Friday phone dump

This is clearly not my month for posting.  Busy little bees we are.

So for now, a phone dump:

Practicing writing letters (he's been asking to do this occasionally and I jump at any chance for sitting still and working on something)

 Please note the m&ms to his right.  A little bribery to get through the whole page…I'm not above that.

He wanted to write:  "Dear Owen, I liked being batman and robin together.  Love, Scott"  

melt.

TJs has Thanksgiving stickers.  What up!?!!!!

Last weekend we had a beach day and sleep over at Mimi and Papas while Brian was on a trip.  It was just what we needed.  It felt like a mini vacation and it made Brian's trip feel much shorter.  All good things.  And we all love quality time with Mimi and Papa.

Love those beach buns...

Someone needs a haircut:

Superheroes everywhere (notice the Hulk's arm in the photo above)

Parker J. was over for a playdate a few days ago.  So naturally everyone ended up naked (well the boys did, Hilary and I stayed dressed, you're welcome neighbors).  Then Hilary snapped this pic of Mr. Crazy Pants(less) streaking through the yard.  I still can't stop laughing.

And we finally made it to Gull Wings, a local children's museum.  We had so much fun and can't wait to go back.  Parker John didn't leave the train exhibit basically the whole time.  

And I think Scott's favorite was the climbing wall.

We spent this week getting new windows installed…may not look like much but they are awesome and we couldn't be more excited about them.

And with guys coming to the house early in the mornings all bets have been off when it comes to morning routines.   We have had several breakfast picnics in the boys bedroom because they were hammering loudly, and most recently a breakfast picnic in front of sesame street in the living…mostly because Owen would not stop screaming "Elmo" at me and I broke and we watched it (now for the second day in a row,  not a lovely habit)
