Wizard of Oz

We've been listening to the Funky Kidz cd that Katie gave Theo for his birthday and they have a couple of songs from the Wizard of Oz on there. Jack has been asking questions about what those songs are about and I thought he should find out for himself! He sat and watched the entire thing and loved it. He got so excited when the two songs came on (Somewhere over the rainbow and If I only had a brain) that his entire face just lit up. So precious.

Cousin Cameron and I walked a 5k today that benefited MD Anderson cancer research. The kids weren't exactly cooperative and we came in dead last. Even old people passed us up. We've decided to ditch the kids for the next one and redeem ourselves!

Blake's party

My friend Frances invited us to her son Blake's 2nd birthday party today. It was at Toddlearn so all of the kids had such a fun time. Theo walked all over the place (!!!!) and really had a ball, no pun intended. He ate cake, drank a Caprisun and just generally had fun. Happy 2nd Birthday Blake!! Thanks for the fun time Frances and Lance :)

Hanging out

Theo has been on quite a tear lately. He's pried open his sippy cup lids twice now and dumped milk all on himself, the carseat and the kitchen floor. Needless to say, I've been less than pleased with him! Here is a pic of what he decided to do when I was talking on the phone to Aunt Jen yesterday. He's been doing so well with telling me when he's "all done" that this is becoming rare, thank goodness. After this little episode, we headed over to Jack's friend Paige's house. Our friends Tank, Luke, Juliet and Scott were all there. We had a fun time and actually at dinner at 5:30 pm and not 4 yesterday!!!

Going, going, gone

This stupid time change is seriously driving me batty. Theo wants to eat at 4 pm and by 4:30, he's p*ssed. I broke down and gave him a snack this afternoon before heading out to Weds. night dinner. Obviously it did not go over well.

Old friends

Ms. Theresa (my friend), Aidan and Alyssa came over for dinner last night. Dave left for a 10 day stretch (lots of sales meetings right now) and I'm trying to stay busy, and therefore, sane. Jack and Alyssa truly are the best of friends. They have been friends since Jack was a mere month old! Aidan and Theo are becoming little buddies themselves. :)

Daddy lowered the "high swing" today and here is Jack pushing his brother. I can kick back and read a magazine ;)

Renaissance Fest

We enjoyed the nice Fall weather and took the boys to our local Renaissance Festival this afternoon. We've gone the past 3 or so years and this year they added a bunch of cool things. Jack had so much fun this year! He's much more adventurous than he's been in the past years and old enough now to really enjoy the games. Jack went up on stage to assist Jamison the Juggler and was so funny. He threw Jamsion some bowling pins and then did a little dance for the crowd. Theo was banned from all things fun since all the signs said "No Infants"... no twirling swings, no horse rides, no knife throwing. Poor guy. Maybe next year. He was stuck in the stroller yet again and that was so much to push in gravel, let me tell you. Here are a couple of videos of Jack riding the wooden horse and the twirling swing. If you live in this area, seriously go check it out this month!!!
