Here are some snapshots from our week:

we went to the Cartoon Art Museum in the city.

the lighting wasn’t camera-friendly of course.

but i snapped away anyway.

they had a TV playing looney tunes and the boys loved it.

I think this is meant to be a cartoon frame but Nathaniel was so small, it sort of didn’t work.

they were doing a promo for GI Joe 2 and there was a cartoonist drawing live and gifted the kids a few drawings.

then we went to Reverie again and I snapped shots of the boys while we waited for food.

i love these photos.

look at how similar they look.

then it was nathaniel’s turn.

facing daddy but looking at me.

after that we went to the pirate store on 826 Valencia which was a ton of fun.

the kids explored and played.

i think they liked the swords the best.

it was fun watching them play.

then it was family photo time.

Nathaniel’s counting until we say “We love Legos!”.

hug-time which was more like “grab your brother” time.

the boys were messing around and laughing like crazy so I grabbed my camera and snapped away.

even tho they are blurry i love them.

especially the hugging and kissing!

Nathaniel posed with his hat for me, too.

and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too.

Here are some snapshots from our week:

we went to Randall museum and I tried to snap a photo in the parking lot but Nathaniel wasn’t having it.

and when Jake grabbed him, he made his silly face

the kids played with the earthquake simulator.

seeing the world like a fly sees the world.

puppet shows!

then we went to one of my favorite places in the city: Cafe Reverie so I snapped photos while we waited for our food.

love my boys.

and love love love this man.

the next morning we played with sidewalk chalk.

we started in the backyard.

they played tic-tac-toe.

then we moved to the front yard.

Nathaniel started this long line.

and kept at it.

up and up.

all the way up to me.

then David set up his legos and started taking shots for a stop motion movie.

then it was time for family shots.

nathaniel had no attention span of course.

and kept telling us stories.

we were shouting we love legos!

look at the excitement.

happy boys.

then tickling.

more tickling.

and ended up with a family hug.

and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too.

Here are some snapshots from our week:

love this face by David.

we went canoeing for the first time (for all of us but Jake).

and then watched the ducks.

another canoeing shot.

and proof that I was there, too.

nathaniel was at a birthday party for one of our neighbors and he won these blow-up toys.

he loves them.

we went to the library and while I was sitting and reading, I noticed he found his way to the computer and just got cozy.

here’s david’s pile. he has hardcore physics books, tintin comics, some kids’ fiction and some fun nonfiction. my boy has a wide range.

then we went to the park where the boys threw balls around.

i was too lazy to really process these right.

so some of the color is off but i still love them!

mostly seeing the joy.

and how grown up he is.

and how cute he is.

look at that boy.

caught!

the Nathaniel decided to tackle david.

so of course i snapped and snapped.

and snapped.

then it was family photo time.

nathaniel telling what he loves.

tickling.

and more tickling.

lest you think it’s always laughs, there’s random crying for not getting exactly his way.

but thankfully we return to laughter.

and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too.
