Guess What We Had for Dinner!?!?

Here is what's left of Thomas' THIRD helping! He was so good to wipe his left hand on his "nakin". I just had to chase him down to clean his right hand and face!

A Glimpse into the Future??

When Sam and Thomas went out to get the newspapers this morning this is what they saw in the next door neighbor's yard: Yes, folks, that's 10 packages of 6 rolls of toilet paper (10 x 6 = 60 rolls), 3 cans of silly string, 2 rolls of streamers, 1 box of 72 count plastic forks, 40 plastic orange plates and 1 thing of white shoe polish. How do I know the exact #'s you ask? Well, our neighbors just happened to leave town yesterday afternoon for a week and we are supposed to be watching their house. (So far, not so good!) Thomas and Will and I spent an hour this morning cleaning up the yard and in the process we found the receipt from our local Supercenter with the items listed. One item that was on the receipt that I didn't find any trace of was a package of gum. Thank goodness for small favors!!!

Will was quick to point out who he thought was the guilty party. Even though Thomas has a history with TP, I'm pretty sure he was sound asleep in his new big boy bed!

Each one of the 40 orange plates had some kind of message written on them. I think most of the messages were quotes from movies, however I'm not sure because I have only been to 3 movies since giving birth 2 1/2 years ago. The plates in this picture spelled out the neighbor's 13 year old son's name. On the handle of the forks the word "fork" was written. How clever. And time consuming.

Thomas had a great time running through the TP.
He even picked up a strand or two.
"Excuse me sir, you have some toilet paper on your shoe!"

The saddest part of the whole TP escapade is that it was wasted on a 30 something housewife and her 2 small children. The "target" (the 13 year old neighbor boy) was out of town! I'm sure when this happens to our house he will be happy to come home from college and help Thomas and Will clean up our yard!

New Hand-Me-Down Shirt

Our good friends over at Fitzgerald Five are wonderful to save their hand-me-downs for our boys. They delivered new batch of clothes and I haven't had a chance to go through everything. However, this lovely "Cars" wife-beater t-shirt was spotted by Thomas so he HAD to wear it. It's a size 4 but I had to cram it on him. I doubt he'll be able to wear it much longer. Which means look for Will to be sportin' it soon! This boy has got some major rhythm issues. He tries to dance but it's not pretty. Funny, but not pretty!

Thomas thought he'd share is fish crackers with Will.Which I guess was pretty funny.

Thomas had a major case of the giggles. Must be the giddiness from getting to wear character clothes ~ even if they are just PJ's!

Hanging out in T's Room

Thomas just relaxing and watching a movie. Will REALLY relaxing! I promise I did not get him to pose. When Thomas got up out of the chair Will climbed in it and made himself at home!
Will loves to climb in the toy box and play ~ just like T used to do!
Thomas decided to join his brother (poor Will never saw him coming!)
Thomas seems to like his new bed ~ at naptime at least! Nighttime is going to take some getting used to but hopefully he'll adjust quickly!

Big Boy Bed!!

Well, Thomas is now officially in a Big Boy Bed. We actually got bunk beds and the bottom bunk is a full size bed and the top is a twin bed. However, we didn't put the full size bed together yet so it's just a twin bed for now. Thomas spent the night with Aunt Dodo so we only had one little helper while we took down the baby bed, put up the big bed, rearranged furniture, etc. I think it turned out really cute!

A few pictures of our "helper". Will wanted to make sure the pillows were just right!

Printer/Fax Machine Repairman

Step 1: Diagnose the problem (there really wasn't a problem until the repairman showed up)!Step 2: Check to make sure the coast is clear. Nope, no sign of Thomas anywhere! Step 3: With your most innocent "Who, me?" expression, pull on any loose cables until mom yells for you to stop! Step 4: Give yourself a hand for a job well done!

If You're Happy and You Know It

CLAP YOUR HANDS!!!But don't even think about cracking a smile!!!

Animal Farm

We were in Lubbock last week and had the chance to go to a birthday party that was at a petting zoo/wildlife refuge. Thomas had a great time feeding the animals!Thomas wasn't too sure about the animals at first, but Daddy assured him everything was okay.Meeting the camels up close and personal! Daddy helped Thomas feed the goats.Thomas was finally ready to feed the animals on his own.Of course he had to take a break and take a few pictures of himself with mom's camera.We rode in a trailer to go see some of the larger animals. Thomas held on tight!And so did Will ~ who was quite serious about animal watching.I think Will was pretty comfortable in his cousin Kaitlin's lap, too!I'm not sure what these Longhorn cattle were doing in Lubbock ~ they should be in Austin!
