A - Accord
Amanda got some new wheels!
B - Birthday
Auntie Amanda celebrated her 28th birthday on September 13th. She requested "better than..." cake, and we happily obliged. It was low key that night since they worked all day, but we headed to the coast the next morning, but I'll post those pictures later!
C - Choo Choo's
'Choo Choo's' as Jonah lovingly calls them, are one of my boys favorite pastimes. I scored a killer deal on tons of new die-cast Thomas the Train 'choo choo's' and they are officially obsessed. And its kinda adorable.
D - Daddy renamed 'Home'
Peter worked quite a few extra hours this summer and so whenever he would get home, we would all say "Look who's HOME!" We loved having him walk through the door every time. So Jonah started calling Peter 'Home'. When he sees a picture of Peter he points to it and says 'home'. He'll say 'I love you home' and 'Night night home' and 'Where's home?' It started off as funny, but Jonah keeps doing it. Only now he knows he's being stinky, so its sort of a game. A really funny game. And Peter's not working as much anymore so I guess I have Jonah's guilt trip to thank? Ha ha ha.
E - Evening bike rides
We have more than got our moneys worth from our $20 garage sale find....a double bike trailer. The boys loved it and we loved our bike rides. And the boys in their helmets.....adorable!
F - Friends
We had quite a few fun times with friends. We are so blessed to know them all.
G - Grumpy moments
Just so I remember that our summer wasn't just a bed of roses :-)
H - Hairstylin'
Perfecting our good looks!
I - Illness
Unfortunately we did have a few bouts of sickness, but nothing a bunch of Netflix and cuddles couldn't cure!
J - Just Us
One of the fun perks of having family living with you is free babysitting, woot woot! Peter and I did manage to sneak away a couple times for some 'Just Us' time
K - Keeping food in your mouth
Keeping food in your mouth....which results in a timeout in the corner until your food is gone. Oh Jonah!
L - Lazy mornings
We had such a full schedule with my sister starting her own business so when we had the opportunity, we enjoyed a lazy morning at home
M - Moments
This summer is full of lots of moments. Sweet, perfect, brother bonding moments. That I will always remember.
N - Nana
Oh how the boys have loved having their Nana with them this summer. Jonah is obsessed.
O - OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science & Industry)
Sunday afternoon at OMSI (with a slice of cheesecake afterwards?) Perfect day. Our boys love it there.
P - Parks & a Praying Mantis
Lots of time and energy was spent at the park, and Ben so happily made a new friend in our backyard
Q - Quick Jab
Just enjoying my thrift store find.....spiderman gloves. Best dime spent!
R - Races
Ben has mastered his tricycle and has now mastered his big boy bike (with training wheels too!) I'm a proud mama
S - Sleepover
Ben was so excited to use his own suitcase when he went to spend the night at Micah's. And Jonah insisted on having his own backpack even though he was staying home with me!
T - Techies
My boys are doomed. With all the laptops and electronics in our house, they are bound to be a bit geeky :-)
U - Undies
Jonah loves to wear Ben's undies. And apparently is comfortable enough to wear them outside the house. Work it Jonah, work it.
V - Violet
Jonah also wore Haddie's pajamas. And undies. All while Haddie hysterically laughed. Oh my sweet boy.
W - Washing the car
Benjamin loved washing our van for Daddy
X - Xtra family time
Y - Yogurt Time
Sometimes you just have to say yes
Z - who can come up with one that starts with Z? I give up :-)
