Cheeky Fellow

Matt and I arrived at Walmart last Saturday, only to find that Alex had quickly applied his war paint to both cheeks before we could protest and have him scrub it off. Oh well, at least we fit in at Walmart.
Later that night I told him to go get in the bathtub and while walking past the bathroom, I did a double take. He apparently had had the time to graffiti his other set of cheeks as well. I almost could not hold in the laughter. I found Matt and told him, "Don't laugh, but go check out Alex in the tub." He was dying. Of all the available canvas of skin, who pulls their pants out to try and jam a marker down at that awkward angle? What a strange bird we have. I was extremely tempted to take a picture, but I didn't want it to come back and haunt him for life.


Also, he swallowed his first lost tooth amongst some apple , but thankfully there was another loose one to follow and this one did not go down the hatch.

You should have taken the picture. I'm sure you will want it as leverage at some point, being the cheeky fellow that he is. :)

the kid is an artist, a pretty funny one I might add...and actually if you think about it the backside is probably one of your best options for a canvas as far as the body goes! what a cute kid. here here on the water in Pollock Pines, delicious and truly a beautiful place. also here here on January lasting forever, this month just drags it's feet every year. I'm glad you guys got to go home, that really makes it feel like Christmas.

Oh man, kids are funny. Your blog always cracks me up! I loved your comments on the good water in Cali too! People think I'm a freak because I talk about how good our water was up in the hills. And every time we go to visit, my family is like, Charla can I get you some water??? Yes Please! They used to always be offering us sodas and juice and drinks and we were like, no we just want water, we want to enjoy it while we're here :) Now it's like the running joke :)
