Touch-A-Truck

Today was Decatur's annual "Touch-A-Truck" event where the city brings together firetrucks, police cars, tractors, and lots of other big wheels for kids to climb on, "drive," blow the horns, and even sound the sirens. We were glad to have Grandma Jenny join us. It was during naptime, so the boys were pretty cranky, but a truckin' we went in spite of it.

This face pretty much sums up Noah's attitude for the day. Mm-hmm. Where all little contrarians end up if they don't listen to Mommy - the back of a police car. Ben was all too happy to drive him off to the slammer.

The boys did manage to have some fun behind all those BIG wheels ...

If I had recorded sound, you'd hear Noah screaming for a turn at the wheel in about every picture of both of them ... aaaaahh, brotherly love.

We have a new house!

Okay, not really, it just feels like it! We've done a few projects on our house over the last couple of weeks, foremost being new paint. It's needed to be done for years, and we're so excited to no longer live in a peach house! It made sense to do the yard, deck and fence at the same time, so the boys will have a backyard to play in this summer - we're really looking forward to that.

Once the grass grows in, the boys will have a fun play space.

Tonight we decided to "christen" the deck with a picnic dinner. Ben and Noah swept up afterward.

Cutest little deck hands ever.
