Burning off energy

Weekends are hard sometimes.  Granted, it's fun to have the four of us at home, but the kids get restless.  We decided to head over to Mandeville Park and let the boys frolic.  Theo enjoyed the swing, Jack ran all over creation, and then we let Theo loose.  He had a blast!!  You can see my new haircut if you enlarge the photo with me in the background.

Our goat

Theo loves to chew on stuff and if you make the mistake of leaving things out (mainly Jack), here's what happens.  At least he's a cute goat.

Racing cars

Jack is biding him time until dinner by racing cars down the ramp.  What fun!!!  In other fun news, he has a girlfriend at school named Megan.   The two of them are always a pair at school from what I hear.  How sweet!

Raisins

Theo's iron level was a little low today at the ped's office, so his doctor suggested that I start giving him some iron rich food...... like raisins!  We usually have tons in the house and I had been planning to start that weeks ago, but hence, I got side-tracked.   He also started the lovely vitamin drops now that he's on whole milk.  We've actually been on it for a month now and that's probably why his iron was low.  My bad.  He's big boy eating his new snack with his dinner and his way of telling me he's "all done".  Yeah, we'll be working on that one.  Skunk!

Jack's Cedarwood self-portrait

Each child in Jack's class made a self-portrait for last month's theme of getting to know each other.  He correctly painted his eyes green and made brown hair.   You can click on the second picture to see what he told his teacher.  Too cute!!!

One year stats

Chubalub is 24 13.5 lbs (let's just round up those 2.5 oz to 25 lbs) and is 31 1/4 inches long.   He's upstairs sleeping now after getting his shots.  He got a safety sucker afterwards and the little hog stuck it all in his mouth (ring and all!!!), so I had to fish it out, while driving, mind you, and throw it away.  He liked it though!!

Don't really think this one needs an explanation........ just too funny not to post.  I guess it's just so easy when he's sucking his thumb.  The finger gets curious.......
