What the heck are these for?

Theo absolutely hates to eat from a spoon........ even good stuff like pudding or yogurt. You literally have to shove the first bite into his mouth to convince him that it's something good. He just likes finger foods better. I tried giving him a spoon to see if he would take a stab at self-feeding, but no dice. He was like "what is this?".

Similarly, I got little toddler markers for him to draw with and he looked at me like I was crazy. He could have cared less. He will use a crayon, but apparently the little markers left something to be desired for him.

Pizza for all tastes

We had pizza night tonight for dinner. My Mom's club did this a few months ago and it was a big hit with the boys. I got all of the stuff pre-made and had Jack put the toppings on his pizza. We had to be creative since we were still using the mini fridge and only had Mexican cheese :) Bet you can't pick out my pizza!

Twelfth Night

Mardi Gras season has officially begun! January 6th is 12 days after Christmas and coincides with Epiphany (don't even know what that is) and is referred to as Twelfth Night. There are a couple of small Mardi Gras parades that roll tonight, kicking off the season of king cakes, beads and debauchery!! Jack and I made some purple, green and gold paper chains to hang around the house. I even put out a couple of Mardi Gras-inspired decorations! Dave and I did so much organizing over Christmas break that I have room to store these types of things now.

Here is a picture of the boys from this morning. I had to make jambalaya for a church meeting this morning and the boys were watching tv before school. Jack had his arm around Theo so sweetly that I just had to take a picture of it!

Camera help

Dave and I are looking to get DSLR camera and would love to get some feedback from those that have one. Shoot me an email and tell me what you have and what you like/don't like about it. Thanks!!!

Driving already

Gigi and Dada got Jack the Cars Wii game for Christmas and he played it for the first time tonight. He's a terrible driver! Good thing Lightning McQueen didn't total himself every time Jack crashed him into a wall. This game is really nice for Jack though because he can drive around the town and not have to stay on track. Just aimless joyriding, er crashing, for Jack!

Naked time!

Theo loves to have naked time after his baths. We never really let Jack have too much naked time (he was a pee-er), but Theo has proven himself to be trustworthy so far. Look at that cute booty!!

Jack's time with Mimi and Papa

Dave is on his way right now to meet up with Mimi and Papa in Lake Charles, the half way point for us (Houston and Nawlins). Here are some pictures that Mimi sent me from Jack's stay with them. He played Grandvonnie's piano, went to the zoo, painted a snowman at a pottery place and just generally had fun! Thanks for doing such fun things with Jack, Mimi and Papa!
