Game Night at CFA

Tonight was Game Night at our Chick-fil-A, so we got ourselves over there as soon as we got home from school. Big Brother tried to teach me how to play Connect 4, but I just liked the way the pieces clinked as I slid them in the grid. Then I got bored and let him beat Mama in a few rounds. Food and games, what fun!

Oh, I'm so happy!

Alright, he's just being ridiculous and totally not playing by the rules, so I'm going to turn my attention to my ice cream:

Playground & Fireworks

Today was a perfect day to spend outside. So we went on an adventure and found ourselves a new park to explore, complete with super-fast slides and a see-saw. After that we went home, got a bath, put on our PJs and loaded up in our wagon to walk down the street to watch the fireworks that were supposed to happen on the 4th of July but got rained out. They were awesome and really the whole day was just plain awesome!

Hiya!

We did this about 14 times:

Picking apart the ground and putting it in Mama's lap:

Getting a little help from Mama on the see-saw:

All clean and snuggled and ready for some fireworks!

Loving on Daddy before the fireworks start:

Night at the Park

Tonight we took a walk up to the park and fell in love with a wagon train we found there. And of course insisted that Mama & Daddy run us around the park a few times until they couldn't run anymore. And Coop created his own little game where he whacked a soccer ball around the park. Random but fun!

Grandparent's Day at School!

Today Papa & Bebe surprised me at school for a Grandparent's Day celebration, and I got right to work on their edible ladybug. I was VERY precise about where I put the chocolate chip ladybug spots, but not so precise about how I spread the strawberry cream cheese around. I also made them a card for their special day and got a few snuggles in too! What a fun surprise! I love you both so much!

Concentrating hard on the spots:

Great picture, never mind that my eyes are closed!

Back to work - time to make Papa & Bebe a card!

Loving on my Papa:

Showing Papa the card I made. He is clearly impressed.

Having a sweet moment with my Bebe before she leaves:

Snuggling

Mama sure missed us while they were gone, so we took some extra time to snuggle up and read some books. Perfect.

Grandparent's Day Weekend!

What lucky little boys we are - while Mama and Daddy went to Florida for a wedding, we got to spend 4 whole days with our wonderful Papa & Bebe! I'm pretty sure we kept them on their toes, but that they also had a lot of fun with us! We even got to have them all to ourselves on their special day - Grandparents Day! We love you both so much!

Going on a little hike at a park near our house:

Have I mentioned that I love my baby brother to pieces?

See ya!

It's another beautiful day, so let's head to the Zoo! I even got to hold a parakeet on a peanut-butter coated stick. How awesome is that?

Yeah, Big Brother, that's pretty cool but get rid of the bird already and let me munch on that stick!

The panda bears put on quite a show for us - we laughed while we watched the Mama and her baby play and eat:

Getting a free ride with my strong Papa - it's times like these that I'm happy to still be small!

We had a yummy picnic lunch too, and spent a lot of time throwing sticks into the lake. Because we're boys and that's what makes us happy:

Time to hang out with some goats!

What? They looked like they needed a hug.

At the Zoo playground - do we run straight to the swings? The see-saw? Slides? Nah. We sit on the ground and dump wood chips on each other's heads.

Our new friend has no idea what to make of our shenanigans:

Snuggling up with Bebe with a favorite book. Life is good!

Tackling Papa on our bunk bed. He loves it!

A special lunch at Zucca on Grandparents Day. Pasta and football and family - we are in heaven!

Whatchoo looking at?

And here's how I do it - way more fun than eating pasta the "right" way!

Oh, how I love Bebe!

I know how to get a good smile out of my Papa!

Hoodie Love

I found my super-soft hoodie from last year and even though it is way too small now, I had to cozy up in it for a few minutes one last time. And look impossibly adorable, as usual.

I think Molly likes my hoodie too. Or wants a bite.
