A Duet

Monkeys in the Zoo

Last weekend we took the boys to the zoo. They had a special running last weekend that allowed us to get in for $5 each. We took Papaw with us and Evan met us there (thanks Evan for getting up early on the morning after your trip to Spain!). Before we met Papaw, we did something that we have only let the boys one other time in their lives -- eat Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast. Ethan, as it turns out does not care for doughnuts (is he really my child???) and loved his hat. Benjamin loves the "stuff" in the doughnuts.

The boys and Papaw are visiting with the flamingos, while standing like flamingos.

They had a 5 minute train ride around the zoo and there is no way the boys would leave the zoo before riding on the train!

Wordless Wednesday

Last T-Ball Game

The season has come and gone. Benjamin's last game was last Saturday and he loved playing t-ball. I am certain that we will be at a loss on what to do this Saturday morning. Benjamin hustled after every ball -- even the ones not so close to him. And, when he hit the ball, he ran!

Ethan loved to warm up with the team. Ethan woke up on the morning of the last game and asked Benjamin if he could play with Benjamin's team for the last game. The loving big brother that Benjamin is said, sure you can. Ethan then asked me to find HIS Owlz shirt. (Of course he did not have one). We found an Owl shirt in Ethan's drawer and he was happy.

Ethan likes for us to take his picture and then he looks at it and laughs.

When the game was over, everyone got trophies. Benjamin has carried his around since Saturday!

Lucky for us -- there is spring t-ball.....only a few months away!

NEWS FLASH: Do you know what time it is?

....time to be done with diapers at our house??

....time to have only big boys at our house??

....time to wear big boy underwear??

YES!

Ethan is wearing big boy underwear all day and for naps. We will try wearing big boy underwear at night time in a few weeks.

The Morning After

The boys had Halloween parties at school on Friday. Papaw and Brian were in attendance. It was the kick off to a candy and sugar-filled weekend. The boys has so much fun wearing their costumes at school -- Benjamin did not have time for a picture, as Mickey Mouse was at his party!

The boys also participated in the neighborhood costume contest -- they did not win but got MORE candy.

Papa came dressed as a Cowboy.

And, Uncle Evan as a mechanic.

What a savory bunch of characters!

Gebee came to help pass out candy. Here Benjamin is telling Brian how much candy he got.

And, somewhere in all of the Halloween fun, we went to a birthday party this weekend. Yep, more sugar and candy!

So in honor of our weekend -- the boys and I are at Monkey Joe's ( a jump place) hoping that they can burn off some energy.
