Today was the first day of first grade. I have no idea how on earth that happened. Sigh.
and to compare to their first day at their school, three years ago (because you know I love nothing better than comparison pictures):
I mean, really? Come on. So cute.
No one had any problem walking in this year, which I think was a first. There was no fighting over who was going to go first, no tears, nothing. I’m so proud of them. Sniff.
So, the boys’ summer hobby was making YouTube videos. They started out pretty well but they’ve kind of devolved into just videos they take of each other playing. Uncle Evan needs to come give them a lesson in cinematography.
Nevertheless, they were not happy with the “symbol” on my YouTube channel (just a picture of them) so they asked me to make a new one. And this is what I made. Don’t get me wrong, my creative input was pretty much nil here. They were the art directors. Looks like a boy band album cover instead of a portrait of serious movie makers, but what can you do?
Two years ago, between camp ending and school starting, Kiki and I brought the boys to the beach for a few days. We stay at this amazing resort called the Caribe. There are a dozen pools and a lazy river. What else could you need? The condos are gorgeous and huge (the one we stayed in this time is way bigger than my house) and the beach isn’t too far away.
This year was even better than 2012’s trip because now the boys can swim! Well, I mean, they’re still working on it, but they improved so much over the course of our four days, it’s incredible.
They weren’t even a little bit scared of the waterslides this time. But floaties made me feel better about the whole thing.
We went to an outdoor restaurant for burgers. Linus and Miles gobbled theirs up. Oliver wasn’t so sure. Sigh.
And then afterwards, they played in the sand for a bit, which involved some Pokemon battles.
Went to the beach Thursday. I really don’t love the beach if there aren’t chairs with umbrellas and waiters bringing you frozen beverages. Hmm. I miss Playa del Carmen.
Miles being Miles
Love these!
PS These pictures are totally counting as my 365 pics for August 6 and 7.
Me and my boys.
I originally posted yesterday’s monthly pic with the caption “70th monthly pic,” because apparently math is challenging. It is really the 80th. Crazy.
I didn’t take a single photo on Sunday. 365 project fail.
The boys say “handcups” and “lemontimes” instead of “handcuffs” and “clementines,” which, for the record, Oliver tried yesterday.
Oh, remembered one more. Instead of “versus” they’ll say something like “Miles is reversing Donkey Kong in Mario Kart.”
80 months old at the beach!
Little old man at the baseball game.
Took some pictures of my friend’s newborn baby girl (her second in 15 months!) and this was one of my favorites. So sweet!
I took the boys to a roller skating fundraiser for their school. It was fun, and most importantly, no one broke any bones! That would have sucked, just days before our beach vacation. Whew.
Today’s “no thank you bite” of a freaking bit of cherry did not go over well. A cherry. One of the top most delicious fruits ever. Ugh, kids. Ah well, at least they tried it.
Ollie freckles!
I’m in the midst of some serious purging. The kitchen is done, and now I’m focused on the dining room/bike storage area. Chris is building us a huge storage bench and shelves, and we’re getting rid of furniture left and right. It feels goooood.
