Happy 2nd Birthday, Beast!

Our big boy clearly loved his celebration and knew it was for him as he sang along. So sweet, little 2-yr-old!

Friends forever, coming and going

Cousins!

What fun we have when Ila is in town!!

Trucks, picnics, and luminarium

Make 'em Laugh

Mommy is exploring the world of blogging via mobile uploads.  That may mean more consistent updates.  We shall see.  

We are coming out of a busy weekend and have much to share:  

Saturday

Touch-a-Truck:  Seb did not want to get out of the Taxi ("No Mommy.  Ridin' in taxi") and Eli and Mommy got to enter a Brinks truck through the secured "drum".  Eli sat on a police motorcycle and honked the horn/blasted the siren.  And everyone danced with the Ghostbusters!

Haircuts:  Everyone was shorn by the end of this weekend. Bring on the heat.

International Picnic at Eli's school:  Watching mimes and dancers (belly and Irish), hearing the drums... and when mommy looked for her guys, she found Daddy engaged in a noodle fight with three preschoolers... with Seb unattended at a distance.  Good times!

Sunday

International Children's Festival:  "Plop" was great fun, though Seb did not care for the Terrible Plop.  Mirazozo (the colorful luminarium) is always a hit!

Soccer:  Eli scored two goals!  Not that we are keeping score... because we're not.  Shhhhhh!

Number of boxes packed: 1.  Gulp.

Quotes of the weekend:  Listening to music in the car, suddenly Sebastian starts singing along:  "Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Laugh." This may be the most appropriate theme song for this kid ever!  

Eli to Mommy: "If there were another war, I would hope it would be a normal-size war, not a World War.  But if another country were being mean and we asked them like a thousand times to stop, then I guess we'd just have to call a World War on them." [Response to my VERY watered down history of what started WWII.]
