A little relaxing

After our very busy weekend, it was nice to take it easy today. We said good-bye to everyone right before naptime and then took really good naps for mommy today. Then we returned a few things that mommy had ordered but decided she didn't want. And of course, topped our night off at Moe's. It was a nice evening, which meant we got to eat outside and then run off some energy!

Lots of stuff

Today we played outside a lot! Caleb helped Aunt Sarah give Leo a bath (an event that was not enjoyed by Leo), which he had a lot of fun with and ended up getting very wet! Tyler was content to watch Grandpa put up the new ceiling fan, but Caleb really wanted to help (or "work" as he calls it). Mommy and Aunt Katie made some peach jam, it smelled really yummy. Nana and Aunt Katie also helped mommy sort through our clothes for the fall, so now we are ready for some cooler weather!

Getting ready for company

This morning we ran some errands. Mommy got a new cable box, so we had to take the old one back. And then stamps and then Target....not a very fun morning, but it got the job done! Caleb was happy to be walking around Target instead of riding in the cart. We walked by the halloween isles and one of the candy bowls made him jump a little (okay, a lot!). It was the one that is a bowl and a hand is in it that is motion-sensored, so if you try to get candy out, the hand reaches down. Since that was a little much for him, we just moved on! After our naps, we waited for Nana, Grandpa, Aunt Sarah and Aunt Katie to get here. Aunt Sarah brought Trab (hermit crab named by Caleb) and Caleb thought it was a surprise for him- he seemed to be happy just to have a visit from Trab though.

Busy again!

Mommy had a meeting this morning, so we got to hang out and play with friends at the church. Caleb got to go outside and play and Tyler was busy walking all around and playing with all of the different toys. After our nap, we went to the mall to run out some more energy and play on the big hotdog. It was a very busy day, so off to bed!

Caleb had a really great day at preschool today. His class visited the kitchen, and since he loves cooking- he had a blast! Tyler got to hang out and run errands with mommy- his favorite part was lunch. We got some good pictures at home this afternoon while waiting for the cable guy to get here:



Hugs from Caleb, but you can see that Tyler is yelling



This is Caleb's "camera". The car has a button on the back that will 'click' when pushed

At the park

This afternoon it was so nice we went to the park. It was sunny and warm, but the breeze made it nice and comfortable. Tyler sat in the swings forever before walking around and checking out the other toys. Caleb played in the sand a lot (weird because he doesn't usually like to get dirty), but also ended up running around and having a lot of fun.

Tyler is such a monkey...



And speaking of monkeys- here is Caleb climbing

Thank goodness for washable paint

Caleb had a great time at preschool today! They husked corn and then painted with the ears of corn. They obviously used orange paint and he really got into it!

Hanging out at Moe's

This evening we had our weekly meals at Moe's. It was a really nice night and we got to eat outside and then the kiddos got to run off their energy for a little while. Strangly enough, one of their favorite things to do is to hang out under one of the tables!



100/80

Little Monkeys

That is what we were today! This morning we went to story time and the off to play. Climbing, jumping, running- we did it all!





Then after naps we went to the Jumping Monkey. We ran all around here too and played with a bunch of toys. It was a really great day!



99/81

Running errands

Yep, that was our day! We did some errands this morning and then hung out with a couple of friends this evening. All in all it was a pretty easy day!

Baby Boy #3

He looked great! Caleb said he wanted a baby sister, but he seemed to change his mind pretty fast. Here are some pictures, sorry they aren't better!







97/83

Relaxing a little

Caleb had school today, but we took the afternoon off! Laundry and a movie- it was a nice way to wind down from the business of the earlier part of the week!

96/84

Busy, busy

Today was a very busy day! Here's what happens when we get exhausted!





95/85

So proud of himself

Tyler has this way of looking so proud of himself when he is standing up! It's just too funny! There really isn't a way to describe it, so here he is!



See? So excited!



Just a fun smile from Caleb...



94/86

Company

When we woke up this morning, Uncle Steve was here! He helped out by doing the yard and cleaning out the gutters for mommy- which she really appreciated! He also became the hero of the day when he was able to get the cover off and replace the batteries in Caleb's Nemo flashlight! He was so excited to have that flashlight back to life!

