A Boy & His Legos

To say Matt is obsessed with his Legos is an understatement. When I walked in his room the other morning, I found a brigade of Lego vehicles lined up across his bedroom floor. It was so cute I had to take a picture. His obsession though has become my headache when it comes to trying to navigate his room in the dark and then there are the days I want to vacuum - UGH! Needless to say I work it out. I haven't sucked up any into the vacuum or had too many Lego imprints left on the bottom of my feet - now that's a plus.

Saturday in Morristown, NJ

The last Saturday in July the weather was beautiful so we decided to spend some time "touring" another NJ town - Morristown. We did a lot of walking but it was fun. Matt enjoyed playing in the town fountain - his clothes showed it, totally drenched. Of course, a trip to a town isn't a trip without checking out the train station and the fire station (not pictured). We took the long way home, found some amazing coffee and had a really great day together.

Cruise Nail Polish

You know Emily is excited about going on the cruise when she starts coming up with nail polish combinations for the event.

Here she had me paint her nails in the pattern of yellow and pink. Reason - the cruise theme for the kids is Nickelodeon so the yellow is for Sponge Bob and the pink is for his friend Patrick.

The question is how many other combinations will she come up with (and I'll have to paint) before the actual cruise.

12 Days Until Vacation

Matthewisms

Yesterday when we were in the car heading home from lunch, we were listening to the radio and the song by Eminem (the rappper) and Rhianna came on. Emily wanted us to change the station because "I don't like Eminem". Dave told her well this is the song that has the girl Rhianna singing in it. She said, "Oh, okay". Then Matt says, "Is it red or green?" So, there I am in the passenger seat trying to figure out what he meant when it hit me ---- can you figure it out? He was wondering which M&M it was the red or green one - after all those are the M&M's they always show in the candy commercials. Hilarious. I laughed out loud when I figured it out, then I had to explain it to Dave seeing he didn't hear Matt's comment.

Oh, the picture was taken one morning before camp. Prior to my getting the camera he had on kid's garden gloves while he was riding his bike. Gotta love the outfit - bike helmet, pj's, white socks and camouflage slippers. I wish I would have gotten the picture with the gloves on...it was a priceless look.
