The Bailey Brag

 He puts his pencil behind his ear like “the guys at Cinco De Mayo do”…he says. Ha!

Wheat is hard at work making some very critical decisions…

So I click together these blocks….to form shapes….and MAGIC, Harvard, here I come!!

Lake is all smiles with his math. He is soooo big, you know, with his numbers and his mini pencil!! He is a first class Kindergartener and there isn’t a soul on our street who doesn’t know this!

  So after several colds and stomach bugs we finally decided we all felt up to starting school today! We began with math and were having so much fun it’s the only subject we did all morning. Wheat is now in first grade. He is showing me the six hundred and sixty six people who live in the houses on decimal street. Such an evil genius!! Ha! Must be nice to do math in your underwear!!

What a funny scene…

they are in swimsuits,

soaking wet, in a kayak….

but where is the water???

They don’t care…

Captain River Sol has turned 2…a couple of weeks ago…but nonetheless entered into his new world of all things “big boy”! He is quite the comedian here wearing a pair of extremely undersized opticals from Mr. Potato Head purposely since, you cannot see it in the pic, but he is looking at a book. An intelligent comedian! Ha! He also, since the title of our blog is “The Bailey Brag”, decided a couple of weeks before his birthday to potty train himself and is now in “big undies” full time. No phone calls or e-mails, please, as I had absolutely NOTHING to do with this so I cannot offer up a bit of advice as to how this happened. He just apparently decided he was too good to let his brother’s have one up on him so he took the plunge and hasn’t turned back. I don’t quite know what to do without having a load of cloth diapers to wash every other day. It is still very surreal to me at this point so we are keeping it on the down low…well, until now I guess since I have posted it here. So, enter a new chapter in mine and Jason’s lives as well not being pregnant, nursing a child or diapering a child for the first time in over 7 years…wow…typing that was strange.

 One of the many we planted this year but the very first to show her beautiful smile…

The boyz, standing in front

of our 8 foot tall sunflowers.

Yes, we pick tomatoes in our jammies!

Here’s a pic of a little drifter we had visit us this morning while we were out picking tomatoes for lunch. The boys loved checking him out and when he had enough of us he darted back into the zinnias.

I guess it’s time we join the geek squad (as my brother often refers to himself) and start a blog…after all, ‘everybody’s doin’ it’. We might be one of the few left without one. So, here’s a little glimpse into the life of a Bailey in case any of you were curious. You may laugh out loud (as we often do) or you may be very bored. Who knows…all I know is I have hilarious stories to tell all the time and never have the time to write them down so this will be my new stage. Hope you laugh!!
