Apple Art

In our Moms group, one of the playday dates was Apple Art. To make Apple Art, you cut the apples in to peices and the kids would dip them into paint and stamp there paper.

Joel and I started this one. He finished it. At first the boys seen the apples and where more intrested in eatting the apples then painting with them *smiles*

But, after Joel got the idea of Apple Art, it was hard to get him to make finish the one we started. So he did this one on his own. =) If you look closely at the brown and green spots in the left, top corner of the painting, your can see where he made a thumb print tree. =)

Isaac even did one on his own. I was so proud of him. Isaac has never done a craft project before on his own. He did really good and seem to have fun doing it. =) (Isaac is getting so big)

A Big Boy Bed for Isaac!

In September 2010 Isaac took one more step forward to turning into a big boy. Even thou his mommy didn't like it to much. (Isaac is getting old.) He is way to tall to be sleeping in a crib. So Mommy and Daddy decided to do the big switch from a crib to a big boy bed.

Isaac has been in his bed for a month now. He loves his bed. He picked out the Mickey Mouse bed set. We haven't had any problems getting him to sleep. He has gotten out of his bed twice. But his bedroom door was close, so he didn't get to far. But,He still isn't sure how to get down.

Over all, we are proud of him and his mommy is happy he has room to stretch out.

A Day Out With Thomas 2010

If you don't know by now, Joel is crazy about Thomas and we love to spoil our boys and do things with them. On the 16Th, We took Joel and Isaac to A Day Out With Thomas. He loved it

Here is Joel waiting in line to ride Thomas. As you can see on the top photo Joel dislikes lines :P But a few minutes passed and he could see people moving to get on Thomas,he was all smiles.

Isaac on the other hand, who is exact opposite. He was standing there in line. Smiling and just happy camper. I think he was just happy to be out.

Here we are walking in between the trains to board Thomas.

Once we where on the train, we chose to sat at the end next to Thomas. Joel sat on the floor looking out at him pulling us alone. He was in deep thought. Is Thomas real ? hahaha

Here is David and the boys on the train ride. The train ride took us from the Station to Sokomi Falls and back. It was a 25 min. train ride.

After the train ride, we were able to walk around the station grounds where they had booths set up. We went to each of them and got a stamp and did activity. One of the booth was Thomas Tattoos. (not something i would normally let me kids do, but it was Thomas days hehe) And once they got all 4 stamps they got a price. It was a little click toy camera that you look in to and see pictures of Thomas and his friends.




Here's the boys at the toy train station booth. Isaac wanted to grab it *L*




This booth they had like 8 train set tables out and kids everywhere playing. Joel got really mad at mommy when she said it was time to leave. He said "Its war mommy, I'm not leaving" LOL (not really) but we did get him out there and he was over it few minute later.

At booths they gave Joel a free color sheet and crayons. We told Joel had to wait tell he got home to use them. But Joel didn't want to. Soon after,We let him go play up on this train car. But what your seeing in this photo is a sneaky Joel who had other plains of when it was okay to color *L* He snuck the crayons and color sheet up there and was hiding and attempting to color. :)

Here is Thomas. If you wanted to wait, you could go wait in line an take photos with him when he wasn't pulling passengers, But the line was HUGE. So we did our best to sneak a photo with me.

Before we went home,

We said to the boys we will get something for them at the gift tent. This was a dangerous decision *L* Do you know how fast Thomas stuff can add up *L* We got out of there with a 14.00 hat, 25 dollar batter operated train that will go on his train set table. Which (may i add) we have been trying find forever. I was stoked to finely find this. (I know i bad *L*) Cause he now has a moving train on his wooden train set table. Joel loves movin trains. And we got Isaac a Berti the bus for 12.00. Next time i don't know if we are going in the Big Tent *LOL* Or maybe i will tell the boys they have 15.00 each to spend. (that would been smart huh? haha)

But next year we will know what to expect. *winks* I'm sure the boys will wanna go back :) It was heaps of family fun.

THE END!!!

Today at the park.

Olives

Remember all those fun finger food your mom used to give you? Remember sticking Olives on all your fingers and then eating them off :) My mom used to do that for my sister and I. We used to love eating Olives cause we could put them on our finger tips.
(Well mom (my mom) heres to you *wink*)

Joel

He thought they where funny and kept wiggling his fingers.

Then for some reason he got this great idea.

Lets putt them in my Yogurt. Yogurt makes everything tasted better *L* Oh ya, he even put yogurt on his fish sticks. hahhaha

Isaac


Isaac was looking at his hand like Mommy what are you doing to me *L*

Then he was touching the olives trying figure them out. He didn't like them. He bit them and spit them out. Which is good news for his Daddy; who hates olives :)
