Belated wishes of independence to you all. I'll dispense with the build up and get right to the interesting tidbits. K + J had a big biG bIG BIG weekend. On Friday, the 3rd, they went to a real shoe store and got real big boy shoes. We actually cheesed out a bit and did not get tie shoes but ones with velcro. We figure these shoes will prob fit for a NY minute so why spend precious seconds (un)tying laces?Jason got some nifty Teva like Stride Rites and Kevin got a sharp Stride Rite sandal, fisherman style. See the pix? Jason's are the brown, Kevin's the blue.
No, we won't make them wear socks. That was just for the breaking in period. The boys got gelatto after their shoe shopping experience. Kevin likes vanilla. Jason, chocolate. We sat enjoying our frosty treat while a massive thunder and lightning storm raged outside.On Saturday we attended the Buzzards Bay 4th of July parade and there's more about that in the post below (see Part II). On Sunday, Mimi and Papa came to play and oh boy, what fun! The weather was terrific and they all went for a walk and played at the playground. The boys had a blast.
Below are some snaps of different things. The boys have more access to different parts of the house now that they can walk. They enjoy being in the kitchen. They like to take my OXO spatulas and play the drums on the trash can. If you are ever a dinner guest, do not worry, I put them in the dishwasher for a good sanitizing AND I wipe down the can each night with a Clorox wipe.
This is Kevin's "You are annoying me" face. I love it. I laugh every time. Sometimes he makes a little hissy/rattling/purring noise that further communicates his annoyance. Hilarious.
Kevin likes the light in the hallway. See the spatula?
Here are the boys at the parade. It was hot. They were hot. But they had much fun!
Mom, Kevin and Jason enjoy the parade. (Like the action pose?)
Jason does his Buddy Rich impression. He's quite the drummer!
