Since today is Columbus Day, NHL does not have school. I took the boys to get something special out for lunch and we brought it back to Nana’s house. Nana went with us to the library after that to return some items. We picked up a few new books and then went to the park. This is the point that I realized I had left my camera at home (batteries are acting up again). So please excuse my cell phone photo quality, but it helped to capure some moments in time.
Here is the little guy hamming it up on the train:
NHL was trying to avoid me while on the slide, but he stopped for a few seconds:
Then I asked for a photo of the two of them together – NOT! A three year old and seven year old do not stay still long enough on a playground for long.
Nana had the boys stop to check out the acorns on the ground. NHL was really into investigating the holes in the ground where they were located.
After that, it was big blue slide time. For some reason, JSL wanted to hold Nana’s hand on the way down.
Next, they were both eaten by a hippo, flew on an airplane, and rode on a giant purple T-Rex.
And last but not least they spun themselves dizzy, were swinging to the sky, and went rock climbing before heading home.
Sorry for the day off, but I am spending it with my two sepcial little boys. With any luck, the weather will continue to be like this and I will get a few more fun afternoons outside with my kiddos.
Dear NHL & JSL,
Today was a fantastic day. We were with a lot of family for cousin SG’s birthday party. This morning, they delivered a castle bounce house. The two of you were mesmerized. Many hours were spent in the bounce house and running/playing with everyone here. Of course, my memories will be when I spent time in the castle being silly with both of you and Daddy. Lots of great photos from there, but right now I am too tired to put them here. For now here is one of JSL dragging me out of the bouncer to go to the slide.
Thank you both for being silly, laughing, jumping and playing while making family memories with us today.
Love,
Mommy

Dear NHL & JSL,
It is hard to believe that September is here already. In just a few days, both of you will be going to school. NHL, you will be heading to second grade and are excited about seeing everyone that you know. JSL, you will be going a few days a week to nursery school. I think I am the one that is not ready to admit that my baby boy has grown up enough to go to school. Yes, I am in denial that my boys are quickly growing up before my eyes.
Of course, this should not shock me since both of you love to use the computer. Before I know it, both of you will probably turn the table and blog about me. Hmmmm….could be interesting I suppose. Still, could you please slow down a little and stay the way you are for a bit longer.
Love,
Mommy

Earlier this summer, we took JSL to see his first movie in a theater. The boys love Toy Story from watching it on DVD and going to Disney World, so it seemed like the perfect fit – and it was! Here is a photo of the little guy after all of the fun and excitement:
Since the 4th of July, NHL has seen the movie two more times and JSL once more. Yes, the boys are big Toy Story 3 fans. We have several more Toy Story items including their new pajamas that Nana and Papa bought them from The Disney Store (wish we had one here still).
So this week, my question is inspired by our Disney love for all things Toy Story 3:
Who is your favorite Toy Story Character? It could be from any of the movies, so let me know which one and why.
I know that JSL will flip back and forth from Buzz Lightyear to Woody depending on the day of the week. NHL is in love with Slinky Dog, but I am not entirely sure.
