Random pics from my phone

These are pictures that I took with my phone and were probably uploaded to Facebook.. so if they seem familiar this is why.  These are from July to present.




At the beach in NC.  This was the first time they saw each other after a week apart.  This is one of my favorite pictures of all time.




This is a really cool app called DoodleCam.  It makes pictures look like drawings.
Hi Grandpa Brady!




Jack's first time with his nails painted... Thanks Mary Elizabeth  <3



Matt and I in Denver for a wedding.






Playing outside on the driveway with homemade sidewalk paint - equal parts cornstarch & water with food coloring.  I usually do it in 1/2 cup portions.  It dries like chalk.







Since this summer he has given up regular naps.  Sometimes he's so tired he falls asleep as he's getting out of the bath.  No clothes, still wet, just lays on my chest and falls asleep.... usually after an epic screaming fit though.  Fun times.




Eamon's first haircut!  Mommy gave it to him.  There ain't nothing you can't learn from YouTube.  Further explanation of this picture:  That's a hose nozzle that was covered in dirt that he put in his mouth.




"Safety first!"



Jack loves dress-up.  He plays a lot of it at school and we have a couple of costumes at home.  His favorite is the doctor.




Matt during the hurricane that skirted the coast.  The waves came all the way up to the dock!




Fell asleep after a beach morning.




Really digging his work.




Yard baby




I went into the kitchen and came out 3 minutes later to find this.  I didn't realize Winnie the Pooh was THAT boring.




My brother took this photo just this week.  He was watching the boys while I was resting to recover from a cold.  Eamon and Steve are picking Jack up from school.  How cute is this?!?

A Budding Photographer

Since we got our new camera Jack has commandeered our older one and likes to walk around the house taking pictures.  I think it's so cute to see what he deems important enough to capture with his camera.









First Days of School

The boys have started school at BCC Lab School.  Jack is in preschool which means he goes 3 days a week for 3 hours a day and one of the days I "work" at the school.  Eamon goes once a week in the toddler program which means it's kind of like a Mommy/Daddy and Me class.  It's the same format as preschool, just a little less involved.  They are both loving it while Matt and I are enjoying our parenting classes.  Here are the pictures from their respective first days...


First day of school breakfast - french toast




So excited!



Showing off his new train backpack that his Mimi bought him.



"The sun is in my eyes, Mom!"



Standing in front of his cubby



Walking to outdoor circle-time



Waiting patiently on his "carpet square"



The whole gang for morning circle time.  Parents are not required to stay.  I, however, was instructed by my loving 3.5 year old son to LEAVE.
I'm hiding behind a tree.
So there.



Doing his breathing exercises



Criss-cross applesauce - for the first time!!



Finding his picture off the board for attendance



Brain stimulation



I didn't stay for the rest of the school day... I'll get some pictures of the daily routine later in the semester when its not so crazy.  This is playground time, doing one of  his favorite things - playing in the sand!




And now on to Little Big Man.  Wearing his new-to-him backpack that Mimi bought
And his spiffy new Skidders shoes.


In the front yard.



He doesn't really know what's going on... hence the less than excited face.



Playing before circle time



Circle time with his red felt circle.



Typical stank-face



Engrossed in the rice table




Fun trail outside



In the see-saw with his BFF 



He's ACTUALLY following directions!



Check out those superior gross motor skills!




Showing off his stickers.




Lest we forget, the ever important Running Up and Down the Hill



Playing in the block room with the awesome trucks




Showing off his felt board creation... my inspiration for his birthday present




Snack time for hungry toddlers



Music with Mommy's favorite song - Scarves!  He loves playing with these.  I also plan on getting some of these for his birthday.   Open-ended imaginative toys are the way to go!



He LOVES the tire swing!!
