Sneha's party

Jack's classmate, Sheha, celebrated her 4th birthday today at the gym that Jack takes gymnastics! Most of Jack's classmates were there and it was fun to see them run around and burn off some energy. I got a chance to chat with some of the parents that I see when dropping off/picking up and that was nice. Here the kids are going on the rip cord, waiting for cake, and posing for the camera! Jack is sitting next to his friends Graysen, Shaffer and Jude. Thanks for the great time Sneha!

Holiday overload

I put up all of the boys' school projects this morning in celebration of Valentine's Day...... It looks like we are hard-core Valentine's fanatics. I love all of the sweet things that Jack and Theo's teachers do with them though and it warms my heart to display it. I'm striving to make each holiday a special event that my kids will remember for years to come........ so I think I'm succeeding so far.

I even made blueberry muffins with pink sprinkles today! Call me Martha :) Later tonight we're going to have some friends over for dinner. No sense in braving the crowds tonight!

Doctor Love

I finally found the boys a shirt to wear for Valentine's day. They are both horribly cheesy... so here is the new Doctor Love. Jack was kind of embarrassed to wear it and didn't like being called Doctor Love. Girls have it way easier with seasonal clothing options.

Jack had his Valentine's party at school today. His teachers do so many fun things with the kids. Here is a sample of just SOME of the things that Jack made at school this week. One of the kids in his class (or the nanny I was told) made these cute pig Valentine's for everyone. It was filled with all sorts of stuff too. Some people are just way too creative for their own good! I sent Jack to school with some Fun Dip valentine's and called it a day!!

Time out

Theo is my little bull in a china shop. He's large and in charge (hey, 30 lbs at 17 months...... I'm not exaggerating!) and plays kinda rough. May be a by-product of being the younger sibling, who knows. I had to put him in time out for the second time in his life (I'm starting young this time) for throwing toys. He is strong and I can just see Jack or me getting hurt if I don't nip this in the bud. Here he is facing the corner. Of course I had to grab the camera to document this, hence him looking back (heard the camera turn on). I also saw Theo pushing other kids yesterday at play group, so I'm thinking he may spend a good deal of his days right here in this spot...........

Just a trim

I took Theo to get a trim on Monday. He had an unfortunate hair cut back in December that made him look like Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber (the lady cut his bangs straight across the front). I've hated his hair for 2 months and finally it was getting long enough for a repair! I was very specific on how to trim the front and now his hair is back to it's cute self. He still has nice, soft baby hair at this point. Jack's hair made the turn to coarse and thick around this age and I'm waiting to see how Theo fares.

Caped crusaders

Mimi and Papa gave Jack his Superman pjs for Christmas and he's loved wearing them ever since. I found a matching pair in Theo's size a while back and put them on him for the first time last night. The boys looked so cute in the matching pjs, complete with a cape. Dave tried to take some pictures of the boys and here is what he got: a whole lot of wrestling and not a lot of smiles.

Lazy Sunday

We went to the Saturday service at church and got to enjoy a lazy Sunday around here. I relish reading the Sunday paper over coffee. Jack had a "lightbulb" discovery of the funny pages recently and enjoyed looking at the comics. The weather here has gone from cold to warm, seemingly overnight, so here Jack is in summer pj's and Theo is in long sleeves outside. Go figure.
