Day 2

Mimi and Papa sure pack in the activities to wear the boys out! They toured the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory in Brenham, Texas and then took the boys to an indoor bounce house that afternoon! In between they made rice crispie treats covered in white chocolate and sprinkles. Jealous yet??

Camp Mimi and Papa

The boys spent the weekend at Gigi and Dada's house and did all sorts of fun stuff like swim at Aunt Debbie's pool and go to the park. Gigi took the boys to Lake Charles on Monday to meet up with Mimi (it's the half way point from Mandeville and Houston). Here are the pictures from today's Camp Mimi and Papa. Think the boys (or the adults) had a good time? Lots of cupcakes, a trip to the pool, puzzles and legos........ I don't think they'll want to come home this weekend!

Happy early birthday to me

I went out with some friends to celebrate my 33rd birthday a night early. It was so much fun to hang out with people that I really and truly love, all in one place! Gigi and Dada came to get the boys for the weekend. I'm having surgery on Friday and will be out of commission for a while. Mimi and Papa will pick up the kids on Monday and keep them for a week. Here they are saying goodbye and getting all set to go. I told Theo that we're going to have to get serious about potty training when he gets home. Yeah, right.......... we'll see!!

Yoga

Theo loves going to childcare at the gym. Sometimes they take the little kids and do toddler yoga with them. Theo was eating it up!!! The picture is horrible b/c it was taken on my cell phone through a glass door, but you get the idea. How sweet is that??

Happy 4th!!

We celebrated America's birthday with some friends from Cedarwood :) Jack is in LOVE with Bekah and Theo and Sarah are chummy little look alikes! Our subdivision always has a great 4th of July party and this year was no exception. A random rainstorm didn't stop our fun. Jack is a fish this summer and I'm loving it! He and Bekah swam and swam some more. There was also a giant water slide but I didn't manage pictures of that :( The kids had a blast together at the pool and then at our house. Dave and Jason were comparing iPhone apps and had my friend Toscha and I cracking up. Hope you all had a happy 4th!!

We've been getting lots of rain from Hurricane Alex so I've been struggling with ways to keep the boys entertained indoors. We had art time this morning and used the art set Aunt Jen sent Jack several years ago. It's still in great shape after all these years! Jack painted a water color picture and Theo sewed in a corner. Why? He poured his juice all in his lunch plate (on purpose) and did not get to participate in art time. He's a mess.

Leapfrog

We got Jack this Leapfrog keyboard for his 3rd birthday and he briefly played with it. Jack has always been very "techy" and was typing on a keyboard well before we got him this system. Theo is always stuck watching and hasn't really developed any computer skills yet so we brought the Leapfrog system out today for him to try out. He is so thrilled to get to do something himself and Jack, of course, has to be near by to assist his brother. You should hear the conversations going on in the play room right now. Lots of "No, don't touch that mouse, Jack" and "but I've got to move it back for you" or "they want you to push the keyboard, Theo". Cracks me up!!
