Brave new world

It took all summer, but Nubbin started holding his breath and swimming under water.

He got new goggles and spent a lot of time watching CharlieGraham in the pool.

Yay Nubbin, you're a big kid now!!

Labor day beach weekend - Part 2

Happy Nubbin!

even at the beach, Fafa likes to lie down to play cars

Fafa and Daddy just hanging out

Fafa playing in the surf...

Nubbin is giving his silly face and is just happy to be at the beach :)

Labor day beach weekend - part 1

Plastic cups + wet sand = the perfect sand castle

Fafa stylin' the latest fashion - sunglasses and alligator towel

Nubbin had zero fear this year and spent most of his time sitting in the surf

taking over someone's abandoned hole makes Fafa happy

Mommy and Daddy relaxing at the beach... a great Labor day weekend

Fafa's beach dance

The first day of school

The boys were ready for their first day of 'big kid school' for Nubbin and 'baby school' for Fafa. I was a little apprehensive, given Nubbin's meltdown at the start of last year, but when we got there, I hung up his bag and the next thing I know, he's gone. He had walked into class without so much as a 'bye, mom'. Ditto for Fafa. I guess they don't need me after all... Wow, they grow up so fast :)

Museum of Life and Science

Building a fort with Daddy - the best part was knocking it down!

Rocket boys - Fafa was too scared of the rocket to get up close, but Nubbin loved it!

Dino trail - hanging out with Mom and a dinosaur

Don't eat me!!

Searching for 'fossils'... Mom found lots of shark teeth... enough to share with the other kids who were digging there too

Bubbles and Toes

The Getz kids came over for a sleepover last month... bath time is so much more fun when you have two extra kids in the tub :) Fafa was first out of the tub and he preceded to tickle everyone else's toes... water, water everywhere!

Little helpers

This is an old picture from last month, but wanted to share anyway. Lil Sis came over from some 'Auntie and me' time and we made chicken pot pie for the Wolfe's and the Getz'... yummy!

Is your name Spock?

Fafa only gets to go to preschool 2 days a week and on the days that he doesn't get to go and Nubbin does, it's temper tantrum central. Yesterday, Fafa was doing his usual wail, 'I want to go to baby school!' and Nubbin very succinctly explained the reason why Fafa didn't get to go.

'Fafa, You're two, so you get to go 2 days a week and I'm four, so I get to go 4 days a week.'

This kind of Vulcan logic is better than anything I could come up with. Although, Fafa's tantrum ended when I told him that I'd let his Sissy hold him while I dropped off Nubbin.
