School Pictures

Last week was Evan's first experience with school pictures. We couldn't quite agree on what to wear so finally we compromised with a red shirt layered with a long-sleeved white shirt, jeans and of course, his Avengers shoes. He came home stating he had made funny faces - considering how his Aunt Diana likes to take pictures, this was quite possible. Today we were given the link to view the pictures - they were really great! They took them outside and he did a great job! Now we have to figure out which ones and how many to order.

Speaking of Avengers - our plan for Halloween is to go as The Avengers - Evan will be Ironman, Avery will be Captain America, Owen The Hulk, Alex will be Thor and I will be the Black Widow - should be interesting.

The other day Evan informed me "You need Iron Man stuff when you are a boy". Who knew? I guess I am more familiar with the Land of Barbies & The Sunshine Family.

Yesterday I went to Goodwill - it was a great shopping day there. I found two sets of flippers along with bags & snorkeling masks - the boys LOVE them - the insist on carrying them everywhere with them. This morning they were playing in the Living Room pretending they were at the swimming pool - too funny!


Last week this is what I overheard... "Avery, I am going to be a frog and you are going to be a frog catcher" Evan. Where do they come up with these things? Currently Evan is jumping around saying ribbit & Avery is going after him trying to catch him with the laundry container.

This past Saturday Avery kicked the ball off the line at their soccer game then went down to score the first goal! Yay Avery! Bad news was Alex & Tim were not there to see it as they were running a half marathon through mud and over obstacles & fire. They did an amazing job and completed it in 4 hours and 18 minutes - I was so proud of them.

This morning the boys and I played Hide & Seek - the boys kept hiding behind the sofa - the first time it was a great hiding place - after that... not so much - ha!
