Tommy sings the classics - Vol. 2

Can you name that tune?



(I love the interpretive dance that goes with this - and how discouraged he looks on "discouraging word)

Busy Boys - updated!

My guys have done a great job entertaining themselves this week as I've been at the show every night. Here are some silly shots of the two Toms in action:

Our FAVORITE new jammies - it's like Christmas morning in these flannel Thomas jammies. Tommy says they're "sooo soft!"
Thanks to G-ma for this comparison shot. Meredith first (younger about 19 months) , then Tommy.





And then last night they got ready for Halloween and carved "Daddy's pumpkin." Tom says that Tommy mostly observed but did help scoop pumpkin guts a little with a spoon. I knew that actually touching pumpkin guts would be way too "messy" for him! Tom did an impressive carve job and managed to utilize the camera's timer to take pictures of them both carving!





Ready for Halloween!! (except for the Diego-related nightmare he had last night. Here's hoping that doesn't throw a wrench in our costume plans!)

Happy Birthday - the photographs

Some pictures from the birthday dinner last night.

Dinner was great and there were multiple cakes. My kind of dinner.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Daddy!


An old favorite... about 2 weeks old.

Family Fun & Festival

As mentioned, yesterday we hit up the Holy Name Festival and Family Fun Day at SI. G-ma and Papa had Joey and Clara so we all went together. Here are some of G-ma's pics & videos:

First we fished in the Scary Swamp. Clara braved it first, of course, while the boys stood back timidly. Once they got over the scary hand that popped up, and saw it delivered candy, they were all game!

Tommy throws balls into a ghost's mouth to win a prize. I wish you could have seen people's reaction to Joey's first throw, which sailed through the middle of the mouth.
The preschool that rents space from Holy Name was having an open house so we checked it out. This pic just begs for a caption...
Tommy, previewing his Diego costume, and Clara run circles around each other.
Clearly, I love my niece or I would not allow this picture to be seen... Not pictured, my attempts to get up off the "grass"

A classic Tommy & Clara hug, part one:...and part two

at SI they had this HUGE inflatable slide. Joey was up and down it a million times by himself. Tom escorted Clara and Tommy once each. I thought Tommy would hate it, but you can see them have a great time on this pretty vertical drop!

If you're 2 1/2 and you know it...


Today is Tommy's Half Birthday, which is a big deal in this house! We had a fun day at the Holy Name Festival and at SI's Family Fun Day (pictures from Grandma coming shortly, no doubt).

In the meantime, here's the 2 1/2 year Spiderman pic and a cute recent video of Tommy happy, and knowing it!





In other news, my show will be over on Friday and I will return to the world of the living! We're about 7 weeks away from the arrival of #2 and all is well at this time. Looking forward to a relaxing November...
