You Can Only Hope to Contain Him

Last week I got up from my desk and went upstairs to get a drink and see how everyone was doing. When I turned the corner into the dining room, I was greeted by this:



Jane was raking in the front yard and needed to keep Liam in the den, and she wasn't messing around.

Ironically, later this same day he charged at one of the windows in the front room with his fists out and smashed it. Miraculously, as with the other window he smashed, he was unhurt.

Uh oh, broken

As if dislocating his elbow and getting a staple in the head weren't enough, it seems that Liam also found time to bust through the front window. Hooray. Thanks Liam. I guess that is the last time he is going to squeeze between the couch and the front window. Oh wait, he doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes...

Mom and dad sure are having a fun time paying for this stuff.

They say that children are priceless? I am thinking that I could put a price on this one... think Liam, tied to a stake in the front yard, with a FREE sign around his neck. Any takers???? I am pretty sure nobody in this neighborhood would do it.

Mr. Chips Strikes Again!

First Pool Day of the summer

It was finally hot enough to put up a splash pool on the deck and let the kids play. They thought it was a blast and had a great time getting in, getting out, getting in, getting out...you get the idea. After a while Liam became disgusted with his ill-fitting swimsuit and decided to go au naturale. You would have thought he would have been extra protective of his body now that he was "free" but it didn't slow down his daredevil nature at all.

Mr. Liam Bean

Three Knots!

Liam re-enacting a scene from one of our favorite movies "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen". He actually does an AWESOME Berthold, I'll just need to get it on video.

Sicko Kiddos

This is what we have been doing for the whole of 2008 so far. Lying on the couch and being sick. We began the year with vomit and moved on to serious head colds with phlegm and then we went through super high fevers with headache. Hooray. So far it has been a great year!!! We will update when we actually do something.

HIDING!

Here's Liam in his hidey hole, which also happens to have all the potato chips and pretzels and fruit snacks.

Liam doesn't need no stinking sled!

Here's Liam running down the sledding hill, where he would normally just fall on his face and then get up and try to run off. He didn't want to use the sleds. He was very naughty.

Cheese!

Just a little pre-Christmas picture for everyone.

Liam's Jeep Ad

Jeep used a picture of Liam with the remote control Jeep he got from Hummy for Christmas. It appeared in the NY Times, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today on August 13th and 24th 2007. See if you can find him!

Original picture of Liam and his Jeep.

Happy Birthday Liam!

Prepare to have your sides split
