Yesterday the boys said they wanted to see planes. Since the airshow was an hour away (!) we decided to take the guys to the Museum of Flight instead. It was awesome. We got to go inside a Concorde, play with toy hot air balloons and small planes, see lots of really big airplanes, and even go inside Air Force One.
Here are all my guys (begrudgingly) posing outside the Presidential Conference Room in the decommissioned Air Force One, which had been in use from 1957 through 1975. It still had JFK’s pipe holder and LBJ’s doggy door in it. But the thing that the boys thought was the coolest?
I finally uploaded the awesome video of the boys and Dave at Interntional Fountain at Seattle Center from 7/10/10. It might seem a little long, but hang in to the end. It is worth it!
Yesterday, as Tamaryn was taking the boys to a playdate, Levi said ‘No! Big Boy,’ when offered Tammy’s hand. While Milo reached out and took her hand. They made it down the front steps and were on the very last one (of two) about to land on the sidewalk when the boys heard a garbage truck. Milo leaped off the step to see if he could find it while Levi leaned forward and stepped without looking and landed on his nose on the concrete. Tammy picked him and looked at his poor nose, he started to cry and then heard the garbage truck again and stopped, cause he was more concerned about seeing the garbage truck then his ‘owie’.
Mommy and Tamaryn are far more traumatized than Levi is. But it is painful to look at. And his gorgeous face has enough scars on it! No more!
The boys and took Dave to the toy store as part of our Father’s Day celebration. Levi wanted ALL the animals. In this photo he is rocking TWO snakes, a rooster, and a doggy. Milo is out of the shot sitting on a nearly-full-sized brown bear. Which both of the guys kissed before we left the store.
It is a good thing that the boys have both become very good at understanding that we can’t take all the things we like home. Most of the time we are happy to leave things at the store for other boys to play with later.
Happy Father’s Day, Dave! We love you! And happy Father’s day to Gramps and Grampa as well.
The boys just love to have unfrosted mini wheats for breakfast. You soak ‘emin milk and the boys just eat them by the handfull.
And here is what Levi and I did for our special Monny and Levi time today. Levi started out afraid to get too near this fountain. Then he got a little closer to it and put his police car on the edge and ran it along the edge for a little while (you can see the car in his left hand). Then he got even braver and climbed on the edge – the part which is dry in the photo. And he took teeny tiny steps walking very VERY carefully around the edge. Then some big boys walked all around the inside ledge, and through the water, but we won’t mention that. And that made Levi brave enough to, eventually, walk all the way around the fountain even past the point where he couldn’t see me anymore.
If ever you can’t find me and the boys you should always look for us at the corner of 70th and 50th sitting on our neighbors rocks. We’ll be the ones watching all the cars and trucks at the four-way stop. We love to name the colors of the cars and trucks, wave back to the nice people who wave at us, and point out people who don’t stop at the signs and deserve time-outs for breaking the rules.
We have much more fun than you’d think from these photos. We especially like it when we see dogs in the cars and trucks. We think that is HILARIOUS!
Tamaryn took the boys playing at Laurelhurst park yesterday. They enjoyed climbing the rope spiderweb a lot. Even with their, slightly large, galoshes on. At one point Levi’s galosh fell off and another boy gave it back to him. He has been telling us about it ever since.
