Sandy

Pb&j by the fire. No power, but we are safe and warm (a little) and very thankful for our blessings.

Fall fun!

Fun Night Out

Every mama knows that it can be tricky taking kids out to dinner. Kids are unpredictable; you can never be sure that things will go well. Now to be fair to Ryan and Evan, we always get compliments whenever we take them out to eat. People tell us how well behaved they are, and often they are impressed that they didn't even realize toddlers were sitting at the table right behind them. Never mind they fact that before we made it into the restaurant there may have been a screaming match going on or shoes being hurled between the two of them! I guess what really matters is that these two know how to turn on the charm in public.

Still, sometimes I'd just rather stay at home. After a long work week, lately I've just been wanting to come home, put on my sweats and fuzzy socks and curl up in front of the TV. I'm glad we decided to take the kids out for Hibachi a couple of weeks ago, though. It was the best night! You know the kind of night when everything just falls in place and you have fun? That's what this night was like. It was the boys' first time having Hibachi and they had a blast! I was worried that they'd be afraid of the infamous fire, but they surprised me. We had good food (way too much of it!), good conversation, and good company! 

Rice, noodles, and "trimp"...my boys are all in!

Umm...using chopsticks?! This one will try anything.
I think somebody ate too much!

Ryan Kicks


Not to be outdone, my Ry-Ry can kick the boards too! He's a little shy in class, of course. This is just his way. He actually refused to even go out on the mats at his first trial class. At their second trial class he ventured out and participated. Last week he did a great job. Now, I need to convince these two that we only do karate at karate class!

Evan is a Beast!



Check out Evan at his karate class last week. This was his very first class in full uniform and he is a natural. Master Purifoy said that he's never seen a three year old kick the boards like this. I think he was able to break six or seven of them. Evan is the smallest kid in his Tiny Tigers class, but nobody bothered to tell him that. My kid is a beast!
