Smoothie mustache

The other night I made a berry Julius type drink to go with dinner. Luke loved it. After he had been at it for a minute we all looked over and found this cute little smiling face:

What was quite impressive about Luke's feat was that for the rest of the meal Mikey kept trying to give himself a mustache and running to the mirror to check it out only to be disappointed at the lack of any 'stache whatsoever. (And then at the very end of the meal Lance even finally admitted his surprise at his own clean face as apparently he had been working on his own smoothie mustache through the whole meal--like sons like father ;)

The teacher and the student...

Recently Mikey has been quite enamored with telling time. He has a couple of watches that he can't live without (and he is also not allowed to turn on a show or wake us--in theory--before 7:30) So Lance has been working with Mikey on telling time. He is still a little young for it so he's more learning how to state what the time is even if he doesn't know what it means.

So the other morning after Lance had talked to him about time again he found Mikey laying on the floor here in front of the cable box clock explaining his recently acquired knowledge to Luke.

Luke was diligently listening--as he usually does when his big brother is trying to help him. So cute.

We were not actually privy to the subject matter of this teaching moment, but no doubt it was of vital importance...

....or vital mischief. They're a couple of little boys--mischief is to be expected.
