Octopus Hotdogs and Rock Throwing

Things are slow around here, so this is random post day. :) Since the kids are older (especially J), they have become a little more picky in their food choices. I still refuse to be a short-order cook, so for the most part they still eat whatever I decide to put in front of them :)
However, on this particular day, Matt got creative with lunch to help the kids eat faster. He made them some Octopus hotdogs! hahaha. The kids thought they were great. The only problem is that whenever we make cute food for J (like, say Mickey Mouse pancakes), she refuses to eat it because it's too cute.

T did eat some legs off before we snapped a picture.

J took this picture by herself. In her mind, I think this hotdog was alive....... but it made me laugh!

Then today, we decided to take a trip up to a cute little park with a lake the kids could throw rocks into. Throwing rocks is their favorite pasttime. I just thought this was cute of Ty.

I love that J and Ty are becoming good friends, it's so cute. Here's proof...

And this is just a funny video. This is pretty much the response I get to everything now a days. Ty, what are you doing? Where are your shoes? Where should we go play? etc.
