These Kids Cannot Be Kept Under Control

This week was more usual craziness at the Lee home. Justin is busy with school and had the opportunity to see visiting U.S. Supreme Court Justice Scalia. It was definitely an experience to hear him lecture and we thought it was kind of funny that he saw a Supreme Court Justice the semester after he finished law school. Bridget has joined the Community Orchestra here and has been very impressed with their conductor and the great music they're playing. Other than that she's just trying to keep both kids in tact. We took this picture to try and document Ian's two injuries of the week. Earlier in the week he fell off the curb and skidded his forehead on the pavement. Ouch! And, if that didn't hurt enough, a few days later he fell and chipped a small bit of the bottom of one of his front teeth! Poor kid. Basically Bridget runs after him during the day just waiting around for accidents and...
messes! He was unattended for less than two minutes and she found him having a delicious snack of mascara. Luckily it wasn't waterproof or it would have taken a lot longer to clean up. At least he's pleased with himself!

Rachel loves to "do" her own hair and here are some pictures of how she went to the store one day. Needless to say, Bridget has no self-respect when it comes to the appearance of her children.
At least we gave our cashier a serious laugh!
During quiet time, Rachel set up a little workstation for her favorite pet, Miss Tiger.
She was so proud of her work, she insisted on taking her own picture - voila!

For preschool this week, the kids were learning about feelings. Here they are showing different emotions in a mirror. They crack me up - you'll have to guess what they're demonstrating in each one. Thanks for the fun lesson, Tera!
