Randomness

We attended Family Day for LSUPD last weekend. They did a great job making it fun for the whole family - good food, bounce houses, a water slide, lots of games, and they also had a clown come in to paint faces. Owen stood in line very patiently so he could have his face painted like Spiderman. He wore his new look out to dinner that evening and was not happy that he had to wash it off before bed.


The kids have been spending a lot of time outside this week. We're all enjoying the weather...93 degrees is much better than 103 degrees! They love digging for treasure and building castles in the sandbox.

Diego is enjoying the backyard a lot, too. He sneaks through the fence to play with Izzy and loves that he can escape right through the slats of the iron gate when he gets tired.

Every night (almost) Marshall and I have a "date" to watch Scrubs &/or CSI Miami reruns before bed. Diego takes the opportunity to nap under the couch. Oddly enough he doesn't get under there at all during the day - only when we're watching tv. He usually starts off laying like this:

Then a few minutes later he'll disappear almost completely:

Lookie what I made! I just love it...a collection of words that describe life with our 3 fabulous boys. I'd originally designed it to coordinate with Jacob & Cole's room since they have some old photos on their wall that need to be replaced, but for now it sits in our playroom. It's mounted on beveled wood so it's like a sign, not a picture. It looks small here but it's actually 15x30 inches. I wish I'd thought of doing this when they were babies...it'd have been so cool to hang over their cribs!
