It's Tuesday, and that means: Tuesday Lunch Crew!

Maggie keeps her distance from those crazy boys

and watches the action from her swing.

This is a rare moment: All three boys, sitting together in one place.

AND, no one is screaming or crying!
"Ben Mahhtin," "J-No," and "Baby b-Ryan"

This is how we found Ben in the pantry:

Sitting on a box of Cheerios, blanket at his feet,

stuffing his face with chocolate chips!

Maggie MOOOOOO! August 26, 2007
