We were the first ones to music class yesterday so Maya scored on getting the first choice of toys in the basket. Not only did she look adorable, but she also scored on the helicopter!
Story time – the 3 Little Pigs:
Meanwhile, Alo & Akuch went to the pumpkin patch with Alo’s friend Hunter.
We picked the twins up from school after lunch at Nati’s with Bill. I bribed a smile & pose out of them with a peppermint patty.

Happy birthday yesterday to Jennifer – a good excuse for a play date!
What would really be nice is if they could be still for just a very short time so I can take a photo that isn’t all blurry …
Maya didn’t want to share her dolls …
Bath time!

Ok, so that’s not really a pumpkin patch, but Sparty sure is one happy pumpkin!
Last week Akuch took Alo to get a pumpkin.
They came home with the bigger pumpkin, and they’re going to wait for Robb to come down on the 29th to carve it.
Here’s Maya picking out her pumpkin.

It’s true … Alo has the magical gift of being able to shed a tear in under 5 seconds. No matter how big or small the problem, a tear is always on standby in his tear ducts waiting to make its rapid exit.
These aren’t normal tears, either. These are strong tears, able to linger on the cheek for long periods of time, sometimes hours, and even days past the “incident.” For reals …
But on the other hand, this little man has the ability to bring on standing-on-my-head laughter. Here he is dissecting my belly button. If you look up close, he’s got both hands ripping my abdomen apart at the seams.
I was glad Robb was close by with his phone to take a picture!

While Robb & Akuch celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary, we stayed home with Alo.
Scrub-a-dub-dub!

& just what does he think Grandma (aka Amma) would do about it anyways??

I can’t believe it’s been three days since I last posted.
Above is a great photo of Maya listening to story time at music class Thursday. Unfortunately it comes with the bottom of someone’s dirty foot …
Here’s the whole group of 2-year olds. Most of them have some sort of an attention span.
Alo & Maya at Nati’s afterwards.
There’s never a shortage of hugs from Maya.

What kind of mother finds humor in flashing her poor, sweet baby boy? If you guessed Jen, BINGO! But he seems content…
Below, Alo and friends enjoy the shade.

Alo began his outdoor training in Gardening 101 this weekend. He’s done a fine job of helping out in the house – feeding the dogs, checking laundry (more like pushing washer & dryer buttons …) & general cleanup – & it seems he’s going to do a great job of keeping the plants watered when Pappa has to retire.
Then it was time to make sure the dogs had plenty of water.
After that & playing in the yard for a while (photos tomorrow), Alo removed all his wet clothes & passed out.

Yesterday Alo went shopping with Amma & Pappa. Above, he’s playing with a sticker the checkout guy gave him.
While Maya and Sparty contemplate which car they want to buy.
Bruce & I went to a garden wedding for the son of one of my GNO friends. Nick, the groom, is an avid rock climber and was once on the US Climbing Team traveling the world climbing and competing. Nick’s now-wife, Steph, happens to be one of my yoga students, as Nick’s his mom, Gail. It was a really nice wedding in Gail & John’s yard. Here’s a photo of the trellis as we walked up the driveway.
This brought back good memories of Robb & Akuch’s wedding.
And here’s a photo of 3 of us GNOers & the groom L-R Kim, Nick Vickie and me.
Missing from in the GNO group photo is Gail, the mother of the groom.
During the ceremony, butterflies were released, and during dinner we had a visitor.
Today’s going to be another hot one. Stay cool.
