so in case we need to go watch a show (referring to the TV) or something we can."

Brooks used his wood as a gun. Imagine that.

Chloe had to wear the Vikings hat. She grunted (remember she doesn't talk--that's another story) until we put it on her. As long as she was representing the Vikings, she was all good. Greg thought it made for "not so cute" pictures, but I think she looks like a little ragamuffin. I love it.

Have I mentioned that my kids like to fight over things? One of the things they like to fight for it Mommy. I could pretend this picture is of us loving each other and having a bonding time before bed, but that wouldn't be fair. Actually, Chloe was getting some snuggles and Brooks wasn't having that. This is the result of two kids fighting for their Mommy.
