Dragon's Den

We went from pirates to snowmen to pumpkins and landed on dragons. Aron insisted I make him a costume and Aden insisted on making his own tail: Which he did.

Some Favorite Words

Aden:
"Cumcubers" = Cucumbers. We like shoving them into Mommy's juicer.
"Molch" = Mulch. Stored prodigiously in Aden's shoes from the school playground.
"Skettie" = Spaghetti. Cheese only please.
Aron:
"Godobites" = Mosquito bites.

Purple Bird

Aron survived a smashed finger in the door and is now making offensive gestures to everyone who asks to see it. Aden as his hype man- not helping the situation.

First day of school

So happy to be so grown up.

AIA Sandcastle Competition 2013

We were all LMAO'ing during this one.  During our annual event in Galveston, the energetic 4 yr-olds and Mommy's environmentally-conscious jello shots (which the kids helped her make) were the talk of the tent.  The boys were big helpers; Aden was determined to be in the middle of the action.  Everyone had a blast, but boy are we tired.  The summer is definitely here!

Unexpected Mother's Day gift

Sweetly Aden took it upon himself to pamper me this Mothers Day by fanning me while I sat on the couch. Needless to say the M&M dispencer fan he chose gave off inadequate blowing power so he moved the fan closer. Too close in fact and caught the blades in my hair. So for Mothers day I got 1" bangs from having to cut out the fan. Its a very Europen style. I needed a change.

Mommy.  Very Pleased.

All-American Experience

Aron finally was able to experience the singing of the national anthem at their first baseball game. He sang so loud and proud. Aden, I have never seen so well behaved and content. We discovered they love shelling peanuts and eating footlong hot dogs and ice cream out of a ball cap, but who doesn't?
