Gavin gives me a lesson on "Selfies"

Gavin grabbed my shades on a shopping trip and this little ham taught me how to take a perfect "selfie".

 

Halloween 2013- Word Up!

This year Ethan was VERY opinionated! He HAD to be "Word Girl," a superhero from PBS with quite the vocabulary. I was sold when he begged for Gavin to be his "sidekick", a "Captain Huggy Face" (her pet monkey that doesn't talk but flies around fighting crime. This show isn't exactly current, a Netflix gem, so I got my first crack at home made costumes.

Here's a frame of reference as virtually no one knows who they were dressed as! Didn't bother them one bit as Ethan shouted "Word Up" running down the sidewalk with his loyal sidekick toddling behind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then he'll need me to fall asleep in his dorm room of course ;-)

Mommy's Monkeys

It started at the playgrounds...

then continued at the little kids gym...

We signed up Ethan up for a REAL gymnastics class.

 

And I installed a chin up bar shoulder height on our playroom doorframe.

Works better than the door handles and towel bar he was trying to use!

Life is better with more branches now!

New neighborhood playground!

Let's play!

Can you BELIEVE Ethan's moves here!?

"Mo'!"

Gavin won't do baby swings anymore since big bro doesn't!

It took a lot of misses to get a hit!

This weekend I took the boys to a department photo studio for some quick brotherly love pics. There were so many bad pictures!! And the funniest part was which pictures they "enhanced" to put in highlight collages for me to buy!

It took this shot:

Took this picture:

Before we could get one of him seated:

Took this shot:

Before he'd look at the camera:

And it took these gems:

To get the WINNER!

(How cute is that though, yeah it's going on my wall!)

The photographer exclaimed, "Your boys move really fast don't they!?"

Um...yeah they do!

I know they are used to parents wanting to preserve EVERY memory of their precious snowflakes, but they looked SHOCKED I didn't want to pay an extra $80 for a cd with every image. Ha! I see these out takes every day, I went to them for a winner. Good thing I used a Groupon :)
