First Bite

Here's a quick update on what we've been doing to keep ourselves busy this winter. Mac is no longer going to preschool since it was his least favorite thing and I figured why pay money to make my child miserable. Mac's been on a costume kick lately so he decided that he needed to be a headless horseman. This is what I came up with from our fruit snack box, and Mac added the orange paint.
 After a dry winter we finally had our second big snow storm and Mac was loving it.
 Mac's flair for fashion never ceases to amaze.
 Here we are Great Harvest playing with the toys. Half of their toys are broken and seem too young for my kids but whenever we go there they act like they've arrived at Disneyland. Maybe it's the presence of toys and cookies in the same location that is so thrilling.
 We've been trying to get little Lach to pack on some pounds since his doctor says he's not gaining enough so we decided to give him his first taste of solid food. He loved it and really gobbled the rice cereal down, unfortunately right after feeding him we discovered that the cereal contains soy so we need to hunt down a non-dairy or soy option for his next meal.

 The boys working on their rocket ship.

Birthdays and Costumes

Mac has discovered a love of watching Chinese lion dancing videos on youtube and was adamant that he have a costume of his own to dance around in. So with a little help from a trader joe's bag, some straws and left over foil tape from my show, Mac was in heaven.
 Hamilton's more minimalist lion.

 Behold, this is what six hours of amateur cake decorating will get you. For Mac's second birthday he got a Thomas cake and so in true little brother style, Hamilton decided that he wanted one of Thomas's passenger cars for his cake.


 Not the best picture in the world but this is Hamilton after receiving his first sizable hair cut from Grammy Nicole. I am still morning the loss of his long curls.


 Hamilton's first trip to Sky High for his birthday. He jumped non stop for 30 minutes and loved every minute of it.
 And finally enjoying a nice birthday cup cake on the ride home.
