Vinegar + Baking Soda = Lakes Boys Minds BLOWN!
We’ve done this a couple of times now because they keep asking for it, yay! FUN, learning AND good for fine motor skills, boom!
And to keep Kellen busy, I put some pipe cleaners in a colander and let him play.
You know the scene….where they play chicken with tractors…..seriously this was all I could think as they rode around the park on this thing the entire time.
And Kellen was obsessed with this Zebra!
For Father’s Day this year, a girlfriend and I planned a night out for our husbands and sent them out to Rathbun’s Steak for dinner on Saturday night with the guys! Yes, yes we are the best wives ever! :)
And Sunday we showered him with pressies and food and love!
We bought him two awesome t-shirts which were inside the super cute “shirt and tie” bag! I had the boys fill out questionnaires about daddy and the boys made him a card!
Then we made him breakfast! Finn is an expert egg cracker now!
And Riley an expert whisker!
All served up on his special plate!
We went to church and had lunch at home and after naps we went to the pool!
And then out for Thai for dinner! Todd and his mini’s (wearing one of his new t-shirts)!
East Side….Represent (LOL!)
Happy Father’s Day to the BEST Daddy!!!!
But he is definitely my child…..insisted on vacuuming!
He did the entire living room and was very thorough!
The boys all went over to our friends house while mommy went to the doctor and she sent over these pictures!
I mean….how cute are these?
Last week a friend posted about how the temps were going to finally hit summertime highs. We’d been enjoying such a cool summer, so that morning we packed up and headed to the playground since I knew we wouldn’t be able to enjoy that too much longer!
There were two guys playing cricket on the softball field. Finn and Riley sat down on the bench to watch them and little Kellen jumped right up there with them! Seriously so stinking cute!
I don’t really have a good picture of Riley in this outfit, but look how much Finn and Kellen look alike!
Todd: Knock Knock
Finn: Who’s there?
Todd: Interrupting Chicken
Finn: Inter
Todd: bah
Finn: Inter
Todd: bah
Finn: no, Inter
Todd: bah
Finn: {laughing hysterically at this point, finally catching on} Inter…
on and on and on. Finn actually laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes! I’m pretty sure this is the first time he has laughed so hard he cried. I’ve now heard this joke 10 million times from Finn and it is still hysterical.
Oh boy have we created some monsters! We took the boys to the Red Bull Soap Box Derby and they thought it was the COOLEST.THING.EVER!!!!!!!!! EVER.
And to be honest….it totally was! I wish we could have stayed longer and watched more of it! Races didn’t begin until 12:15. We went early, at like 10 so we could walk through and check out all of the cars. There were a lot of really cool cars! Then we waited in line for a ridiculously long time to get some lunch so we could then watch the races, but by 12:45, everyone was hot, tired and cranky, but everyone also wanted to stay and watch more races. Well, except maybe Kellen. He was pretty much ready to go as he had no idea what was going on!
Pink Pony Monster Truck greeted us at the gate! Who doesn’t love the pink pony?
The race track from the middle up to the top and down to the bottom! They even had ramps in the course for the cars to jump and either land and keep going or fall to pieces!
Kellen with his little race flag, eeep!

The Presidents….Clinton shook Finn’s hand, couldn’t get the camera out fast enough!

The city skyline from piedmont park….and what you can’t see because we lost the feed, but there is a big black screen in the trees there that we were able to watch the races from while picnicking in the grass/shade!
And the track from the bottom
This is totally legal.
