Wordless Wednesday: Brothers

Taste of Summer

Summer is ending, which means soon the tomatoes will be gone. Poor Eli I don't know what he'll do when he runs to the garden to pick a nice fresh juicy tomato and finds nothing but straw!

Wordless Wednesday: Carrots

One A Day: Day 3 and 4

Day 3- Paint the fridge
Day 4- Rest from being up late painting the fridge!


Mike did more work with this than me, but I was up late, way later than usual so I'll still rest!
The fridge before was very old, yellowish, and had rust spots (which are usually covered by magnets), last year we got a new black stove and dishwasher and have been wanting to paint the fridge to match. We did it last night after the kids went to bed. We covered everything w/ paper and plastic since it is spray paint. Mike had to make something out of styrofoam to put over the fridge, since we had to have the doors open all night and we wanted to be able to leave the food in (rather than use a bunch of coolers), so he covered both sides and the seal worked great- the doors were open all night and no cold air leaked out so the food was fine!

It looks like a black fridge! We are replacing the floor anyway, so didn't cover it much.

The Beach

A few weeks ago (or months) we went camping and spent the day at the beach. Rowan had never been to the beach before and he was in love!

Eli looks like he's just chillin in the sand- but he had no fear at all in the water!














We spent ALL day at the beach, Eli was obviously tired, but I was still surprised when I put him in the stroller and he went to sleep!! He's not even strapped in- which should tell you how tired he was, otherwise he would have been climbing back out.





Rowan could have spent all day sitting in the waves, hopefully soon he can go to the ocean!






We ended up meeting up with my cousin and his 2 kids at the beach, they came back to our campsite and cooked out with us and later my aunt and uncle came out for some smores!

Rowan is just about 3 weeks younger than Ethan, this was the best picture I could get. Of course everytime I tried one of them would move!

Mike got Rowan a light to put on his head, he wore it in the tent when we were getting ready for bed and to read- him and Eli both thought it was pretty neat. I found it annoying since he would shine it right in my face every few minutes...









Waking up happy in the tent!

The boys had a lot of fun playing in the gravel of our parking spot, Rowan would make roads and scoop it with who else, but Scoop! Eli would shovel it into the bucket, I couldn't believe how entertained they were with rocks!

One A Day

We are getting ready to sell our house, we have a giant list of stuff to do to the house- mostly small, but I'm going to try and get one thing marked off everyday. Somedays we'll do more, some less, some will have pictures!!

Day One- Rearrange living room furniture- it does make the room look bigger, but it makes
it way less baby proofed! Oh well, he'll learn not chew the cords eventually- right?
Day Two- Made curtains for the boys room. Will post pics once I get a new curtain rod and can
asctually put them up! (Did I mention they share a room now?)

Baby Cone for the Baby

Eli had is first very own ice cream cone the other day! He doesn't seem too impressed by it.
