Face Painting

I guess the boys had never had their face painted before! We went to a fundraiser and they had face painting. These pix are at the end of the night, so their faces have been smeared some, but Jake had scales on his face like a reptile and Josh was supposed to be Batman!!

Batman & Robin

The boys love, love, love Batman and Robin. Whenever they play, Jake is always Batman and Josh is Robin! The boys had saved up some money, and decided to order costumes off the internet. After lots of anxious waiting and checking the mail, the costumes finally arrived(:

Atypical Mother's Day

Somehow our Mother's Day celebration ended up being camping. I guess we will have to celebrate Mother's Day in June - ha, ha. The boys had a blast and the weather was perfect! It is amazing how we have hundreds of toys at our house, yet the boys are so content and so happy out in the woods with none of them!
