these two....

our kids are kind of wild monkeys, and it always seems like they're doing parkour or free running or free range tumbling when we're just trying to get down the sidewalk or get dressed in the morning. parkour is pretty awesome, so the other day we showed a video of parkour and tumbling to the kids. might not have been a good idea, but man, they thought it was pretty cool. james said they look like monkeys, and he's totally right.

but seriously, check this out!


immediately after watching the video, ramona did a cartwheel/round off from the sofa to the floor (we have rules and she knew she was breaking them). the next morning, i was awoken to the sound of "mommy! mommy! come see my moves!" and found her in the hallway at the top of the stairs in this position:


so i guess they are a little impressionable, and not totally aware of safety and risks. no more videos for a while.

in other news, ramona is all scheduled for kindergarten in the fall (!!),


and these two are pregnant.
