Babies galore!





Two of my friends have recently had their 3rd babies and I've gotten to visit with them and ooh and aah at their sweetness :) Baby Kate is 2 months old now and baby Armahn was just born yesterday! Both moms are friends through Moms club and Armahn's big brother went to school with Theo last year. So precious!!!

Slight of hand



We went to hang out at my friend's house before Art Time yesterday and Jack was mesmerized by Ms. Kristen doing magic tricks for him. He especially loved doing a card trick that involved finding a card in the magician's hat :)

Pinewood Derby car





Dave and Jack worked hard this weekend to put the finishing touches on Jack's Derby car. Jack loves green and wanted a dark green car and decided to make it look serpentine. Let's hope it goes FAST :)

Beauty and the Beast




I took Theo to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D with his friends Scott and Juliet today. He wanted to wear a costume to the movie so we picked out his Knight costume. Juliet wore a princess dress and everyone loved seeing them parade around together.

Getting dirty



I met up with a friend after school yesterday at our subdivision park and let the boys burn off some energy. They are little dirt magnets and got absolutely filthy! Normally I don't care all too much, after all, they are boys. But they were in their uniforms and Jack managed to get mud ALL over his pants and step into the pond and get his shoes soaking wet. I had to put them in the dryer and leave them out under the fan all night just so he could wear them to school today. He's a mess :)

Swim lessons




An indoor aquatic rehab facility recently converted over to a swim lesson business here. I signed the boys up since the pool is nice and warm. The gym we go to has tons of outdoor pools but they never seem to get really warm. This is the perfect afternoon activity. Jack is doing a private stroke clinic so he can be good to go when swim team starts back up this summer. Theo is back in learn to swim lessons and I'm laughing that it might take him till he's 8 to learn how to swim. Remember swimming on prozac Theo? :) Just laid-back and loves to float around. Why should he bother kicking? We'll get there, I suppose.




We went to eat dinner the night that Mimi had to fly back to Houston and the kids loved playing the "Dots" game. I had gotten them a game/activity book for the cruise and they both discovered the Dot game then. In my opinion it's the most boring game ever and it seems to go on forever :) You box off dots and put your initial if you are the one to complete the box. Both Jack and Theo love it though :)

Here are the wreaths that I made for Jack and Theo's teachers using mesh. Mesh is so hard to work with unless you have the right supplies. I improvised by wrapping the mesh around a cheap wreath form and then garnishing it with a bow.