93/87

Milking a cow

That's what Caleb got to do at storytime today. It wasn't a real cow, but he had a great time anyway! After naps we had some friends over to enjoy the nice weather outside. Tyler was walking all over the yard and sidewalk- very impressed with himself. So it was a nice day overall!

92/88

Video from daddy

We got a movie in the mail today! It was the one of daddy reading some books to us. Caleb was so excited, he kept saying "That's daddy, mommy!" Tyler just had a really big smile on his face!





91/89

Catch up

Today was a day to catch up! We've had a really busy week, so this morning we stayed in our pjs until mid morning while mommy did laundry and cleaned up the house! This afternoon we did a little shopping, had dinner and went to bed early!

90/90

Singing and Walking

Caleb caught mommy trying to record him this morning, so he stopped for a moment in the middle. But it's still fun to watch! He's singing to the Little Einsteins theme song.



And Tyler showed off some of his walking skills this morning as well. It'd be a more impressive video if our living room was bigger!



89/91

Superstar

Caleb got some new glasses at school on Monday. He decided that he wanted to wear them at breakfast this morning. Tyler thought it was so funny, he kept laughing at him.



And happy 1st birthday to Jack!

Caleb's first day

Caleb had his first day of preschool today. He went right in- didn't even look back! Tyler and mommy ran some errands while Caleb was in school. Caleb seemed to have a really good day- he looked happy when we went back to pick him up. We had dinner tonight with some friends, so it was a pretty busy day! Here are pictures from Caleb's first day:





Tyler likes to carry stuff when he walks:

Just hanging out

This morning we went to church and this evening for dinner we of course went to Moe's! When we got home, mommy got Caleb's stuff ready for school tomorrow and Caleb and Tyler got to watch a show. It was too cute of a picture to pass up!



86/94

More wrestling

I know this is something that we're going to see a lot in our house, but right now it is just too funny to watch. Tyler and Caleb are almost equal weight wise, so it's a lot of fun to watch them wrestle around. Here they are getting started:



And the break away!



85/95

Sleeping

Caleb has been getting out of his bed lately. Usually he goes back and gets into his bed when I tell him to, but last night I found him like this:



I put him back up in his bed of course, he was pretty cold laying on the floor with no blanket! He's stayed in his bed since then.

84/96

Forward Roll

This afternoon we got to hang out with friends, but after bathtime, mommy caught us on video! Caleb is showing off his forward roll. Tyler is trying to join in, but doesn't quite have it yet! He did get to show off some of his walking skills though!



83/97

Meeting teachers

This morning Caleb met his new teachers at preschool. He had no problem going right in and meeting the teachers and the other kids that were there. Tyler did well too, he just hung out and took it easy. This afternoon we took a few pictures just for fun.

Tyler's silly smile



Giving hugs



And a hug for Tyler too

An easy day

We just hung out for the most part today. We ran some errands this morning- got the oil changed, went to the store- non-exciting things like that! Tomorrow Caleb goes to meet his teacher at preschool, so it should be a fun day!

81/99

Busy day

Today we stayed on the go. We started out with a trip to Williamsburg to the outlets. Then we stopped by and saw a friend. By the time we headed back, it was time for dinner so we stopped and ate. Next was a quick trip to Home Depot, Circuit City and Walgreens. The trip to Walgreens included a major diaper change- one of Tyler's only blowouts and of course he had no extra clothes! The boys did really well for the most part- a little whiney at dinner, but oh well!

Visit to the park

This afternoon we went to the park to play. It was such a beautiful day that we had to spend some time outside! We finished off our day with a trip to Moe's of course!

Tyler loves the swings!





Caleb was running around quite a bit



And swinging from rings



And jumping off turtles!



It was a busy afternoon!

Flat Caleb

This morning we went over to Barnes and Noble for their storytime. We missed a little of the book (they must start right on time!), but what we heard was good. The book was Flat Stanley, and after they were done reading it, Caleb got to make his own Flat Caleb. He colored it and we put it in an envelope and we're planning on mailing it to daddy soon. Afer we finished that, we went over and played for a little while- Tyler was walking a lot. He's really getting the hang of the walking thing!
