Me: “Preston, what was your high point today?”
Preston: “Dinner! I LOOOVE Pepperoni!”
Me: “And what was your low point?”
Preston: “Olivia breaking my car tracks…”
Me: “Sorry to hear that! Olivia, what was your high point?”
Olivia: “Breaking Preston’s car tracks!”
At least she’s honest. I was laughing too hard (to myself) to get her low point. :)

Easter pictures of the littlest siblings. Let’s just say that this image took fewer tries than the Christmas portrait. Barely. But ain’t they just the cutest? Olivia likes to smile for the camera (daddy?) more than her brother, so there are more in-focus shots of her this time. :)

One way I was able to get them to pose (a bit) was to let them know that if they let dad take some pictures out front they could go change clothes and go on an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard. That seemed to do the trick.
Olivia decided to open, explore, and play with the first egg she found. Intrepid Egg hunter Preston just zipped all over the backyard filling his basket with eggs. I think the final count was Preston: 21, Olivia: 3. Having mom stand in front of a couple and maneuver Olivia into place was instrumental in bringing Olivia’s egg count to more than 1. A good time was had by all.

Every once in a while both Olivia and Preston are smiling at the same time. Nice to see!
But it doesn’t always last. Olivia tends to like to “poke the Tiger”. Sometimes the Tiger pokes back, other times he’s stoic.

The downstairs toilet has been either blocked or *very* slow flushing for the past few weeks: Preston flushed “a box” down it. Hmm.
I’ve been using a plunger periodically, but mostly we haven’t used it much. We figured it would eventually disintegrate. It wasn’t improving so the plumber came by today and had to remove the toilet to get to the blockage.
The Altoids tin was definitely not going to disintegrate (soon).
