Bikes, Barnyards and Bombs

I included this picture because I have no recollection of taking it and, therefore, have to wonder which child was taking liberties with the Kodak. Strange subject matter: the stuff of life, my life anyway.
As the flu claimed its first victim (only girl), the rest of us made animals out of playdough and Q-tips. Jacob's rooster is on the right and my hedgehog is on the left.
My rooster, cow and hedgehog. Benjamin claims that they are his and that the cow is a pig (peeeg).
The Barnyard with one of the real animals in the background. (Yes, he is wearing his favourite and omni-present ladybug boots, and about to wreak havoc in the Q-tip box.)
The boys wearing their hazardous-material suits.
Ben refusing to pose.
Hannah watching the activities from her perch. Yes, that is total dejection on her face and her hand is indicating a sore tummy. She is fine today.
Sewers are always a source of interest.
See.
Joe has developed an obsession with bike helmets lately. He insists on wearing one whenever we go out to play. I have stopped fighting him and I now just plunk it on his head when we go out. I do wonder what people driving by think.
He does look cute in Tour-de-France gear. Come to think of it, he looks more like part of a bomb-defusing team.

When I read the title to this post, my brain parsed it as ``Bikes, Barnyards, and Boobs.'' Please forgive my disappointment at the pictures. Hope all is well in north Ontario.
