Gone Fishin' with Mah Boy

Elijah and I finally went fishing today. Slimy worms, slimy fish, and slimy sunscreen are somehow very enjoyable when accompanied by endless shrieks of joy - admittedly some of which were mine. Thankfully noise really doesn't scare the fish. (As Elijah says, "Duh! They're under the water mom...") We caught between 15 and 20 fish - we lost count at some point and can't agree on the exact number.

Here is Elijah with his keepers... truthfully I caught some of the the ones pictured but the biggest fish is his. See if you can figure out which one it is... We threw the "small ones" back.

Elijah may have landed the big fish but I caught a 150 pound woman. By the thumb no less. Beat that, little boy!

I swear they only LOOK evil...

Crazy hair day took a new twist for me as I put what was supposed to be temporary red dye in my light and dark blonde boys' hair last month. (To the best of my recollection this was due to the dire need to appear like a Naruto character of some sort.) Even now, Elijah and Trevor are still slightly strawberry blonde - otherwise known as "pink." I am SUCH a cool mom. After seeing how the aforementioned evil picture turned out, I asked the boys to strike another pose for the camera. These are my personal favorites. Trevor LOVES his muscles and I can only apologize for the lack of sound for Elijah's demonstration of armpit fart prowess. It did not occur to me at the time to take a video.
