Owen's Train Party

Best Pal Owen had his third birthday last week.
Notice the conductor hats. So cute.
Kids moving their box trains around, post painting/decorating

Monkeys in a tree. Thanks for spotting them John!

Lan was there too, making googly eyes at all the mama's.

Another trip to the zoo!

These are from last week. Fun fun fun!
A big and a little, sitting in the eagles nest

Moon and O on the tractor

Lovers Quarrel

Not quite as big as the bears...

Oaks Park

Our local year round amusement park has a preschooler morning a couple days a week. Much fun, but many of the rides are too big for these little people.
These two looked tough while waiting, but once the ride got going they looked bored/confused/anything but excited.

No Media!

See, Lan gets to do fun stuff too!

Fun Times with Moon and Owen

The window washer
The fashionable shoe model

And the "mama saves the day" water table

Park Day at Mt. Tabor

Always a good time for these two pals. As usual, Lanny was there but tucked into the carrier, avoiding the mama paparazzi.

What a day.

We went over to Owen's for some painting and other fun. The kids were just getting into every mess possible, then to top it off, my car wouldn't start! So we invited ourselves to stay a little longer ;)
A bit of Burgerville later, this is what we have:
A grub sister, no pants, covered in paint and ketchup. and dirt.
The grub brother, warpainted around his eye, ketchup and dirt as well.

Isn't this cute??!!!

Such little lovies.

Beach Photo's, round 2

3 kids, 2 adults. Massive amounts of baggage.

Moon getting O to drink the bathwater. gross.

Sweet kids headed to the pool. Moon refuses to wear a suit (big tantrum, proclamations of horror), so she borrows Owen's trunks. Once we get down to the pool, she refuses to get in and has another wild tantrum, begging to go home and see Papa. We go back to the hotel room. Thanks for the drama Moon. My life would be incomplete with out it :)

These phones were such a hit! I think we may need a set at home.

Who is this kid? Oh, Lanny. Right. He was sleeping or in the pouch carrier the whole time. He was a trouper, made it through lots of drama happy as a clam. Here he was watching the big kids in the bath. Soon you will be able to join them sweet boy!

St. Patrick's Day!
Here in the Callahan-Roy house, we certainly celebrated St. Patty's Day as any good Irish family should have. I made Corned Beef (meat to feel pretty good about. Nitrate-free healthy cow brisket from our favorite market), cabbage, potatoes and carrots, all cooked in a pot filled with Murphy's Irish Stout.

Then Landon had his First Bath!
He was so happy and so calm. It was wonderful to just enjoy his peace in the water. We stayed in nearly 30 minutes, until the water started to get cool. A water-carrying Aquarius is certainly apt.

of course big sissy got right on in
He is totally enthralled with her like this most of the time!

Mr. Big Eyes

He is just so beautiful. He melts my heart.

Finally out of the tub, wrapped up and cuddling with Papa.

Earlier in the day, this was the scene in the play room...

My favorite part about this is that Moon and Owie had ran out of things to take down/out and so they settled for reading these fun flashcards. The destruction had to end at some time, I guess! What a good play pal (partner in crime???) that sweet Owen is!

Family Playdate at O's.

O says "come with me sweet girl..."

What a sweet little boy

Moon thinks he's pretty cute too

Cute enough to introduce him to her own copy of BOB The Builder!
