Karate Pants!

Thade decided to start taking Tae Kwon Do, and he really needed a Gi for the class. We ordered him one, and Friday it arrived.

He was a little excited!

014

Of course he had to try it on, right away, he could not wait, at all…

015

017

Before you knew it, everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.

021

I couldn’t help myself, now that song is stuck in your head too.

He can’t wait for his next Tae Kwon Do class.

Preschool Enrollment

We had one more school enrollment this week, this time it was for Dylan.

He couldn’t wait to go, Dylan loves preschool so very much. Thade decided that he would tag along too and say hi to his old teachers too.

Enrollment was easy, but bittersweet too. This is Dylan’s last year in preschool. My little guy is growing up way too fast.


New Hair-Cuts

My boys were looking a bit messy, with their shaggy little mop-tops, so I declared it was time for a hair-cut.

0052

I give the boys at home hair-cuts. I’ve been cutting Thade’s hair for about 6 years now, and Dylan doesn’t mind either. This time I decided to try something a little different, so I gave the boys faux-hawks. I think they look super-cute!

0071

Dylan was really excited about his new hair!

0053

0162

Thade liked his hair too.

013

I think the new edgy hair-cuts suits their mischievous personalities too.

The I’m Boreds Hit Early

I was hoping for an I’m Bored free day, but the kids were up at 6:30 a.m., and the I’m Boreds hit before 9:00 a.m. I did a quick check of the weather, it was almost 80 degrees out, I loaded up the kiddos, and we made a quick trip out.

0014

Our first stop was to the library to get a few weeks worth of reading materials for Thade. We were in luck too, our favorite librarian was in, and she helped the boys find a lot of great books.

019

We loaded up the bag with chapter books for Thade, and board books for Dylan. Dylan isn’t reading just yet, but Thade really likes to read the board books to him.

0024

Then we ran to redbox to grab a movie. The kiddos wanted to see the second Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie, and I thought that sounded like a pretty good afternoon to me.

021

Dylan kicked it on a chair in the office, and tried to solve a Rubik’s Cube for a bit.

0271

Thade played his DS for a bit after he finished reading three of the books that we got earlier in the day.

029

Dylan set up a Yo Gabba Gabba! art instillation for Agnes.

Then it was time for Thade to photo-bomb every picture that I was taking.

Thade the photo-bomb master!

036

When the longest part of the afternoon hit ( 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.) we kicked it on the couch and watched a movie. It was really funny too, and I could relate a little too much to the Mom in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

I finished up the day by making a big batch of chocolate cupcakes, and giving the boy’s much needed hair-cuts (I’ll have those photos up laters).

047

Tomorrow it is supposed to be hot again, so we’ll see if we can survive another day of the I’m Boreds.

So Alike Sometimes

My Mom said to me once, I know they are all siblings, but each of them are the exact opposite of the other one.

005

It’s true.

017

They are alike in so many ways, but completely different at the same time.

010

I’ll capture an image where I think one looks like the other…

0061

Similar, but different still.

065

Agnes took these…

066

It is hard to tell if she is smiling at Thade, or if he is mimicking her smile.

067

So alike, but so different…

0171

Little personalities all their own.

0161

Each their very unique own…
