Best Buddies, Like Macaroni and Cheese

The boys LOVE LOVE LOVE spending time with their cousins, both boys and girls.  The boys live quite far so we keep in touch by Skype.....the girls live about 40 minutes away and we try to see them as often as possible.  My brother and sister in law had a wedding to attend this past Saturday so the boys and I headed down for some quality time with them.  We had a whole camping theme planned (Adrien is having a camping birthday party so that's all he can think about)..... Pictures are out of order

walking home from the park

Playing on the air mattress....it was sinking like the Titanic

EVERYONE was out by 9:30!

Ryan and Rosie....I know I've said it before, but these two will be a force to be reckon with

After dinner walk to feed the ducks

Ryan is so strong

As a kid, I remember my Nonno in Italy walking with his hands behind his back.  My jaw dropped when Ryan started walking that way

Pulling the wagon while brother is tightly holding on to the duck food

crossing a bridge

after a visit with his birth mom, Ryan fell fast a sleep from all the fun he had

my attempt at a Kit Kat cake.....turned out pretty good, if I say so myself!

Box races.....didn't have the heart to tell them they probably wouldn't move too far!

Rain

As a kid, I always wanted to play in the rain.  I don't remember if I was allowed or not....but when I moved out to go to school, I would run out whenever it rained........I'm lucky I have a good friend who likes to do kid adventures with me....so we went searching for the best puddle ever.....the kids started to jump into the water....and my 30nothing year old neighbour drive up.....we got the kids to line up so that when he drove by again, he would splash them......and then they played......

Buds forever

Drive by splashing

Busy

Life seems to get so busy sometimes that I feel like I can't even breath without having to be onto the next thing.....that goes for this blog too.....so I'm going to try to catch up.....here it goes!
