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!

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)

Hmmmm
Apparently Nathan got hold of my camera AGAIN!
This appears to be my kitchen table and cell phone.

Art Night at Austin's School
Austin's school had 'Art Night'. Each student had some artwork displayed, and they had music, food, and crafts for the kids to do.
This is the beginning of the evening. Right after we got there, Austin took off to be with his friends, so we don't have any more shots with him in it.
These are AJ's new crocs. Ugly as can be, huh?

Nate made a cool pic!
Austin had some of his 'work' displayed at the Art Show.

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!
We decided to take the boys to Disney this weekend. We leave Saturday right after Jiu Jitsu (so noon) for the hotel. We're going to stay at a Disney resort Sat night and go to the Magic Kingdom on Sunday morning.
We didn't really need to spend the night as it's only an hour away, but they've got heated pools at the hotel and Downtown Disney is right there... and there's a LEGO store in there! We haven't told the boys yet, waiting til tomorrow after school.
Nate's really into Mickey Mouse- we wanted to go before that wore off and before it got too hot in the summer.

Picking Oz up from the Bus Stop
Nathan's wearing Austin's old shorts. I remember when Austin used to wear them...and I remember thinking Austin was a 'BIG boy'. Perspective..
Waiting for Ozzy at the bus stop & sharing a tootsie roll.
Austin's patting Nathan on the head as we walk home..

Is this weird for anyone else?
It was sad and strange when AJ no longer cared for Thomas.. Nate isn't really into trains, but we have about 75 t-shirts in 3T that fit him. I know we'll get used to seeing him in these clothes, but today this just feels odd..
