The Cheese Lover

If all else fails in life, I do know that our Nicholas loves cheese. He can just eat it all day and never grows tired of it. We'll give him blocks of chedder and he just eats it like a little mouse. If he ever comes over to your place, please be ready with the cheese.

Laundry is Fun

Whoever said that laundry isn't fun has never been in a laundry room with Nicholas Edward or John Dockweiler.

Beach Baby

As hard as it is to believe, I used to spend every day of the month of August at the beach. I was a beach baby. I don't know what happened, but I abhor the beach these days. Sadly for me, the youngest of my offspring loves the beach and sand. He truly is a water baby. He just loves to throw sand all around and doesn't mind getting it all over. He must get that from his mother because I can't stand the feeling of sand.

The Fountain

Nicholas seems to have taken quite a liking to fountains lately. I think he gets it from his fountain obsessed brother. Anywho, Maureen took the boys for a walk the other day and took this gem of a photo. I like to call it, "Small Child at The Cookie Fountain."

Sunday at the Grove

Donuts are Good

Both of the boys woke up at 6 AM this morning. We couldn't convince them to go back to sleep. John already had a plan for the day made up. We'd go to a farmer's market to buy some strawberries and go to the Grove to ride the escalators, say hello to the security guard friend at Barnes and Noble, and get donuts. Nicholas got to benefit from this plan because we pretty much followed through on most of it. We didn't go to a farmer's market for strawberries because we just bought strawberries at The Farmer's Market on Fairfax.

Fun in Sand

We bought some butterflies a while back to watch them grow and develop. Little did I know that there was quite a bit of upkeep for butterflies. We finally gave up today and decided to set them free before any more died (sadly two had died). All in all, we released 7 butterflies to the wild. After we let them go, the boys got to enjoy some fun at the play structure. I'm not a fan of the play structure because of the sand, but both John and Nicholas loved it.
