Photo Shoot

The other night Joe and I attempted a photo shoot with our boys...and got some good ones!

This is one of my favorites! Both boys are looking towards the camera with happy faces!


I love the look on Judah's face in this one:"mom- what's going on? who's holding me? ummmm..."


This one is another keeper - big smiles from Ethan and a happy looking Judah:) A few seconds later little Judah slipped down from Ethan's lap (you can see it happening with Judah's arm up in the air)


I love Ethan's sneaky look on his face in this one and Judah's 'stiff-as-a-board' look....Judah's probably thinking "If I don't move maybe he'll forget I'm here...."


Over all, the photo shoot was WAY too fun and I have so many cute picture now of my two little men:) They were both such good models - and good looking models at that! I think it'll become easier once our little Judah can sit up on his own - then he won't be at the mercy of his older brother:)

Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi day to all! Today is March, 14th - a.k.a 3.14

Back in the day, when I was going to Northwestern (majoring in math!), me and my little math buddies would go out to Bakers Square on March 14th every year and have a piece of pie to commemorate pi day:)


Just for your enjoyment here is the numerical value of pi truncated to 50 decimal places:

3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510

Yeah...I know - I'm a GEEK!

TyperShark

So, I've been noticing that my typing abilities have been slowly diminishing... probably due to the fact that I don't have many reasons to type a lot! When I do type (email, blog, google searches, etc) I've been making some simple errors that have been annoying me - time to fix that!

I remembered from years ago playing a 'typing' game to tone my typing skills for work - it's called Typer Shark from Yahoo Games...very fun and addicting and it helps you to type fast and correctly! My issue was/is I type the right letters but in the wrong order - this game MAKES you type them in the correct order and IF YOU DON'T then the shark (with the word on it that you're attempting to type) will EAT YOU!!

Now, after playing it for way too long I feel like I'm already regaining some of my pre-kid typing abilities! The key word in that statement is "some" - there will be many more hours (ha ha more like free minutes) of playing this game....

Check it out! It's a fun way to tone your typing skills: TyperShark
I play the FREE web game version offered on that link...gotta love free stuff!

A new hiding place

This morning Ethan decided it would be fun to empty out a spot in the cupboard under our vanity in the bathroom to hide in....so he did!





He had fun opening and shutting the door - we had to watch for his little fingers though - that would've ruined all the fun to have pinched fingers!

I love the picture of him peering out from the door....too cute!

Oh the things he schemes up...never a dull moment in this household! I can't wait to see what him and Judah scheme up together in a few years!!

CHOO CHOO

Yesterday, Tessa and I brought Ethan and Judah to the Twin Cities Train Museum in Bandana Square. It was so much fun! Ethan loved all the trains and could have stood there for hours watching them run by.

As the trains would pass Ethan would say "more-more-choo-choo-more-more-choo-choo" non-stop until another train came by! It was hard not to laugh - but to reassure him that more trains would be coming:)



And to make the whole deal even sweeter we were able to go for FREE! Thank you to the public library:) The Museum Adventure passes are wonderful - way to get out and explore and not become broke!

I think we will have to make a return visit to the Train Museum soon....
