"I Just Love School" - Kurt, age 3

Kurt thoroughly enjoyed his first day of preschool. Of course, he provided a couple of good one-liners...
  • I told Kurt to remember his manners and he replied, "They are in my backpack, Mom."
  • All the kids in class received one M&M today since no one had an accident. The teacher told me Kurt asked for a chocolate one. I bet he thinks she is the best.

Enjoy the pics below - we had to continue the tradition of taking a picture next to the front door, or close to it, anyway. Kurt proudly shows off his backpack. Today, was also my first day with kids at school. Everyone made it out the door on time - we'll see how long this keeps up.



Look at Matthew Go!

Matthew must be trying to keep up with the big guys! He started scooting on Sunday. Jim and I cannot believe this is happening already! We are turning him into an early bird. This was taken around 5:45 in the morning, after breakfast.

A Visit from Max

Cousin Max came for a visit last week (with his mom too). The boys had a great time in the sprinkler.

Monkey see, Monkey do

Pain au Chocolat Anyone?

These chocolate croissants were in the freezer section at Trader Joe's. I took one look at them and stashed them in Kurt's mini cart. When I went to France 15 years ago (yes, it has been that long ago), I had one of these every day. When Jim went to Europe in college, I recommended that he try them (not that they are hard to find).


You put them out on the baking sheet over night to proof and pop them in the oven. Delicious. Kurt thought so himself, although as he says, he is eating chocolate croysnot (certainly not as appetizing).

Who do you think Matthew looks like?

Jim and I think that Matthew and Kurt look VERY similar so we were looking through some older pictures. The first one is Kurt just more than five months old. The bottom picture is Matthew a little more than 4 months old. What do you think? Many take one glance at Matthew and say how much he looks like Jim.

Sprinkler

On your mark, get set...

GO!


Trip to the Zoo



Jim and the boys went to the zoo today. Everyone was a little tired when they got home. I got to go back to school shopping without interruption. Woo Hoo!

Dinner Anyone and More

Mmmmm............
Kurt loves to bring toys to Matthew.


Will they stay blue?


Welcome!

Jim and I thought we should give blogging a try. We hope to share many enjoyable and entertaining moments - the boys certainly provide them!

Keep checking back for the latest!!
