When the garbage truck is close enough Spencer runs to the front door and yells for me to open it. As soon as he's on the front steps he does his ritual of first waving, until the garbage truck man waves back and then Spencer gives him a thumbs up. And to complete their hand signal exchange, Spencer gives him the horn signal and the ultra-cool garbage guy blows his horn.
For the past 9 months, Izabella was usually in school so she missed this. Today was hilarious because the kids retrieved their lawn chairs from the garage and we all camped out with our front row seats to witness the event.
Last month, we went to Dozer Days with my Dad (I still need to add those pics on a blog) and it only fueled his little obsession. They let the kids operate construction equipment and one of Spencer's favorite things was the dumping the garbage can. Check it out:
Tonight at the dinner table Izabella and Spencer kept making mechanical noises each time they picked up their cup and fork.
When I asked Spence what he was doing he responded that he had a robot arm. Izabella further clarified that they were garbage trucks lifting up the garbage cans.
So does that mean my cooking is garbage?
And just so Lucie isn't under represented, here is a pic of her showing off how big she is getting. Right now she takes great pride in her ability to sit all by herself.
Just look at how long her hair is getting! (The other two were baldies compared to that mop).If you look really closely you can also see those razor sharp teeth protruding on the bottom. (I know this first hand because the kid refuses to take a bottle.)

A dream come true EVERY Tuesday? (I deleted my previous comment because I said Thursday--oops, those T days you know)
Her map of red hair is darling Aimee!
That is so cute. I bet the garbage guy's favorite part of the day is when he gets to come by your house :)
