Can't wait for summer holidays

We had a pretty fun Sunday....pancake breakfast...wading pool fun time...lunch at the mall...a shopping trip with NO tears (hooray!)...we played in the backyard...Muss. Matea had a SUPER nap...and we had a DELICIOUS BBQ rib supper at Nana & Bampi's (and we got to take home ALL the leftovers!)

But guess what?

I didn't take any pictures of it!

So you will be stuck looking at the M & M's having some swimming pool fun on Friday :)

Who doesn't need a pool with a volcano, a crocodile, and some other thing that all shoot water?

it's like the M & M's own little obstacle course!

The DO like to play together!

Miss. Matea trying to "stay out of the way of the water" 

I don't know if she really "got it"

But she sure did have fun!

okay be BRUTALLY honest...

does Miss. Matea's new tank top make her tummy look big?

wait for it....

she is pretty cute...and round :)

Really?

Here is the story....Nana babysits the M & M's while Bob and I are working (eternal thanks), and apparently they have been rooting around the house making their own musical instruments out of pots and pans, and spoons....and raw spaghetti noodles?!?  Yep that was Big Mack's big idea today...spaghetti noodle drumsticks.

So the Nana & the Bampi brought over some presents tonight....really loud presents, let's just say the M & M's have formed their own band, and there is no longer a need for raw spaghetti noodle drumsticks.

Bampi rocking the harmonica, Matea on drums, and Big Mack on the tambourine!

Okay...seriously who is having the most fun in this picture?

I really think he might have a future as a musician

Miss. Matea "playing" (she just tried to eat it the whole night) the harmonica

Nana and Matea

And then,

what we will refer to as "The Drumstick" War of 2010 happened

Matea going in for the drumsticks - she is very "stealthy", right?

"Mine, mine, mine"

"No Matea, mine, mine, mine"

And then....the M & M's were separated, and Mommy made an impromptu drumstick out of a super cool dollar store spatula!

Mommy of the Year!

thanks Nana & Bampi

This time last year....

June 24, 2009 - fun times

We were sooo cute...well we still are.

He looks so young to me.

She has no hair!

I love these posts

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!

okay so...yesterday morning I was feeding Miss. Matea some oatmeal and the C-U-T-E-S-T thing happened...it was so cute I have to yell (all CAPS) about it :) 

Matea was getting a little tired of oatmeal so I was getting her some apple....and this photo sessions ensued!

Awww....

Look how pumped Mack is

Cute, right?

The M & M's are funny...

Exhibit A - Big Mack

We have 4 pools in our backyard...4!  At any given time there are at least 2 on the go (spoiled, I know) on this particular day there was a sprinkler AND 2 pools out in the backyard....and this was the Big Mack's Big IDEA :) 

HILARIOUS!

Exhibit B : Miss. Matea

Adorable, right?

Welcome to Matea's future modelling career :)

Super Zoo fun time

Get Ready for "Picture-Pa-Looza"

He looks so happy :)

M & M's on a boat!

This is a picture of Miss. Matea thinking hard about escaping from her stroller

M &M's on a train

Looking for the tiger...

Yikes!  Watch out Mack!

Super gross giant snake.

He was CRAZY, in love with this display!

Mack: "Mommy can we make some pancakes?"

Me: "Nope not with these eggs, and not in the middle of the zoo."

Mack: "How about some cupcakes?"

Me: "The answer is still no baby."

The following are pictures of The Schurman Family doing
