We've got spirit, yes we do...

Last Friday was Spirit Day. Matthew wore his Sharks tee and didn't really know why we had to take more pictures. We couldn't document the whole week minus Friday.

Martha and Ted got these 'coon hats for the boys a while back. Every now and then they'll get them out and wear them when we got out. Yep, they play with them a little bit at home, but apparently they're great for dining at Sweet Tomatoes, their favorite spot to sport them.

Matthew showing off some of his interpretive dance moves. I'll have to tuck this one away for future girlfriends.

Twin Day Twin Day

Today was Twin Day at school. Shockingly, Matthew and his 5 year old buddies didn't discuss dressing up together. I know, crazy. Anyway, since I didn't want him to have to miss a day, Matthew and James dressed up as twins. Note the shades. Matthew loves them. He wears them all the time now.

He was all about this hunched pose today. Not sure why. Tyra would tell him it makes him lose at least 5 inches.

James had Lucky Charms for breakfast this morning. So did his shirt.

This guy is just so cute. And much happier today.

Crazy Hair Day

Today was Crazy Hair Day. We tried a spiky hair 'do, but his hair has gotten a little long and gave him really tall spikes. He wasn't super excited about them, so we slicked his hair down and sprayed it blue. James loved the spikes, but not the blue. So we had one spiky boy and one blue boy. Craziness!

Pure Sock Craziness

It's Spirit Week at Matthew's school.  Today everyone is supposed to wear crazy socks.  Matthew was a little worried that he was wearing "girl" socks (they're mine) and that they were a little too crazy.  Luckily, once we got to school most kids, including the boys, had on long striped socks.  

James didn't want to be left out of the fun.

Even Jacob donned some striped craziness.  

Jacob is a month old now and chunkin' up real good.  He's still a pretty serious little guy, but he smiled at me on Friday for the first time.  The boys still love him, which is good.  The other night as the big boys were getting ready for bed, Matthew wanted to sing a lullaby to Jacob.  So he sat in the rocker and sang the first verse of "I am a Child of God" and then he sang  "Douglas Mountain."  But he made up his own lyrics for little Jacob.  He sang;

"Stars are twinkling over Douglas Mountain

Stars are twinkling so bright

Stars are twinkling over Douglas Mountain

Putting the night sky to sleep

Putting Jacob to sleep."

Yes, I had a few renegade tears.  I love those moments.  Especially at the end of a rough day.
