Our team in ACTION

Tate on defense...
(football)

Jack on offense...
(scoring a touchdown no less)
Bill as crowd-control...
In the above sequence, Bill is administering "the tool". This is a pseudo form of discipline whereupon he uses his index finger (the tool) to tickle the attitude out of a child. I love it because it reduces what could have been a long and drawn out discipline process to giggles in a matter of seconds. And voila! The attitude is gone.

The cheer squad...
(claps)

(lifts)

(poses)

(tricks)

(splits)

The dance team...
(a lot of slow dancing takes place in our kitchen. Not the most romantic place,
but that's just the way it is)

The dutiful mascot...
Mom as a (bad) pitcher...
(but a pretty good multi-tasker)

But the very best kind of action involves laughter...
Kisses...
And hugs...
Now if only I would put more action into washing windows and other household chores...

Awww... love each and every one! What is the point of washing windows when you have kids and animals? As soon as you do it they put their hands, face and feet all over them! :)

I think you prioritize your time well. Windows just get dirty again.

BTW, lifts are illegal for cheerleaders in this state. I'm thinking your team may fact some sanctions. ;)

That is one shaggy yorkie/malti/poo! I'm just sayin'! (But he still looks cute.)

Love, love your story in pictures. :) Such fun and sweetness.
I don't think I've ever washed a window. No way, man.
