This morning was super hectic.  I had to get Theo's bag packed for MDO and get the boys fed and dressed for school.  I also had to get myself ready for a busy day.  I cut up some grapes for Theo's lunch and left some out for Jack to eat.  I come back from brushing my teeth to find Jack feeding Theo more grapes.  They had this whole little thing going on that I couldn't capture b/c they dispersed once they saw me coming!  Here's more "fun" hair on Jack.  I really love how it makes him look so suave.  He eats up wearing cologne everyday too...........

Book, take 2

Theo destroyed his favorite picture book.  It's in 3 pieces now.  He used and abused that book for months.  I went to Target today and got him a replacement.  I saw this one and knew he would like it, in addition to the exact same one he destroyed.  Let's hope they hold up!!  He loves to flip the pages over and over again.  He finds the cat and just smiles and "talks" to it.

Theo and Juliet...... sitting in a tree.......

Theo's woman came over for dinner tonight.  Jack swears that Juliet is his girlfriend, maybe a little jealousy thing going on?, but we all know that there is something special going on there with Theo.  Her older brother Scott had fun running around with Jack in the backyard.  

In other news, Theo has been taking a few steps lately.  It's more and more every day, so maybe walking is not too far away.  Maybe for Halloween?  Just maybe.....

Both boys were summoning the cat to the backdoor this morning.  They were so happy to see him and I just couldn't resist snapping these pictures of them.  I got Theo dressed in one of the cute tops that Aunt Jen sent him for his bday.  I love my preppy boys.  

You'll notice that Jack's hair is spiked.  It takes much convincing on my part to do this.  He always says that he wants boring hair "like Uncle Knitnots" (from Imagination Movers) and I have to plead with him to make it cute.  Then I spray a dash of cologne under his shirt.  So handsome and good smelling!!!

Here's Theo in his "ladies man" outfit.  We took family pictures today and he wore this again.  You all will be seeing this outfit on our Christmas card!!

Cedarwood picnic

Our day was filled with fun activities.  After coming home from Brady's party and neither boy napping, we headed out to Jack's school picnic.  The school is celebrating its 25th year and had a really beautiful cake.  There were lots of fun things for the kids to do and Jack took full advantage of everything.  He decorated a cookie 

and then had some cotton candy.  He got Fun Dip and got smarties.  Theo was confined to the stroller that got stuck in the grass so much that I wanted to chunk it.  Hopefully the boys will sleep well tonight.

Brady's first birthday

Today we helped celebrate Brady's first birthday (my friend Rochelle's little boy) at a local park, complete with a carousel.   There was a big lake nearby with ducks to feed and a great playset for all of the big kids.  Theo was not too impressed with his first carousel ride.  He was shaking the whole time and couldn't get off the horse fast enough!  Jack, on the other hand, LOVED it and rode several times.  So different that a couple of years ago when he was in Theo's shoes.   Jack and Tyler had fun riding in the seat a couple of times.  Several of my grad school friends were there and it was great to catch up with everyone (and their kids!).  We all have boys and only boys.  Here's an attempt at a group picture (l to r, Kara, Leah, April, me and Rochelle).

We had a great time and really enjoyed all of the fun activities!  Thank for inviting us Rochelle and Jared.
