papa's father's day present.

tuesday, june 22, 2010. the boys worked super hard on papa's present, but abraham was asleep when we got home from the movie and ice cream on father's day. we were gonna give pops his present on monday, but this whole sickness business has turned our days into blurs. we didn't end up giving them to him until tonight.
levi giving papa his dragon card.
when i told levi we needed to make a card, he said he wanted to make a dragon, but he wanted me to draw it. i started to draw it, but levi decided he wanted to try it. so, papa ended up with two dragon cards.
papa couldn't keep his eyes open. they were really bothering him.
another eyes closed shot.
suspense.
yay! papa loved it. levi is explaining how he and abe each did different pieces. there is an L for levi and an A for abe.
it's a dragonfly to hang outside with our large glass dragonfly.
so cute.
papa's poor eyes.
love.
the finished product. beautiful.
levi's hair is sticking up with static. hahaha.
the cards. the dragon on the left has abe's and levi's finger painted hand prints for flames.

father's day, the boys 1st in theatre movie, and cold stone creamery.

sunday, june 20, 2010. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to joshua, father extraordinaire. i  knew marrying a man that chooses to teach as a profession has to love kids and has tons of patience. our children are so blessed to have him! papa, unfortunately, woke up the newest sickly member of our family:( it didn't stop him from hitting the railroad tracks before the boys and i woke up though. we played it pretty mellow. papa took a nice midday nap. we ate some din and then headed to the esplanade for the 5:15 pm showing of TOY STORY 3. we own and the boys love the original toy story, but we have yet to see the 2nd. this was the boys 1st MOVIE in THEATRE!!!  we knew levi would think the "big screen" would be awesome, but were worried because if there is anything dark in a movie at home he asks us to fast forward. no fast forwarding possible here. so, in the parts that were a little scary he just clung to my arm and i talked to him about what i thought was happening and how it would be ok. we thought abe's ATTENTION SPAN would last the whole movie because it was all new and exciting and at home he can sit through some of our longer kids movies. however, he got a little restless about half way through. he tried to escape, but i just sat him on my lap. he tried to escape one more time and then just settled as i rocked him. abe was SUCH A HOOT!!! for the first half he was standing on his seat leaning on joshua. he would shout things he was seeing on screen or bust out laughing. he was definitely "BRINGING HIS OWN SOUNDTRACK." but we could hear other kids doing the same thing. once the credits started to roll, levi realized he had to go potty. so, we made a mad dash for the restrooms and then headed out to get ice cream. there used to be a cold stone down below, but it was gone. we hit the one one 20th street instead. all in all, it was a wonderful night with a wonderful man and father!
accidental choke hold.
watching a youtube video of a kid with crazy dance moves! 
and eating chips.
waiting for the movie to start.
after a ton of trailers...yay!
lil buddies.
happy father's day!
see ya abe.
abraham wanted to do the escalators. levi didn't want to. he was afraid he was gonna step on two at once and fall.
so i ordered watermelon sorbet and we got abe a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich thinking he would think it was awesome. not so much. he only wanted my watermelon. it's that good. haha! i got stuck with the chocolate, which would normally be ok, but i just wasn't feelin' it.
levi got the blue cotton candy. he wanted gummy bears mixed it, but i was afraid they'd be too hard to eat it they were cold. he got rainbow sprinkles instead.
now papa got the best one of us all. he got some apple dumpling thing you have to wait 5 minutes for.
num.
slurp.

making papa's father's day present, olives, and cherries.

saturday, june 19, 2010.
threading beads.
each color bead has several different shapes to choose from. levi only wanted to have the same shape.
they were both really into it:)
levi super excited to find the right kind.
searching.
threading.
funny face.
from below. such concentration.
abe's strand only ended up using 2 different kinds where one is just a little fatter than the other. there are like 6 to choose from i think.
levi's strand half way there. looks like candy.
cheese.
all done with PART ONE. we added an initial bead for each so we knew whose was whose.
dinner=mexi pizza, but the boys were way more into the olives.
one for each thumb and one for the mouth.
making alien fingers.
chipmonk cheeks, storing olives.
fresh cherries. i had to cut the pits out for abe. levi didn't like them.
here we go with round 2.
we needed 4 strands all together.
this time they used different beads.
such dexterity.
levi chose to use all the same kind of bead again, though different from his 1st one.
all done! can't wait till papa sees what all this hard work turns into!!!
