Garage sale bargins

We had our big garage sale last weekend, well actually it was a drive way sale, because we do not have a garage, but it is over!!! What a lot of work. We found these 2 hats somewhere, so the boys had to model them for me. I did not get rid of any of there clothes or toys yet, too hard to do. I figure next year I will have a big boy sale and just go through all of their stuff and clean house.

Well today we off on a bunch of errands, getting ready for Nick's 2nd birthday party this weekend. I cannot believe that he is 2 already!! He is trying to talk. I can actually understand when he says some stuff, he and Evan were having a little conversation about a train the other day, and I loved it. He definitely knows, 'Nope'.

Little side note.

I was talking to my parents yesterday, my mom says to me, 'ok your dad and I have a question?' oh boy, this should be good. (of course, they were on the speaker phone and both talking at once, they could be on Seinfeld) I had sent Nick's birthday invite with a website for Mayan families that you can donate to, instead of filling our house up with more toys. So I put a little picture of Nick on the form and an American flag and a Guatemalan flag. So mom thinks that we just picked a random boy out and sent a picture of him. Dad thinks the picture is of Nick. Dad is right. Now the really scary part, they are watching both the boys when Mike and I take a little trip later this month! I hope they remember that the boys are at their house!

Oh brother! And they tell me not to worry!!!

Today at the beach.

We have been going to the beach for the last couple of days. The weather has been wonderful and the beach is beautiful. Although Evan calls it the pool all day long. Today we went with a friend and her 4 year old daughter, the boys had a blast. I packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apple slices, water and some candies. Evan wanted candy as soon as we arrived at the beach, because as he says 'I have been sooo good.' Then we got around to the apple slices, the PB&J were last. Nick just carries it around the beach and by the time he eats it, it has to be crunchy! I didn't even put a suit on Nick today, he does not like the water at all. Today the waves were not too bad, but it still took Evan several hours to warm up to them, then of course it is time to go and he says no. We walked along the beach and Nick walks up in the soft sand, to make sure he does not get a foot wet. I lather them with sunscreen before we leave the house, maybe that is why so much sand sticks to their bodies, either that or the somersaults they were doing. It's a long haul down to the beach with 25 things to carry, and we have to get by the poison ivy. But at least I do not have to carry either boy down the 75 steps, they do great there. As soon as we hit the sand, Evan's Crocs are off and he is running. I am sweating my ass off and trying to find a spot to unload 25 lbs of stuff. Nick just lumbers along, no hurry to get close to the water. They are covered from head to foot most of the day, I don't even try to rub the sand off of them. When I picked Nick up today it was like a giant luffa! Well, not giant he only weighs 21 lbs. My baby boy is turning 2 tomorrow, how did that happen.

Enjoy the pics, I sure enjoyed taking them.

Nick at the beach

This was taken yesterday at the beach in NB. Nick won't get near the water, but he loves the sand. Evan on the other hand, will not get out of the water!

Going back today.

Nick turns 2 tomorrow!!!

How did that happen??
