Commissary


This week the commissary had a Shrek display where you could pose as Shrek, and luckily I had the camera with me! Riley did not want to be Shrek, but he did pet the donkey per his weekly routine so I was able to capture that! All 3 of my boys walked out hand in hand too :)

Riley too!!

Riley had a little surprise for him inside the box too!! A cute book about counting in an animal house!!

More Birthday Presents

























The box from Papa & Mimi came today with Andrew's birthday presents in it!! He now has the complete saga of Lego Star Wars, a new Optimus Prime transformer, a bug catching kit, a glow pen workbook, and some Pez!!


This post is also the perfect example of the changing faces of Andrew; the first picture has a genuine smile and by the end of opening the presents he is like "Let's get this over with" haha

BigFoots



The boys still love to wear adult shoes; here they are in Daddy's boots and Mommy's sneakers!! :)

Boys will be boys

They are monkeys I tell you!! But, I will give them the fact that they are creative! They have created a gymnastics course out of couch cushions. Never a dull moment :)

New Booster Seat

So I decided Andrew was indeed ready for low-back booster seat now that he is 5 years old; here he is! He has the back row of the van all to himself too!

Italian/American Friendship Day

We went to Maniago today for the Italian/American Friendship Day. We had never been there to explore before so it was nice, but not as many activities planned as we expected. The boys enjoyed seeing the airplane displays and seeing one of the planes being flown around (through the guy's iPhone!). Then there was a cool knife and corkscrew museum we walked through!

Shopping



The boys took their money from Gramma and Grampa and got some toys at the BX today! Andrew got a special Batman with wings and rockets; and Riley got a Percy pullback racer. Thanks again Gramma and Grampa!

Water Fight!

Andrew challenged Daddy to a water fight this afternoon...and of course Riley joined in as well!

Phew...

I almost threw Riley's money out with the wrapping paper, but luckily Gramma reminded me to look for it, so thanks Gramma!! Although he didn't seem too interested in the cash this morning (he may be the first child in history to refuse money) I am sure he will be thankful for what it can buy him!!

Blanket Fort

Tonight was Riley's first night in the blanket fort tradition; usually it is just Andrew, Mommy, and Daddy because Riley has always gone to bed so much earlier and really likes sleeping in his own bed, but this time we decided to see how he would do!! Here they both are winding down for bedtime in the fort!

Beach Playground





We had never played on their playground before because we are usually busy with our own sand toys and the beach of course, but today we decided to give it a try!!
