Mischievous Luke - Part II

Got an e-mail saying that Luke isn't all that mischievous....don't let the dimples fool you!  Worst part is Luke knows his dimples may be able to get him out of things.

Luke has this habit of standing on the arm of the chair to turn the lights on, or lay on the arm of the chair to watch television.  We've been on him (standard butt-chewing, spankings, etc.) to knock it off, but it hasn't taken yet.

Sarah sent this picture to me a few weeks back, she was coming upstairs after getting off the bike early one morning and this was how/where she found Lukie.  Notice the confidant smile, notice the dimples....

Whatever you say, Luke certainly has a mischievous streak in him!

Mischievous little Lukie

So a few weeks ago, some odd pictures showed up on the computer and was automatically synced to my phone (I have since turned that feature off).  It took a minute or two to figure out who was taking the pictures, pictures like...

And...

Sometimes, there were clues like dinosaurs to the picture takers identity....

And sometimes the kitty made it to the pictures....

Not sure what was going on in some of the pictures...

Well, Luke has been using the Photo Booth app on the computer to take pictures of himself when no one is watching.  He's taken 60+ pictures on the computer and sometimes he has a partner, his sister, Lex...

The app is nice little app that can take decent pictures, here's an example that was not taken by Luke.

Luke hasn't just been taking pictures with the computer - he once took 30+ pictures with Sarah's phone (I want to say it was much more than 30) and Maddy's iPod went missing for awhile, when it was found it was filled with pictures and videos.  Here is an example of a video found on the iPod...

Yes, with Luke around, be careful with your belongings....

Luke's School Project

So Luke came home from school with a little project, instructions for the project were:

We are sending home snowmen for you to create as a family.  Pick your favorite season and activity.  Decorate your snowman and write a little story about them.  Return them to school to be on display when you are finished.

Since showing an artistic side is one the many things that I'm completely useless at, Sarah helped Luke decorate his snowman.

Of course Luke decided that his snowman would play with Dinosaurs, they were able to use Luke's dinosaur stencils to draw in the snowman's playmates....

Luke named his snowman Lovey, so of course it needed a few hearts to be drawn on the belly...

Luke borrowed some tape with diamonds on it from Maddy.  Sarah suggested that the tape be the snowman's belt, but when she looked next he was attempting to place it somewhere else...

Sarah:  "Luke, where are you putting the diamonds?"
Luke:  "his boobs."
Sarah:  "No, we're not putting diamond tape on his boobs."
Luke:  "Okay, no boobs."

Boobs, butts, and belly buttons....body parts Luke likes....

Here's the finished product...

The Olympics

The Olympics were great....we watched a lot of events and rooted for a variety of countries (ex:  Luke  rooted for China).  Kieran decided he's going to be a ski jumper in the future....good luck buddy!  Luke enjoyed watching people crash while skiing or snowboarding.  While Lex was just upset most of the time because it wasn't Dora on TV.

Me?  I was able to catch up on a lot of sleep that I'd been missing lately....while watching the evening broadcast, it wasn't unusual to take a little nap (30-60 minutes) before waking and continuing to watch until late.  

The best part was sometimes the kids took naps with me....it was usually Luke.

Now that the Olympics are over...I'm back to not enough sleep...Lex gets to watch Dora...the boys are fighting...so the world is apparently back to normal again.

I'm going to miss moments like these in the near future....
