Orangemen class of 2027

Not sure Jim Boheim will be scouting us anytime soon but we are ready whenever he is...yes the long awaited basketball season for 3 year olds has begun...oh the joy...oh the fun!

Superheros Save the Day!

Without even trying, we managed a Halloween Superhero theme...could they have any more fun in one day?? We spent the AM at an awesome charity Trick or Treat event then over to the twin's house for some festive cookie decorating followed by the BIG Superhero night.

Hallow-eve...and Batman is so ready!

"Mommy, Daddy work, BIG Halloween party"...Van's first words on waking up this morning...guess the party made a BIG impression.

The photographer asked him to make a silly face.

The Arnold pose was his idea.

Once he saw his pal, Darren (http://www.Twinfatuation.blogspot.com/) behind that mask, he was not 'fraid.

Thanks Meredith for this cool ghost

Yes, my mouth is full of candy!

Treats and "Thumpkins"

Fairy Godmother's Halloween box of fun arrived...it's officially the season now. The weather was perfect today for our "thumkins" outing.
Yeah for fun friends to share in our adventure...

Counting our Blessings!!

Enough said!

Funny Man Van

Van's speech is certainly allowing us to see more of his personality and he really is a pretty funny kid. He certainly has a zest for life that makes the people around him smile. His glee just rubs off on friends and strangers. Funny stuff...

He greets everyone (yes really everyone he sees) with a big "hi" in stores, at school, in the neighborhood.

Whenever the doorbell rings, he jumps up to answer it (usually wearing just his Thomas the train undies) which is funny in and of itself. He proceeds to open the door (yeah those child safety knobs don't work much anymore) and then says "Come ON into my house".

Whenever anyone leaves the house, (he's still in undies cause why get dressed for company) he has the reverse move of escorting them out and saying, "Be careful out there, cars coming".

Sometimes he finds something so funny like the mommy says "yes", Van says "no" game, that he laughs hard enough to give himself the hiccups.

His new favorite phase-"Oh Shoot" followed by hysterical laughing whenever something goes amiss. Yes, he heard it from mommy when her bags fell to the ground in the pouring rain...I really did say "Shoot", I swear!!

His word Pumpkin sounds more like "Thumbkin" and his Helicopter apparently has the letter B in the middle, "helbicopter".

Whenever someone asks his name, he loudly spells it...V-A-N...good thing we picked a short name!

The funny funny boy we love so much.

Fairy Godmother strikes again for all Three Amigos

The Three Amigos got an adorable care package from Aunt Beth. She made these super cute boxes filled with fun for the threesome. We broke them out for an awesome park play date. Logan figured out right away that the boys on the back of the shirts were twins and one and decided he wanted to wear Van's shirt instead...one for all and all for one in this gang. A huge hit all around and the mommies even got in on the fun!
