another long weekend

pirate jack, with brandon in a baby headlock
caught jack in mid-raspberry and brandon in mid-love
kisses from jack, hugs from brandon
this one either makes brandon look tiny or jack look huge, lol

*we had another long, busy weekend. on friday we ran out to la cantera and the rim to return some things. the boys were great and we had a nice evening. i realized once we got there that i only had the single big stroller in my car and thought brandon would like to walk holding hands. i was wrong, of course, and he wanted to ride in the stroller with jack. i reclined the back of the stroller and put jack towards the back, sitting up, brandon sat up front. they were so cute in it together. jack was sitting so well, holding on to the side with his little hand, people watching. we had dinner at red robin and ran a few errands as well. at target brandon really wanted to get a toy but we wouldn't let him because he wouldn't eat his grilled cheese sandwich at dinner. stubborn child!

*on saturday jason and i went out for a real date! his sister, hannah, and her adorable boyfriend, brian, came and watched the kids. they are the cutest couple! jason and i went to eat on the riverwalk at casa rio. we had huge margaritas and actually sat outside right next to the water. downtown was really busy! after that we went to the movies and saw "the strangers". it was sooo scary but seeing scott speedman was totally worth it :D we were pretty zonked out by the time we got home. old people don't stay out late for a reason ;)

*sunday we mostly stayed home with the kids. brandon and i ran to mcdonalds to get some lunch. in the drive-thru he saw the giant "m" arch on the wall. he pointed to it and said, "mommy, is that a rainbow?". i told him it was the shape of a rainbow and asked him what letter it was. he knew and quickly responded, "it's an m!". he's getting so good at recognizing his letters! in the early evening we (yes, all four of us) went *swimming* in the backyard blow-up pool. we had dinner, then ran to get some ice cream. brandon had ice cream everywhere! it was all on the side of his face and even on his knees somehow. once it got really melty we had to take it away, it was getting everywhere. "mommy, i need a baby wipe". so, i got him one and cleaned him up but then he told me, "mommy, go sit over there. i'm eating ice cream". this kid knows what he wants and more and more it's to do everything himself. after dinner we ran to heb so jason could get some things to take for lunch this week. i'm curious to see if he actually remembers them when he leaves in the mornings!

*oooo, i just got an email from the HR lady at work. the issues with my insurance and my OB/GYN have been resolved! i'm still on with them, yay!!!

*i've added pictures of our morning routine. brandon insists on getting in jack's crib with him every morning. they *wrestle* a bit and kiss a bunch. they love each other so much! i think\ jack looks like a pirate in one of them.
