Momma Matt

Matt's a good mommy to his babies as you can clearly see from this video. Here he is putting is babies down for a nap.

I want to go to school!

Being a little brother can be hard at times, you want to do all the things your big bro does but sometimes you aren't big enough or old enough. Today was one of those days. Matt really wanted to go to school today too. So we pretended he was going to school, so we took Drew's bag from last year, took the "first day of school" picture, then dropped Drew off. We've been home for 30 mins and Matt is still pouting. Before we know it his time will come and it will be his turn to go too. Boy does time fly!

First Day of School - 2009

Today was Drew's first day of preschool. He was soooo excited, something tells me that Kindergarten will be much harder for some of us than it is for others next year. Drew is VERY proud of his decorated bag. I think he used every marker we had in the house to make the rainbow and then he picked out the letters that spell his name, plus the number 4 (his age) and the numbers for our phone number are all on his bag (plus a few others). This bag makes me smile!

Look Mom - No Training Wheels!

Drew was officially riding a bike without training wheels earlier this summer and has now perfected it. You can see him here riding in circles in our driveway. Here is the proof.

Fair Fun!

Growing up, I spent a week during each summer basically living at our county fair. The animals, 4-H projects and food are all fond memories. So each summer I try to get the boys to our local fair for a day, this year was no exception. Last week, we spent some time at the fair seeing the animals (and tractors), walking through the buildings and of course had some mini-donuts. Yum! Drew also talked me into riding a few ride. I think Matt actually enjoyed the Ferris Wheel more than Drew did - but he probably wouldn't admit to it. The smiles on their faces says it all!

I'm Outta Here!

Overnight, several thunderstorms rolled through our area waking the boys up. At one point everyone was in our bed for a little added security. We put both boys back to bed then another storm rolled through a bit later. At that point Matt was standing at my bedside with his backpack filled with an extra blanket. I guess he thought he was moving in for the rest of the night. It was adorable!

Yum!

Who doesn't love Sweet Corn?? Matt quickly got the hang of eating it on the cob.
