We decided to go to Niagara Falls tonight and play tourists for a little while.
As is typical with anything we do these days, it was a comedy of errors. I get Matthew out of his carseat and discover a poopy diaper blowout (which explains why Matthew is wearing a sleeper in the pictures). Lovely stuff to deal with when you’re 20 minutes away from home and a long time away from going back.
After we get both kids loaded up and head towards the falls, we discover Ian loves riding in his stroller so much that unfortunately he doesn’t really appreciate us stopping to take pictures or to look around. Always gotta be on the move.
[insert big eye roll here]
Mike and I managed to have fun and get some good pictures despite the two little stinkers.

Yankees fan or Cubs fan, you decide:
Me with a THRILLED Ian and a sleeping Matthew:
What Ian really wanted to at the Falls…get down on the ground and play cars. Yes, he’s LITERALLY right beside the Falls and couldn’t care less:
We had a good time and we’ll have to go back again soon!
…just my boys doing what they do best:
Playing in the backyard
Ian has gotten much better about staying in the backyard. He likes his sandbox….and he calls the sand “sugar”. He also loves getting his little construction vehicles and digging under the bush-tree next to the patio. Today we got out the chalk board and we also played with Play Doh on the picnic table.
Super smiles
Today Matthew was a big smiler. He smiled a bunch for Daddy (finally!!! yay!!!) and then smiled a ton for Grammy and Papaw. He wasn’t in a super good mood when I took this picture but isn’t he adorable in his little outfit?!?! Looks like he’s ready to go to the beach. 🙂
To get Ian to sit with his brother, I asked him to read his book to Matthew……this is what I got.

Ian telling me “GREEN, MOMMA!!!!”:
Aren’t they cute? 🙂
Matthew’s christening gown…isn’t he pretty? 🙂
Matthew in the outfit he’s wearing for his 3 month pictures in September. Let’s hope it fits in a month!!!!
Hopefully he’s in a better mood for his pictures. This is his “why the hell are you taking my picture instead of feeding me” look. 🙂
