Total Boy & Losing Teeth

Audrey talked Sam into rolling around in what she calls his bro-hawk. He will literally do anything to gain her favor!
Though, I must admit . . . he does look a little menacing at the park when he commands heavy machinery sporting his bro-hawk.
The tire swing was always my nemesis as a child. Just watching them swing around made me nauseous.
Here Audrey is with her first lost tooth! So exciting. Tears were certainly shed, but in the end . . .
. . . a little ice cream numbed the pain. I'm not sure how I survived without Costco as a kid. Our kids absolutely love it. I suppose the pint full of frozen yogurt helps. Though Sam tends to complain that it's too cold (notice his hand placement). Definitely not bro-hawk toughness there Sam.
To prove that he is still "boy-tough" he's never seen a mud-puddle that he isn't willing to play in. Please ignore the "sewer" sign to the right of the picture. I'm sure it was a misplaced stake in the ground.
Nor has he seen an object he isn't willing to throw. Thankfully he can take out his aggression on the rocks at a near by creek.
And yes, every mud puddle must be tested for depth. When we go to the store we literally have to scout out where the puddles are as he cannot physically walk by one without stepping in it. Sooooo boy.
During Snowmageddon 2012 the neighborhood kids (1) built a snow fort and (2) armed it with a bazillion snow balls for the "kids vs. parents" snow ball fight. They were certainly more prepared than we were!
In an effort to warm up after the battle, Audrey set up a little "fort movie". Thin hair + cold dry weather = static electricity. She's like a little science experiment. But kisses with a little shock are soo worth it.
