Look at my handsome penguin.

(he reminds me of a penguin sliding down ice when he is in his belly)

Had such a great time at our portrait party. Will be a repeat event for sure.

Looking back on a fun, hot and EXHAUSTING day.

First the zoo and then the cornfest parade.

"Thomas the train!"

*************************************

(the best entertainment for any adult at the parade. he was representing some workout place in town.)

If only I could have been carried home and caught a nap on the way too!!

Brody fell asleep like this in dads hands.

Dress up.

Boys can play dress up too........

I didn't take a pic of Brooks' pink toe nails because dad said no........but I thought about it.

What is a mom to do when her son says "me too mom?"

I have potty trained 12 two year olds at once and I can't get my own to even try?

Cold turkey? For one day......my carpet can only take so much!

I thought that I would add a little incentive.

If you know Brooks you know that Thomas the Train is like his superhero right now.

I hung a Gordon train in the bathroom and told him when he goes he can have it.

This morning he sat there waiting..........I couldn't get him off the pot.

What now?

Today I went to the annual rummage sale at a local church.

I have found some really nice toys there in the past.

This year I scored big in a two year olds eyes (and my check book!)

This wooden train set is near perfect.

It only has a few pencil marks where someone wrote on it.

I set this up while he napped and can't wait to see what he says when he gets up.

Two pics just for fun.

1. I hope she isn't calling the dog police because it isn't my fault the weather has been waaaaaay to hot for a walk.

2. Silly boys make me smile!

Another good week has come to an end. Enjoy your weekend!

Wausa/Baseball

Last night I was out with friends from high school.....always a good time!

Big thanks to Em for bring back this unique wine stopper from Italy!!!!!

Put it right to good use.

This week has been a busy week. That is what summer is for I say. The boys and I road tripped it to Wausa. Brooks really enjoyed all the boy time playing trains. This little boy is OBSESSED with Thomas right now. They had a ton of trains. We played trains from morning to night and slept with them.

When we could talk him away from them we did make it to two parks. These are my cousins and my boys in the below pic.

Lastly we headed out to watch Noah ( another cousin) play baseball. It had to be the hottest day of summer or I just can't stand the heat like I use too. Jeremy (another cousin) was there to entertain and play with Brooks. He loves the big boys!

Trying to get a nap today......but the boys never seen to nap at the same time :(
