Boys of Fall

Jamie & I have been trying to get some pictures of the boys for quite a while now.....We both came in for Iowa Park's Homecoming last weekend & had planned for 'the shoot'. What I can say is that 1) Homecoming wasn't that much different from our highschool days (35-0, Decatur) and 2) Andrew is almost two & doesn't believe in pictures. Jamie managed a few shots of the boys together & I think half of those were blurred because Andrew decided to run off. In addition, I had forgotten about the library having a pond....it was like flies to honey! I think we still got some cute shots of both boys separate & together....maybe in 10 years we can bribe them;) At least the supercute shirts survived & may get another chance at photo glory when the Brown's have pictures with Teresa Berg (if you haven't seen her work, DO!)

Science Museum...no to the planetarium!

In August, we took a Sunday trip to OKC to visit the OmniPlex. We attempted a planetarium show, but about 2 minutes after the 'if you child needs to leave speech'....we left. Suffice it to say, Andrew wanted to MOVE! He had a blast demonstrating the proper slide technique & we spent a while constructing train tracks before he found the water area. So much for the rubber aprons!! He was a little small to handle the treehouse area, but in a couple years I think he'll want to spend the night (3 stories up).

Summer chores

So Andrew has a love affair with mowing & mopping. He loves the mower, but it wasn't until he saw our neighbor Wilma mowing that he really started copying everyone. I have video of him running up & down the sidewalk, following Wilma. A few days later, he did the same thing while Danny mowed the backyard. It's hysterical & a little intimidating to see how quickly he mimics what adults do! As for the mopping, I can only hope his infatuation with cleaning lasts until he moves out;)
