Playground fun

Who's having more fun?

Boy of few words

Three, at last count (dog, uh-oh, wow) plus some animal sounds. Here are his most recent "verbal" demonstrations: fish and gorilla

In case you couldn't tell this was quite the weekend of family fun!

Getting the bad guys

"Getting the bad guys" is a favorite new activity around here. It consists of each boy having some sort of "weapon" and racing around to capture the bad guys. The weapons, of course, have different sound effects and purposes. It keeps the boys very entertained...and wears them out also!

Taste of fall...

We had just a sampling of fall before it got hot again. We got a lot out of that day though - kite flying, lots of time outside, and soup for dinner!

Dr. Mom with Rudy

Notice the look of concern on the patient's face about his recent injury...

After treatment, he feels much better and smiles when he shows off his bandage...

Spooky Halloween Eyes

We got "Boo-ed" by a neighbor and these were inour basket of goodies!

Busch Gardens

Hard to believe that this was October 5, and it was still plenty warm enough to play in the water! Rylan was very impressed with these fountains; he would bend over a wait until the water shot out and then he would just laugh hysterically when it hit him in the face.

Rudy was excited to be big enough to ride on his own!

O-R-E-O

I'm pretty sure this was his first Oreo cookie. Without hesitation, he pulled it apart and licked out the cream filling before eating the cookies. He's a pro!

Happy kid

Look...up in the sky!

Concentration

Man on a mission

We were at the playground and Rudy repeated this procedure at least a half dozen times, without any variations. Was his goal to relocate all the mulch? Not sure, but he sure was working hard!

Brothers

Just chillin'
