Last Days of Summer

To all of you loyal readers out there I have to apologize for my tardiness in blogging. I would love to say that I have been too busy to blog, but it has just been pure laziness on my part. We have been enjoying the last few weeks of summer before Ethan starts preschool 3 days a week. He has been attending just 2 days and he has definitely shown me that he needs more structured activities and interaction with kids his age. Although I'm sad he's growing up too fast, I'm excited for him.

Earlier this week I took Ethan to the Lied's Discovery Children's Museum in North Las Vegas. I have been wanting to take him for a long time and I got the chance to meet up with some other moms and their kids. We started off on a bit of a scary note when Ethan decided to take off into the museum by himself. We immediately alerted security and they locked the building and began the search. After what felt like an eternity, we found him playing on one of the exhibits upstairs without a care in the world. I have never been so scared and felt so nauseous in my entire life! After that little incident, we spent about 2 hours in the museum. Ethan's favorite thing was the mini recording studio of course. He sang two songs and loved hearing himself when they played it back. What do you think? American Idol 2009?

That same afternoon, we took the boys to Esselmont Park to burn off some energy. The boys are all over the place now which of course makes it 100 times more challenging to keep up with them. We got several cute shots of them playing in the big tunnel together.

The next day we met some friends at the Artful Potter. It's a little paint your own pottery place. Ethan loves anything that has to do with music and art, so this was a perfect activity for him.

I took this photo this evening when the twins were finishing dinner. I thought it captured their playful sides. They are such good buddies and it has been so fun to watch them interact and play with one another. I can't believe they are already 15 months old!
