New Camera!

I know it probably doesn't deserve a blog post, but I am super excited about my new camera. Here are a few shots from taking it right out of the box.  It is a Canon t5i, which is a huge upgrade to my old camera so I have a lot to learn!

Kid Sayings part 2

I really need to write these down more often and when they happen, but here are some recent ones-

Me: Ryan, your school is going to have a pajama drive. Andrew, do you remember when the school did that?
Andrew: You drive around in your pajamas?!
That is a drive right?!

Ryan: Mommy, while you were out, me and Daddy went to macaroni and bolios (Emack and Bolios)

I was praying for Chris and his topic for his paper one night with the boys. After I finished prayers Andrew said, Dad needs a topic? How about cat, lynx, hot wheels....
he has been writing at school a lot and knows about topics

Andrew: Mom, why does your belly button look like that?
Me: Like what? How does it look different than yours? (Then he shows me his)
Well, I have had three babies, and a sun spot removed...so...
Andrew: Yeah, your belly button has been on a journey!

While making dinner using my spiralizer
Andrew: I want one of those when I grow up...no,  no...for my wife...
Because only women cook right?! Chris...we need you cooking more....

Ryan: Adults talk too much

Me: Andrew, come give me some 6 year old hugs-I only have a few weeks left of them
Andrew: You will have two more 6 year olds in your life though

Grammy: Ryan, do you want to want the circle crackers or the square
Ryan: I am not really a fan of the square ones, just the circle kind

Julian crying "wah, wah, wah"
Ryan covering ears, "That is REALLY annoying"

Ryan to his speech therapist Cassie-"Have you seen the movie 'The Nut Job?' A squirrel is the main character...
what? how do you know what a main character is?

Ryan: Mom, do you want to play with this hot wheel (they all have names) his is PLY-Mouth
Me: you mean plymouth? 
Ryan: No, PLY-mouth. Andrew told me

Chris: Andrew, what will you be when you grow up-a hot wheel maker and player
Andrew: yeah, keep talking about it

Andrew looks at houses on Realtor.com a lot -and I mean, megamansions, not houses. He was showing us one in particular and we asked if we could move in with him because it was so big and he said, yeah, it has 6 bedrooms-wait, does it have a BUTLER?! When we stopped laughing, we said, no honey, its on Butler Road....
Um, how does he know what a butler is??

Flag Football, NY Botanical Gardens Field Trip, + extras!

Andrew started Flag Football and is really enjoying it. It is held out on Randalls Island where it has been FREEZING because of the wind, but he doesn't complain! Scored a touchdown in each of his first two games!

                                                All in-building towers in the sandbox

Capital T trouble. All Day. Everyday.

I got to chaperone Andrew's class trip to the New York Botanical Gardens. We gave up our membership this year and this is a place I really enjoyed. It is HUGE and everything was starting to bloom so it was beautiful! The kids were pretty well behaved-their teachers are saints!

Playing at the playground where Andrew can jump up on this post! And Ryan being lazy while Daddy pulls him along-talk about a way to ride!

Happy Easter!

Julian found his Easter Basket first, right under the piano bench! 

  Andrew and Ryan went egg hunting first, then started to look for their baskets. Andrews mouth/lip met the basketball hoop in our apartment right before we left. It looks better now, but was not pretty for a few days-and looks like chocolate!

                                                           LEGO Heaven!!

I have this same picture of Andrew on Aunt Linda's fence at around 15 months. I need to find it to compare!

 They all loved the horse, until he wanted to eat out of their hands

                                                 Cousin Brylee reading to Julian

                                    Uncle Mike reading bedtime stories

Hooked on Perler Beads that the Easter Bunny left!
