When it stopped coming down in sheets, I grabbed my camera and ventured out in search of some rain drop photos.<br /><br /><br />01.23.2010 | three-wheeling<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4393288413/" title="01.23.2010 | three-wheeling by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4037/4393288413_2f0fbac683_o.jpg" width="450" alt="01.23.2010 | three-wheeling" /></a><br />James on the neighbor's big wheel...

I took lots of photos, but this one of John feeding a goat was one of my favorites.<br /><br /><br />01.31.2010 | hi there<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4394056098/" title="01.31.2010 | hi there by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2763/4394056098_845ea5f4a7_o.jpg" width="450" alt="01.31.2010 | hi there" /></a><br />just Peter :)Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077393210272884368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541363341686824948.post-56943568486027453522010-01-21T23:25:00.000-08:002010-01-21T23:39:58.074-08:00Day 2001.20.2010 | monkey feet<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4295040684/" title="01.20.2010 | monkey feet by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/4295040684_0da1f2105f_o.jpg" width="400" alt="01.20.2010 | monkey feet" /></a><br /><br />James found an old baby outfit that looks like a monkey suit and has been wearing it around for the past couple of days. Since it's only 12 month sized however, it doesn't exactly fit. :)<br /><br />Other photos from the day:<br /><br />monkey boy<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4295045730/" title="monkey boy by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4068/4295045730_552783daca_o.jpg" width="400" alt="monkey boy" /></a><br />Here's the front of James' monkey suit. As you can see, the fit leaves a bit to be desired. When he tried to get both his arms and legs in the proper holes, I had to take it away from him. Too bad they don't make things like this in 5T; he'd be in little boy heaven!<br /><br />diddle diddle dumpling<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4294302159/" title="diddle diddle dumpling... by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4006/4294302159_db889bf945_o.jpg" width="400" alt="diddle diddle dumpling..." /></a><br />Peter has the funny habit of taking his sock off, only one, and usually the right foot.

How she got out of the backyard I have no idea, but she'd apparently been hit by a car.

He would give me a big old smooch on the cheek, or nose and then laugh like it was the funniest thing he'd ever done. I wish I could bottle up these moments to relive when the boys are grown and gone!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077393210272884368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541363341686824948.post-59874355030401941612010-01-18T13:59:00.000-08:002010-01-18T14:03:06.032-08:00Day 1501.15.2010 | go away<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4285501949/" title="01.15.2010 | go away by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/4285501949_1b2306e73e_o.jpg" width="400" alt="01.15.2010 | go away" /></a><br /><br />I went into the boys' room at 9 o'clock to see if they were up yet, but they weren't. I thought John looked so sweet sleeping that I crept back out to get my camera. He woke up just as I was taking his picture though, and to say that he was grumpy would be a major understatement.

It's a good thing I did; later that afternoon he brought it to me in pieces. I guess one of the boys must have decided to disassemble it permanently.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077393210272884368noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541363341686824948.post-46783743066988983402010-01-03T21:00:00.000-08:002010-01-06T08:16:46.777-08:00Day 301.03.2010 . let's party<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4244460439/" title="01.03.2010 by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/4244460439_aecae65c47_o.jpg" width="400" alt="01.03.2010" /></a><br /><br />Peter finally figured out how to blow out... every time he made this little party favor inflate, he'd let out a giggle and stomp his feet in glee!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077393210272884368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541363341686824948.post-15453311554909153142010-01-02T21:00:00.000-08:002010-01-06T08:15:07.573-08:00Day 201.02.2010 . getting organized<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4243759622/" title="01.02.2010 by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2741/4243759622_e00471d43c_o.jpg" width="400" alt="01.02.2010" /></a><br /><br />While we were gone, we had our closet redone so I got to come home to a much more organized clothes storage system. Having a new-found love for scarves, I was very excited to finally have a place to keep them, so I took a quick photo while I was unpacking everything.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077393210272884368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3541363341686824948.post-38059918734228792622010-01-01T21:00:00.000-08:002010-01-06T08:15:25.702-08:00Day 101.01.2010 . halfway home<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/myboycrazylife/4242968583/" title="2010 Day 1 by {jessica pranaitis}, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4242968583_011548bf46_o.jpg" width="400" alt="01.01.2010" /></a><br /><br />We spent New Year's Day in the car, driving home from CO after our halfway stop in Utah. The snow lasted for well over half the trip and I rolled down the window and snapped some photos while we were cruising along the highway.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12077393210272884368noreply@blogger.com0
