Heros come in all sizes...

We hit the children's museum on Friday with some friends from out of town. Lucas and Jacob hardly ever get to see eachother and they have so much in common...and kinda look alike too.

The boys had a blast in the new comic book heros section.
Two peas in a pod...or superheros in a cab.

Jacob and Lucas out fighting crime!

Captain America to the rescue!

Lilly was just content being a cowgirl.

Future Engineers figuring out Cornhole...

You probably had to be there, but this seriously entertained them for over 20 minutes. They were just talking amoungst themselves and obviously had some sort of mission. This is how I picture the conversation...

Neil: Hey! What do you think that is?

Lucas: Looks like a race car with no wheels.

(Didn't capture the picture of this...but imagine them both sitting on the front of the box pretending to drive).

Neil: A race car can't go anywhere without wheels. Dad? What is this?

Dave: It is a game called cornhole.

Lucas: So, they call this box cornhole? That is weird.

Neil: So how do you think it works?

Lucas: Hmmm....well maybe this is where they keep the corn?

Lucas: I can't find anything.

Neil: Are you sure theres no corn in there?...let ME take a look.

Lucas: Well I am thinking that maybe if I try and climb inside, then I will be able to get a better look at this. I'm going in!

Neil: Allright buddy, I'll cover you!

(Lucas then seriously tried to climb inside but all that fit was his leg. Then I showed them the bean bags and how it really works and I think they were dissappointed.)

Playdates

Maybe it was lack of a deck or just too much going on, but the last two weeks have had more playdates than all summer it seems like. First were the Kearney boys, then Grubb and Elling girls, and tonight Neil came over for a little while.

Playdates are alot of fun for two reasons;

1. the kids get to hang out and play (and get worn out to take good naps)

2. the moms get to sit and gab while the kids entertain themselves...usually.

This is Ethan and Lucas chasing trucks...or Wrigley.
Mr Evan showing off his slide skills.

Miss Piper pushing Miss Ashtin.

Hiding in their "fort" under the Hammock. Lucas was totally outnumbered this day...5 girls and him.

Two train conductors- Neil and Lucas.

And the three man band. (Dave's son a drummer??? Noooooo.)

Actually it was pretty cute tonight b/c everywhere that Lucas and Neil went Lilly was sure to follow...I can see Lucas getting annoyed with that in the near future! (Reminds me of my tag-a-long little sis!)

I love that my friends all have kids the same ages and they all love to play with eachother...I will relish the moments for now I guess!

Car dates at this age??

Well, Miss Piper came over today and her and Lucas had a blast! In and out of the pool, covered in sand, chasing eachother and the dog. The cutest part though was the car ride. First Lucas was driving and Piper was pushing. Then when Lucas wouldn't give up the driver seat for Pipers turn, she just decided that there was room in there for her too! Lucas of course didn't seem to mind the cute blonde sitting next to him...just makes me think of car dates. (Not until they are 16...no make that 20!)
