Haircut just like daddy!

Trevor put his underwear on his head. Silly boy!

Sunday with My Boys

We all woke up very early this morning to drop daddy off at the airport for his business trip. He will be attending conferences in San Diego! Lucky duck!

My parents are currently on the road headed that direction. They will not arrive until tomorrow evening. So, I'm here alone. It's been 2 weeks and a couple days since my tonsil surgery. I went in for my follow-up appointment and he said it just take more time to heal. I feel much better and can eat pretty normal now, but the right side of my throat hurts a lot still. Everything seems to be healing normally though. He said they had to go very deep for my tonsils, so it may take an extra week or two. Yeah! Today is the most I've had to talk. So far, I'm doing fine, it's only 3pm though.

After the early morning airport drop-off, I told the boys it was time to go back to bed when we got home (it was still dark out after all). Cameron went right into his bedroom and Trevor wanted to come in bed with me. Neither went to sleep though, so I gave up after about 20 minutes. We got up, did therapy and breakfast. Then, we watched Mary Poppins for the first time. The kids thought it was funny. They like the animated part the best, of course. After that, I took them both outside to work on their bike-riding skills. Trevor still doesn't understand how to petal and Cameron's training wheels are off, but he is scared to do it without someone holding his seat. After about 20 minutes going between the two of them, I was pretty tired! But, we came inside, got some water, and then packed up for the zoo.

We got there right when it opened, so it wasn't very busy at all! That was nice because Trevor whined the majority of the time we were there. He rubbed his sunblock in his eye and fussed the whole time! Cameron was wonderful. We were able to catch a Sea Lion training and went around looking at all the animals. Cameron really liked the monkeys today. The orangutan was hanging right in the window looking at us and the monkeys were playing around in their area, so it was entertaining to watch. As we were leaving Cameron got a bag of popcorn to eat after his lunch, which he was very excited about! He ate the whole bag himself! Trevor fell asleep in the car on the way home, which is never good, but he stayed asleep all the way to his bed and took a good nap. So far, so good, seems like we've done a lot already and it's only half way through the day!

Happy 30th Birthday Erin!

Cars 2 is Finally Here!

When we were getting our tickets Trevor was trying to tell the lady that he had a Cars shirt on and was pointing and naming all the characters.

Both boys have been excited to see the new Disney-Pixar movie Cars 2 since it came out a week ago. Since it came out the day I got my tonsils came out, I could not go right away. Cameron has asked almost every single day this month if it was the day we get to go. So, this morning, I took my meds and decided I was good enough to sit for a hour and a half in the theater since it's practically across the street from us. Both boys were so excited. This is the first time Trevor has ever been to the movie theater to see a movie and Cameron's 2nd time. I only got them a small popcorn because neither Zach or I were eating it and Cameron killed that bag with no problems. Last time he did a large by himself, I guess I should have gotten more. Cameron was entertained the whole time, hardly said a word except to point out a few characters he was eager to see. Trevor wanted food the whole time and I didn't have enough to last, so he was a little harder. There was an autistic boy in the very front that was about Cameron's age. He ran around the seats the whole time, never sat. Trevor kept saying he wanted to go on the stairs too. That was hard to explain why he couldn't, but the other boy could, but it was okay. Both boys ended up crawling on each of our laps toward the end of the movie. I'm so glad they enjoyed it! There weren't many people at our show either because we went at 10am. We will remember that for next time.

Note to people making children's movies: 2-3 previews is PLENTY! There had to be like 6 and after each one all of the kids wanted to know if Cars was coming on. They don't get that!
