How did he know??

We were playing with our costume box today and I put on this HUGE, long blonde wig. Sawyer said, "Who are you supposed to be? Lady Gaga??"

Hahahahahah!!!! How does he even know who Lady Gaga is??? He is hilarious!

"...but, Mom, my arms aren't sick!!"

So, yesterday I got a call from the school saying that Owen was behind on his vaccinations and that he shouldn't return until they are up to date. So, in a panic I went on a search for his shot records, called his old doctors, and set up an appointment for the shot he needed (according to the school nurse)...the DTAP.

So, at 11am we walked in to the pediatric nurses clinic. I had warned Owen that he might get a shot and while he wasn't exactly okay with it, he agreed when he was promised a lollipop. So, the nurse looked at his record and BAM...he needed 4 shots! What the heck was his old pediatrician doing?? So, sweet Owen was held in my arms and give a series of shots in both arms. POOR BABY!!!!!

He cried and it was soooooo sad! When we were walking out of the office he asked why he needed to get shots. Here is the conversations:

Me: "Honey, those shots make your blood strong so that when certain sicknesses try to hurt you, your blood can fight those bad guy germs and kill them. It's kind of like you have superhero blood!!"

Owen: "But Mom, my arms aren't sick!!! Why did she shoot my arms??? That was mean!!"

Later he showed his little round bandaids like they were war wounds to his brother. Sawyer asked if it hurt and he said, "Well, just a little. I have strong blood."

Owen's First Soccer Game 9/11/10

Owen has started soccer!!!! He started practices a few weeks ago and spent the first 3 of them on the sidelines. He absolutely refused to join!! No matter what we offered as a bribe, the boy wouldn't budge. Then, I decided on a new tactic. I stood up and cheered like a maniac for the other kids on the team. Their parents might have considered me crazy at that point because it was full-blown hollering!!! Well, it worked. he got a bit jealous and headed out on the field! Wahooooo! Practices are Wed & Fri and games are Sat mornings.

His coach is wonderful! His name is Dave Sherburne (Sp) and he has a gift with these kids. He has two daughters that help him out, too, and they are great! A wonderful family.

So, click on the link to see the pictures from his first game!!!

By the way, we have purchased new shorts for him since them so, he no longer looks like he is wearing kulats. :)

We had such a great time letting the kids run wild! the weather was perfect and I reiterate...I am madly in love with my family!!!!

Hello Froggies!

We took a day trip to Sea World on thursday and spent some time getting to know these little guys. The glass was pretty dirty from fingers and little faces but I got a couple of cute pics! (8/27/10)

Well, he eats his greens eventually...

once he can find them. (8/29/10)

Our own Blue Horizons!

Sawyer is obsessed with the Blue Horizons show at Sea World. He pretty much breathes the music and his movements are all based on how the divers and acrobats move. One of his greatest outlets for this obsession/creativity is making his own stage using blocks and using action figures as the performers.

The constuction phase is serious business! I will have to take some pictures of the finished product for you but, check out the concentration in this shot!!
