Happy 8th!!

Dave and I went out to eat tonight to celebrate 8 happy years of marriage :) It was such a fun dinner and we just laughed and talked. In other news, Theo got "High Note" of the day for participating the most in music class (the child loves to sing, so no surprise) and Jack got camper of the day yesterday at Kehoe summer camp. The kids are LOVING day camp and are making friends and just generally having a blast!!!

Baby Mark

My friend Betsy had baby Mark almost 2 weeks ago and I wanted to capture some of his newborn sweetness :) I went over this morning and Betsy and I did our best to get some pictures of him for his birth announcement. Here are three that are my favorite. He's so sweet (and big- 9 lbs 7 oz) and has a dimple on the left. I have a soft spot for dimples :)

Cleaning up

Jack has been a HUGE help to me since he came back home on Saturday night. He's been earning an allowance now for several weeks by doing chores like feeding the cat, getting the mail/paper for me, but now he's having to pick up some of the slack with my chores too :) Theo made a huge mess with breakfast so Jack got out the sweeper vac and cleaned it right up! My future daughter-in-law can thank me :)

Start of summer camp

The boys are both going to Kehoe-France summer camp for two weeks. It's a big day for Theo since he's never been old enough to attend anything until this summer. He's wearing Jack's old camp uniform so it sure was sweet going through the piles and finding these little shorts (kinda snug on Mr. Theodore) that Jack wore when he was 2 & 3. I think Theo even has Jack's old teacher, Ms. Kelly, as his camp teacher. You just have to laugh at these boys. I get the most random faces when I have them pose for a picture.

Fun with the camera

The boys are home and I'm trying to juggle not doing too much lifting or twisting with two active boys. So I got creative. I had the boys build lego structures and then when they were ready for me to see it, I'd pass off the camera for them to snap a pic and show me (saved me a trip in the other room, countless times). This is what they came back with....... priceless!

To Infinity and Beyond!

On the final day of Camp Mimi and Papa, the boys got to see NASA and learn all about space, rockets and astronauts! Jack LOVES anything technical so this was right up his alley. I've been steering him into the career path of aerospace engineer (like my friend, Carrie) so maybe this will spark an interest! Ha. The boys wrapped up the day at Cici's pizza and got their faces painted.

Thanks Mimi and Papa (and previously, Gigi and Dada) for a wonderful week, filled with such fun things. My boys are about an hour out and I can't wait to see them!

Day 3

Day 3 of Camp Mimi and Papa and they did not disappoint! The boys went to see a movie and then played at the mall for a bit. Then they had some puzzle and wrestling time (always a hit!) before meeting up with Grandvonnie for dinner :)
