Our week



Theo has really gotten in to the computer lately. He's navigating the mouse and clicking with ease (finally) so I introduced him to Starfall and Disney.com and he's in heaven. There is a computer in his classroom at school so maybe he'll take turns there as well :)

Jack had to write an apology note to his bus driver yesterday for being disruptive on the bus. Three energetic, wiggly and silly boys sitting together does not a good situation make. So now Jack has a new seat and hopefully I will not have anymore chats with the bus driver like I had yesterday. This mom stuff is hard work sometimes :p

What's old is new






Uncle Dane and Aunt Debbie got Jack this really nice Black & Decker tool work bench. It's been stationed in his dormer closet "aka The Bat Cave" until today! I moved it into Theo's room since he's taken a recent interest in tools and he's beyond thrilled! That's the joy of having two boys...... what one outgrows, the other is just getting in to!!!

Argentina surprises






Dada went on a business trip to Argentina a few weeks ago and brought back soccer outfits for the boys. He got the sizes just right and Theo wore his new uniform to Soccer Tots this Saturday! They had fun kicking the ball around in the back yard on Thursday. Poor Dave was passing a kidney stone and they had to bring by some medicine for him.

Here is Jack's school picture from this year. I told him to flash dimples (instead of a spaced out, fake smile like he'll sometimes produce). I secretly love getting to spike his hair, which he NEVER lets me do.

Orange Beach 2010











I took Jack out of school early on Thursday and jetted over to Alabama for the weekend. He had a records day on Friday and we made the most of it! The weather couldn't have been more perfect, that's for sure. Warm during the days, sunny without a cloud in the sky, and cool in the shade. Pure heaven. The water was crystal clear and we didn't see a lick of oil (thank goodness). Cousin Cameron came and stayed with us for a couple of days and was good company. She also stayed behind at the condo so I could take Jack PARASAILING!!!!! He loved it and wasn't scared for a second. I was so proud of him :)

Our condo was steps from the beach. Literally, steps. The view was breathtaking and the boys and I enjoyed breakfast on the patio each morning. I think we'll have to do this each "records day" in October!!

Fun around the house





Last Monday was crazy sock day at Theo's school so we made good use of our crazy Mardi Gras leg warmers :) He's also gotten really into stamping these days. Most MWF he comes home from school with his arms covered in stamps (who needs paper, right?).

Cali trip!





















I traveled to Cayucos, California this past weekend to meet up with 11 friends of mine. We stayed at the most awesome beach house and enjoyed the hot tub and beach. Sunsets over the ocean were amazing (gotta love being on the west coast). There are so many pictures from this weekend but here are just a few! We traveled to the Hearst Castle on Saturday but I'll have to get the pictures from friends. I didn't bring my big camera and the little one just doesn't take good pictures anymore.

Cousin time





Dave took the boys to Baton Rouge on Saturday for the LSU game. The boys stayed behind and had fun with Aunt Debbie and Uncle Dane. Debbie and Dane had their grandson, Michael, and all 3 boys played and played.
