There are a lot of stories here.
There is yet another bikini belly shot. Oh and a couple more too.
There is a picture of Dexter and Chase having some breakfast at the park above the ocean while Mariel was at her Yoga class on Saturday.
There is a picture of the boys tugging the wagon to the Movies by Moonlight party. There’s one of the boys wagoning and Mariel smelling some overflowing park trash can.
Two shots from giamongus landfill we had to take the minivan too because our trash guy decided not to take some of our stinkiest trash ever. I don’t blame him.

In order to get Chase interested in some counting exercises I went to get some Cheerios for the 1-5 flash cards. Gotta get the older kids involved too so I figured I’d give Dex something to think about while I was off to the kitchen.

“Hey Dex, i want to get one cheerio for each dot on these cards 1 through 5. How many do I have to get?”

I was ready to walk away and let him think about it but before I had taken a step….

“Fifteen”

He had barely looked up from the YMCA camp brochure. It shook me a bit. I had to double check because it was too easy.

“How did you get that?”

“Well, I started with 5, then 4+1 is 5 and that leaves 2+3… 3 times 5 is fifteen.”

Recording of his explaination
