Spiderman

It's the real deal!
I tried to get Myles to put on his Spiderman shirt when I picked him up from school. He did not want to put it on, because the last time he wore it he spilled grape juice on it. There is a very light stain. (Again, notice the entertainer, Max!)

At first, Myles was not sure he wanted me to put him down to see Spidey. Max walked right over and gave him a huge hug. Then Myles found it okay to get down. He then asked Spidey if he brought his webs. When Spiderman was unresponsive, we took it as a "no".

We made it to Chic-fil-a just in time to grab the last free table. It was right by the ordering counter, so it worked great since Daddy was not with us yet. The boys had a ball watching Batman cartoons on the small tv by our table. Plus, they loved the kids in their superhero costumes. (I felt like we were "betraying" Spiderman if we would have shown up in our Batman and Superman costumes. However, there were tons of kids dressed as superheroes.) It really was fun...and the boys got free ice cream.

Ice Cream Fun




Last night we went to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Aunt Monique's birthday. Her birthday is actually on Valentine's Day, and we enjoyed celebrating two days in a row.

Max, Myles and Angelo (their cousin) loved the ice cream.

I Love My Valentines!

Max and Myles made my "valentine roses" at school. I absolutely love anything with handprints, and these are priceless. I was lucky enough to get a dozen since I had TWO boys!

Always a fan!



We are disappointed our Wildcats did not win today. Today I thought of the many times K-State has been blown away by KU. There have been many years of basketball when our poor Cats got smoked. It was nice to see them lead some of the time.

By the way, did you notice how entertaining Max is in the pictures above? He is always "game" for anything. And his brother...well...he definitely has a mind of his own. I just love them!

Oh, the Smell of Play Dough


Play Dough reminds me of being a kid. It brings back happy memories and thoughts of being a kid. I actually like the smell, but yet I cannot imagine my mom allowing us to have such a messy "toy". Sean even made this same comment when the boys were playing with it tonight. (Side note: My mom is very clean!) They had so much fun with the "tools" that made shapes and wormy-looking stuff that reminds me of hair. I told Sean it's good for their fine motor... And for you moms who are not teachers, boys need to work on fine motor. Theirs is usually not as defined as girls since they don't tend to sit and color. Get them coloring, cutting with scissors and using Play Dough!

Sean was not excited about the boys getting it out and making such a mess. Isn't it me that is supposed to worry about the messes??
