Buddies

The boys still love playing in this fort that they built with Papa last year. When they have friends over after school for our Thursday playgroup, they drag all kinds of treasures over there and have elaborate battles or spy missions.

Ice skating

The boys just finished a first round of ice skating lessons. They seem to really like it, so we're looking into options for more lessons. I was impressed with their fortitude - lots of falling down and getting back up during these lessons!

Car Show

James took the boys to a car show this weekend while I was in NYC. Hours of fun, climbing in and out of various cars.

Brady's favorite car? The minivan.

Angry Birds Seasons

Angry birds...what a weird little came, but totally addicting. The boys are pretty excited about Papa's new phone because now he has angry birds also!

DC

My parents took the kids to DC for the weekend. Despite some miserable weather, they still managed to have a great time.

They went to the zoo on Saturday, before the rain rolled in:

They spent most of Sunday at the Smithsonian, in the SparkLab. I don't want to move back to NoVA, but it would be awesome to be able to go to this part of the museum more often!

I met up with them on Monday at the Marine Corps Museum to get back my kids.

The boys used the art table to draw a pictures for a Marine.

I think, four days later, the boys are still exhausted from all the fun! Rudy went upstairs to bed at 5:30 last night, in the middle of a playgroup, he was so tired!
