A Terrific Day of Two Toddlers

Caroline spent the day with Matthew and I yesterday. It was so fun up watch them interact. They are going to be best of friends growing up together!

MLK fun day

Today after I took Andrew over to a morning play date, we picked Matthew up early from school and headed to the Callenger Memorial Park. We met Oma, Poppa, Em and the Hall cousins for a chick fil a picnic and fun. The weather was nice but windy. As the afternoon progressed thunderstorms looked promising.
I love my days with both boys!!

Looks can be Deceiving

These sweet angels partied like rock stars all through nap time today! They giggled, laughed, sang, threw blankets and pillows, and giggled some more!! All the fun came to a screeching halt when I heard a loud thud! Matthew Connor had climbed out of his crib. Thankfully he was ok, but I hope he learned his lesson!!
So they accomplished their goal: no nap time today!!

The Halls take over Lost Pines

Between Christmas and New Years the Hall family made a trip to Hyatt Lost Pines right outside of Bastrop. It was 4 days of relaxing, visiting, bike riding, marshmallow roasting, nacho eating, duck feeding, just do what you want to do FUN!! Good old fashion fun with the family!!! Many memories were made that will last a life time!

Yay for safety and great report cards.

This morning right as we were packed up for MDO, the local weather channel issued a tornado watch. So Matthew and I hunkered down in the powder bath with a DVD player, some cars, Andrew's new lantern, and our breakfast. Matthew that is was a marvelous idea for some fun. In fact, when we were in the clear, Matthew continued to play in the powder room. I'm glad to know if we ever needed to hunker down again, Matthew would be down with it! Later Andrew shared with us that his class hunkered down in the boys restroom at school. I would much rather prefer our powder room!!
Later as the storm passed through Houston, the mailman delivered Andrew's 2nd quarter report card. It was beaming with success and it gave us a reason to celebrate over dinner. After picking Andrew up from a playdate at Seth's house, we met Randy at Benihana's, Andrew's favorite place to eat. We were a little worried about Matthew's behavior for a long meal but the dump truck and rice kept him entertained for the majority of dinner.
We are thankful for weather safety and
good report cards tonight!!

Loving Legos

Legos are popular at our house. They have grown in popularity in the last few year and the projects have gotten more complex and completed faster and more independently than ever.
Matthew is catching on too. The books may not be as big as Andrew's but they are certainly just as fun!
