Swim Lessons, my ASS!

First of all, isn't this the cutest? And all his swim shirt, goggles, and floaties match by accident!



Ozzy helping out!

AJ tries, but the water's too deep for him!


I showed Nate how to maneuver the wall ONE TIME. This is his second time in the pool this season.. probably for a total of 45 minutes in the water. He'll go out, come back, then blow bubbles. Bear in mind that he cannot touch the ground here.

Ya, I think we'll skip the swim lessons for him.

HELLL YA!

There's nothing like the first swim of the season!!




CANNONBALL!!

A VERY enthusiastic Happy Birthday!

Aunt Weswee

Aunt Leslie heard her biopsy results today....Everything ALL CLEAR....no cancer.

Sunday.

Nate's wondering why the helmet is so uncomfortable. It's because he put it on backwards.

Hanging out with Dad

Painting.

Museum of Science on Satuday...now with VIDEO!!!

Here the boys are getting their first lesson in how to use SCIENCE to get away with CRIMES.

Building things up to break them down.

Nathan learns about making noise and whacking crap with sticks.

Austin's a mummy!

Here Austin is learning about the importance of good dinosaur dental hygiene. It is said poor hygiene led to the extinction of the entire species, you know.

Because everyone can use a good laugh.

Park Picnic

Went to the park today... (Austin's at school, Dave's in Boston for work).

Meow

A Splash and a lolly

Notice how little 'baby fat' is left on my baby! OH NO!

For Grandma

For Aunt Wes

Lunch with Austin

Nathan and I went to school to have lunch with Austin today. We sat out on the patio with Ben and visited.

AJ's PreK Graduation

AJ graduated from PreK today. He's now off until kindergarten starts in the fall.
His school was Sickles High School.
His teacher was Mrs. Dorsey & her students.



AJ is in this group... 3rd kid from the right.

Here he is... in the middle.

AJ shared a cupcake with Nathan, and tried to keep all the yellow icing as clean as possible. Here he is being a great big brother and wiping Nathan's face.

But all that wiping didn't help much. C'mon, Nathan's 2. There's nothing tidy about 2.

The school catered a whole party. Pizza, cupcakes, cookies, drinks, and this cake. The school mascot is the Gryphons, so the little ones are the Gryphlets!

A couple Tuesday shots

Nothing going on today.. just a couple cute pix.

Saturday. Swimming and Downtown Disney

Taking a break for a Lunchable snack!

Sharing Cheez-its.



Nathan loved to swim, but was cautious. He held on to Dave for dear life!

Pool Buddies.



These pix are later in the day on Saturday at Downtown Disney. Here are the boys in the Lego store.. notice AJ's look. I call it 'Evil Genius'.

These are the next pics. Dave and I fell for the cuteness and they scored some new toys. These toys would be the demise of a perfectly good trip to the Magic Kingdom (read Magic Kingdom entry).


Austin and Buzz Lightyear.

Sunday. Magic Kingdom.

So we went to Disney. Left Saturday and stayed at the hotel- swam and went to Downtown Disney (shopping). Then, we went to the Magic Kingdom on Sunday. We made the critical mistake of buying Oz and AJ a new Lego set on Saturday and saying they couldn't open it until they were home. All day Sunday, the 2 big boys bitched and moaned the entire time to go home.


This is just a pic of Cinderella's Castle. What a sight!

Nathan at Mickey's house. He grabbed at the shape and kept saying "MEEE MOUUUU!"

Dave and AJ trying to eat an ice cream very quickly- it was hot and melting all over.

On the train.

We got to meet Mickey and Minnie. Nathan didn't like them as much when they were human sized rodents.

Train ride.

Can you guess what ride this was on? Nope, not Pirates of the Caribbean... it's on a freaking SMALL WORLD!

Here's a normal response to Small World.

Nathan was so tired at the end of the day.. Can you see it in his eyes? He's hanging on to Dave's pants for balance. (We're on tram back to the car)
