Let's go fly a kite.......

We went to the beach Friday to fly a kite. The weather here is perfect! A little cool at night and in the morning, but great during the day. It took us a while to find a kite. It always in season here, but for some reason the stores don't sell them. We made one last attempt at a store right by the beach and we were successful!

Miles flying his kite.

Peek-a-boo

Oh......the mind of a three year old.

Miles has great one liners' or stories. Today he said "mom, I love you so much. I'm not going to ask God for a new mom." Well, that's good to know!

The other day he asked me if it was going to snow in GA when we go there for Thanksgiving. I told him I didn't think so, but that he could pray about. He stopped what he was doing, closed his eyes, and bowed his head. He said "dear God can you make it snow at my Grammy's house. Thanks God." I said "what did God say?" Miles said "God said yes". I said "how do you know?" and he said "well you can't hear him because he's way up high." I said "how did you hear him and he said he speaks to me in my heart." I said what else did God say. Expecting something equally as profound and Miles said "God said oh man, now I have to go get the snow people." 

One last story. Miles and I went to a garage sale one day. Yesterday, out of the blue, Miles said mommy I don't want to have a garage sale. Then he said, well we can have one, but I only want to sell Gavin's things. Oh......the mind of a three year old. 

Cupcake

Gavin learned to say the word cupcake. Below are pictures of him wearing his cupcake. Yesterday I threw the last two cupcakes away and I stepped outside to pay our lawn man and I came back in to find Gavin eating the cupcake out of the trashcan!! Now that is gross! These are not the pictures of him eating that cupcake b/c I obviously did not let him finish it!! Gavin is a bit mischievous.

I took Miles to his first dentist appointment today. Miles has always been a bit timid with new things, but he went into the event excited. All was well until she started polishing his teeth. He then proceeded with some crocodile tears. In the end the dentist said it was successful because he was able to look in his mouth and check things out, but we did not get a full cleaning and ex-rays. We will take this process in steps. I have to admit I remember as a kid hiding from my dentist. They had an upstairs play house with only a small ladder to get up there. Anyhow, I climbed up and refused to come down. Whose idea was it to put the play space up high anyhow? I eventually came down after a lot of coaxing and threats from my mom!! Overall, I think Miles did pretty good. He was excited to come home with an electric toothbrush. I was at Target today checking out the 75% off candy(love a sell!!) and Miles said he didn't need any more candy. Apparently, he doesn't want to face the dentist again any time soon.

What??

Miles loves posing for the camera.

Um........good.

Gavin doesn't like dirty hands.

Miles posing.......again.

Gavin being thoughtful.

Halloween Part One

The reason this is part one is that we took 175 pictures. Love digital cameras!! We went to a fall festival at our church, but we took a ton of photos before we left. I will post the family festival photos a little later. Miles was Batman and as you'll see from the photos he got into character. He had an awesome time. He's been excited about his costume for months. Gavin was a giraffe and he had fun, but I think he just was just tolerating his costume. I love dressing the kids up. They're only little once!!

This is the biggest smile he had in his costume. He wore it like a trouper, but was a little unsure of it all.

Gavin's not sure what's going on! I'm so glad he wore his costume. I was afraid he wouldn't have anything to do with it, but when he saw Miles wearing his and Miles was excited about it he wanted to put his on. He wants to do everything like his big brother.

Look at that tail. This is the last year I can get away with this kind of costume on Gavin.

Striking a pose.

I've got the power.

My boys!

Watch out..........I'm Batman!
