Thursday

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.

Yoga

My yoga classes are growing so I thought I’d share a few photos. Above, in Salamba Sarvangasana (aka shoulder stand)

Above, Halasana (aka plow pose).

Above, the final process – Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (modified supported bridge pose).

I had two other students doing their Salamba Sarvangasana over chairs at the other wall.

Birthday Play Date

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 …

Pumpkin Patch

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.

Such a big tear

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!

I’m a little behind

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.

There’s never a shortage of hugs from Maya.

YIKES!!

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.

Gardening 101

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.
