Shiver me timbers!

Sometimes I wish I could make these two walk the plank! Today is "dress up like a pirate (or mermaid)" day at school. I parenthesized 'mermaid' because I'm sure if it was an option, they might have picked it. Who knows, they could have made cute merfolk! Captian Nolan Sparrow and Long Reed Silver went into school today with their hooks, maps (eyepatches), skully caps and pirate hats, ready for a day at sea! Argh, mateys!!

What's in a name?

You would have thought we put 100 dollar bills in their breakfast as excited as they were to have their names spelled in pancakes. Mmmm, their names have never tasted so good!

Then, half of the Goodloe's came with us to the World Congress Center to watch a national club volleyball tournament. Todd's friend Rob's niece was playing on a team from Houston, Tx. You can vaguely see Victoria in the background of this fast paced photo, #23. After today, they were undefeated! Go Wave!!

Cars 2!

Tonight we took the boys to Studio Movie Grill to see their favorite actor, Lightning McQueen, in action in Cars 2. It was such a cute movie and the boys are already talking about when they are going to get to go see it again. Ka-CIAO!

Twinnie Taco Turs-day

Linde and Leah came to join us for dinner while Ryan and Keely had a swim meet tonight. The boys loooove when their cousins come for any play time!

When it was time to go meet the rest of the Goodloe's at the swim meet, we stopped at Stroup Road to feed the goats! There are tons of new babies and they're so cute!

We made it to the meet to see Ryan's last race. You can see him in the photo below in the white cap. When it was his turn in this relay, he was close to half a body length behind....and he SMOKED the competition! Good job, Ryan!

Introducing...

BATBAN and RAW-BIN!!! Today is "dress as your favorite superhero" day at school and these are the heros the boys picked. I had no idea they even knew who Robin was but Nolan let me know just what colors his shirt and shorts needed to be! I even tried to go old school Batman with Reed having his outfit be gray, but noooooooo! Everything had to be black! Watch out bad guys...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best of the best dad's out there...you know who you are! We had the Goodloe's, Nana, and Poppa over for a swim at our neighborhood pool, then it was off to a "cook-in" (as Keely and Ryan called it) at our house. --We missed you this family day, Halloran's!! It was a great day and I hope the dad's liked being waited on hand and foot ;o) Love y'all!

I "growed-up"

No, we don't mean that he's gotten older...growed-up is synonomous for 'throwed-up' in our house. Tuesday night Nolan came to the edge of our bed and said "mommie, my tummie hurts....BLAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Vomit. All over MY side of the bed. Good thing I'm a middle-of-the-bed-sleeper. It was pretty cute the he kept saying that he had to "grow-up" just seconds before he heaved. So, he got a stay-at-home pass with Daddie yesterday and by mid morning he was feeling 100 times better.
