Wrapped Canvas
Ok, I have found a new favorite photography display item. REALLY love the look of this. It is a photo printed (in my case BIG at 45×31) on actual canvas which is then stretched around the back of the wooden frame. So you can even see the picture on the side as it wraps. Hung it up in the den. Am looking forward to doing some more. If you are interested in one, let me know. I’ll hook you up.

computer time
It seems as though I am getting pushed off the computer more and more often. The big boys love those Webkinz and that takes a lot of time. And they hover until I get off and they can log on. I mean really HOVER. It’s irritating- so much so that I just let them on. Then Timmy gets in on the act and likes to watch some of the stuff off YouTube. I saved Wishes from WDW, scenes from Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin (that would be the Buzz ride at Disney), Lime in the Coconut (say co-anut) by Kermit on the Muppet Show, my favorite…Mahna Mahna from the Muppet show, and the theme song from Josie and the Pussycats, all of which he loves and watches numerous times a day. And then makes me sing them later. So here he is at the "coputer" watching one of the above.

home decor and car shots
Not much to report from the weekend. The boys had their last soccer game for the season today, the weather was bad, and there was a birthday party. All leading to no beach for the wknd. Oh well. We will definitely be down next weekend for fathers day brunch at the very least.
As promised, here are some shots of my scrapbook room and the other huge window I used for a photo. Some other stuff from the scrapbook room including some altered clipboards of the boys, some of the photo stuff on the shelves. Oh, and Timmy’s newest thing is playing in the car (don’t worry, I am always right there to supervise, the car is off, and there are no keys anywhere near the car-they are in the house). It’s always an adventure getting in the next time to see what turns on when I start the car like the wipers, or the hazzards, or the radio on 100 volume.
And I am really, really, really dissapointed with the ending to the Sopranos. I hate loose ends. I can’t believe that’s it.

a whole lot of games
The big boys and Daddy have been to mets games 2 nights in a row this week. They are exhausted!!! Not getting home til 10:45pm both nights, no sleep (til Brooklyn) until 11pm, up at 8 for school. But they have really been troopers-even tried to con me into watching the Mets tonight on TV instead of reading and going to bed. Here’s a recent pix of them. Don’t ask about Jack’s A’s paint-I don’t know! He really is a mets guy.

And here is a picture of Timmy the Pirate. He loved this shirt we picked up at H&M and wouldn’t let go of it the rest of the day. He likes to stick his papi (pacifier)over his eye (like an eyepatch) and say "aaaarrrrgggghhh". Then yell "Mr. Smee". The kid cracks me up.

timmy things
just some stuff timmy is doing or saying these days that I want to remember:
how bout mores?
everything with any slight resemblance to a castle is automatically "cinderella castle". this includes climbing structures, churches, the top of the boys school.
c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
gives real kisses all the time. gives great hugs. Loves his brothers so much. "pick up boys".
kisses your boo-boos and gives you a hug so you feel better. "i kiss it".
talks about the Buzz Lightyear ride every single day, still.
asks to watch Toy Story every single day (at least once).
says "coach graeme" every time he wears his Liverpool shirt.
Space ship shoes
always wants to go higher on the swings
working on giving up the car papi (it broke cause he chewed it to death and I haven’t replaced it yet).
loves to play outside.
hates circle time at school and at tumbles. Dosen’t want to sit and particpate, would rather run.
knows and recognizes almost every letter in the alphabet, numbers 1-10 too.
loves the beach. sleeps like crazy after a day there. mommy therefore loves the beach too. loves the pool as well-even when it’s freezing.
calls the sunroof the "woo-hoo", as in "open the woo-hoo, mommy".
asks for nappy-papi when tired. can’t beat a kid who asks for a nap!
still lets me rock him to sleep for naps. i will miss that terribly when it’s over.
cuddles in bed in the mornings-if he’s up early enough, he will go back to sleep with me.
knows how to turn on/off the TV. Loves MickeyMouse Clubhouse. Loves to watch Mahna-Mahna, Lime in the Coconut (ie co-a-nut), Josie and the Pussycats theme song on the computer.
I comin’ down. Climb, climb. I did it! Waddle, waddle, waddle (along with proper movements). Mommy do it. Says "shhhhhh" when he dosen’t like what you are saying or doing.
Is a very happy, good natured, sweet boy almost all the time. But can throw a real good fit when things don’t go his way.
says “cheers”, not only for drinks, but for anything that he has and you have the same (ie. towels in the bathroom.
“one to mommy, one to timmy”
