Feeding your brother is fun to do....

Body Paint

None of you have received a Thank You note yet from Lucas's birthday. This is why:

I left Lucas downstairs the other day painting pictures to send as Thank You notes. I had to put Evan down for a nap, so I left Lucas unsupervised. Minutes later, I heard him trudging up the stairs and around the corner came this mess. He declared, "I need to take a bath!" Indeed he did.
Sorry about the thank you notes. We are truly very thankful.

Flashback Friday

Welcome to Flashback Friday. Here's a little dance party from Nov. 23, 2002.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Birthday, Mom! In honor of your special day, I present to you a few snipits of how we spent the day. This video is also to serve as a warning of things to come :).

Are you sure you're ready for our visit?
Oh, how things have changed since last year!

Corn for Dinner

"Mom, this is the best dinner you ever made!" The sad thing is that I made him shuck the corn.

Bowling for Pizza

On Saturday we went bowling with some friends. The bowling alley was very fancy schmancy - not the type of place that should require prior immunizations. Lucas and Ben got a deal where they got unlimited bowling for 2 hours, plus unlimited pizza. (I opted to watch since my back still hurt). Lucas was in heaven. He ate about three pieces of pizza - more than he's ever eaten in his life. He got to drink a Coke... and spilled it on the stairs. And he had fun bowling as well. Ben did pretty awesome, I might add. I managed to get one of his awesome tricks on video:

First Day!

Today was Lucas's first day at a Mom's Day Out program at Capitol Gymnastics. He had a great time, ate almost all his lunch, and was reportedly a good boy. I didn't quite know what to do with myself, so I made baby food for Evan, played with Evan, and tried to get Evan to nap.
Here are the before and after pics:
