Snoopy

Snoopy is back again! It's always funny because Snoopy's visits are a surprise (or at least I don't keep track of the days well enough, who knows) and I know he's here when Jack has the back pack on when he gets off the bus :) The boys have been riding bikes and playing in the front yard after school each day since the weather has been amazing. Snoopy got to take a ride with both boys and then hang out with me while they continued playing. We printed out the pictures for Snoopy's journal and Jack wrote the entry. I don't have to spell out every word anymore....... especially if it's a sight word that he knows. Go Jack!

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.
