Both boys have come up with their own pronounciation of FRANKENSTEIN. we love it. let us know which one you prefer. FINKENSTEIN is the preffered pronounciation of Dominic while Dez mixes it up with FRANKENSTYLE. Dez loves to dance Gangham Style (is that what they teach him at preschool?) so i don't blame his pronounciation preference.
Dez lovin the cool headsets at the doctor's office- future dj?
The Manhattan Beach Hometown fair was this weekend and starts off with a 10K run. Unfortunately, this is the 3rd year in a row that Paul and I haven't run it. hoping to break the chain next year! The highlight of the fair was not the drunk pirates performing their inappropriate pirate show for the children, or the sad magician that appears to have had a life full of disappointment, it was the balloon guy who made a shield, a helmet & sword for Dez.
Beach anyone? Surfer orange sunblock- aka war paint!
Some of my friends hate this place called SCOOTER'S JUNGLE. i can see why, it is essentially a bunch of bouncies and tunnels for little ones to explore and it can end in a cage match amongst the kids with the parents muttering under their breath as we try to squeeze into places small enough only for toddlers.
I am truly shocked of the aggresive nature of the slide in the below picture. it is 2 stories high and has this plastic sheet on the top so kids fly off the bottom. i took dominic down it once and accidentally touched my elbow on the side and it literally took off 2 layers of my skin. Dez doesn't seem to have that problem and can spend 1+ hours slidding down-
It must have been around 76 degrees and Dez wanted to wear the cool Italia jacket Aunts Missy, Ann & Sarah brought back from Italy. he paired the jacket with these black halloween glow in the dark gloves, crossed his arms and struck a pose.
Dez and his lovely goofiness! We are having such a fun time together and this picture was after a day of soccer, swimming with his friend and then a playdate at our house in a "jumpi-haus." Although exhausted, he still doesn't sleep past 6 a.m. Seriously! As long as he is happy, i am not going to complain. Yes, that is a knife he is holding. no parental judgement right?
Dominic doesn't enjoy watching Dez play soccer and usually runs onto the field. Dominic is frankly better than most of the kids in Dez' soccer class. This shirt is supposed to be for 2 year olds and you can see his belly hanging out. He has his own sense of style and who are we to squelch that? although, the more he looks like a frat boy, the more i cringe.
Still haven't cut his hair. I just can't bring myslef to do it! Dominic loves to play tennis and walks around the house with
Ann arranged a trip to Slimmons (the Richard Simmons workout studio) to help me laugh my way through my bday. We had a blast as you can tell from these pictures. Richard took the wig off during the "work-out" portion of the class but quickly put it back on for pictures! Too bad we didn't get a picture of his sequenced gown that he wore at the beginning of class, perfect for a 10 a.m. work out!
