the ice cream stalker

Will loves ice cream.  He was glued to Louis's side when he got his treat this weekend.  I wasn't completely unsympathetic...I let Will have a little of his own.

Emptying the Dryer

Will helped me empty the dryer a few weeks ago.  Apparently the best spot for Mommy's clean clothes is in the dirty corner by the stairs.  We need to work on that.

for the love of boys

Not just any heart...a snake heart.  This is a daily occurrence in a world with creative boys.

Happy Birthday

I enjoyed a fun 39th birthday.  It was great to celebrate it with family and friends.  Doug surprised me with flowers and my mom made me a cake.  (First year she didn't have to mail it from North Dakota!)  Doug and I went out to eat with friends at my favorite restaurant and then we went out for drinks.  Cheers!

Let's eat

Louis set up a restaurant table in the family room last month.  Notice Will talking on his cell phone before the meal came.  I wonder where he learned that.

my own chair

My parents sent us home with one of our old rocking chairs for Will.  He loves having his own chair.  He likes to grab a book and read to himself.  In the bottom picture I am sitting in the same chair.  He also happens to be reading one of my books from when I was a kid...published by Hallmark.  : )

Penguins

We finally visited the zoo in March to see the penguins.  It is a great new exhibit.  We had great views of them outside and inside.  I also decided to take Will on the sky tram over Africa.  He was great and I was calm on the outside but inside my momma bear protective instinct kicked in and I wished we hadn't done it.  We walked back.  Will wanted to do everything Louis did.  If Louis spun, Will would stop walking and try to turn himself around.
