Where Are You Going Jack?

My dear son seems to favor hanging out with other people BESIDES his mama. One of his favorite pals is Big Will, who is ever so patient with this energetic three year old. A couple of days ago, Big Will entertained Jack in his car outside our house for a good hour. He allowed him to play with the windows, climb over the seats, and take control of the wheel. I was rewarded with this picture taken by Big Will titled Checking His Blind Spot.

My Camera RIP

My camera has been dropped MANY many times, but somehow survived...until now. Two days ago Jack dropped it for the last time. Goodbye dear camera. Should I feel guilty that I've been courting other cameras, coveting ones with more updated features? I'm seriously jealous of those that can take their own awesome pictures without the aid of a professional photographer. Oh, the money I could save...oh the money I must save to buy the camera of my dreams. Yesterday I took the boys to the zoo. The weather was amazing, but all I had to capture the day with was my cell phone. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!! Ah well...the boys are still cute.

Pug Tug

I just had to add a second quick post. The two young pugs, Phoebe and McGillicuddy love to play tug-o-war. It's so cute, I had to share.

Sugar Fest 2009

We aren't ones to celebrate Easter for it's intended meaning (we're such HEATHENS!!!!). For us it's all about the sugar...candy,cookies,cupcakes. Mmmm...all GOOD! I'm a sugar addict, I'll admit it. This is one happy mama when a basket of peeps is placed in front of her (and my dentist thanks me for keeping him in business.) The boys and I colored eggs on Saturday and I made my version of Bakerella's Easter basket cupcakes. On Sunday, the boys woke to sand buckets full of goodies: bug catchers, beach balls, bubbles, puzzles and candies, of course. The day was spent eating way too much at Grandma's house (where Grandma presented each of us with some toys and treats including a gigantic basket of candy) and an indoor Easter egg hunt. The day ended with a soaking of all the boys' dress shirts, which were covered in strawberries, chocolate, and a myriad of Easter candy colors.
