Here is a pick taken this morning on my phone.
The weather was beautiful today and the boys and I had lots of fun. We went to one of our favorite parks - which the boys, earlier this week, decided the park was more fun running around in the big kid playground. The first time it really really freaked me out. They have become more and more fearless and play so hard and fast. Decker likes to take off without me - which I really don't like. It has also become harder for me to leave a park or some other fun place the boys and I are at, because Decker refuses to leave. I have played the bye I am leaving game with Decker a few times and Decker will just wave bye to me as Baily and I walk off. Then Baily starts to cry because we are leaving Decker. It is horrible. I end up carrying Decker who is protesting up a storm while Baily walks behind. Baily fell earlier this week and skinned his knees. I wanted to put these cute band aides that Grammy got them, but I was afraid that he would want to use the whole box of band aides in one day. Glad I did not - because everyday since, all day long, he will pull up his pant legs and ask "What's that?" then wants me to kiss his ouches. Even in the bath.
Decker has gotten better at throwing the ball up into his new basketball hoop. It is so cute to watch him prance around about his accomplishments. I'll try and get a picture of his expression - so precious.
This week in PowerKids they learned how to do handstands and cart wheels. Great - hmmmm - except they like to do these things at home. One of the things they learned about doing a handstand is to act like a donkey. They place their hands on the floor then kick their feet into the air and say "HeeHaw". I tried to do it and looked hilarious because I could barely get my feet into the air. Pretty soon the boys are going to be making fun of their old mommy.
Well, Bruce has transferred Baily into our bed. I guess I better crawl into bed now.
Here are a few pics of our Safari theme party with Richard Ellis having fun with Baily and another with Decker posing for the picture. Both Bruce and I were busy and enjoying everyone at the party that we really did not have the opportunity to take pictures. We just have a couple. Grammy Galinet made sure we took pictures of the boys in their new John Deer Tractors and of Decker having fun playing basketball with Daddy. Daddy got a big boy basketball hoop and all for their birthday. Decker loves basketball and really wanted the big boy hoop; now Claudia and I are going to get our exercise lifting him up all day so he can make baskets. One of Decker's coaches, from PowerKids, said that since Decker is so determined to play basketball with the big boy hoop that by age four he will be able to shoot on his own that far up. I believe it. Decker is really into his sports and so full of energy. 
Since then we moved some of the sand into the our courtyard were the boys have been enjoying playing there with their new toys from their birthday. It has been loads of fun, especially with Grammy Galinet creating all sorts of excitement - like singing silly songs with Baily, playing with their bugs in the sand, teaching Decker new tricks with their water table (like spraying me with water) and just hanging out while they play and be silly too.
