Being Three

So my littlest one is coloring today- singing to himself- and making all of these dots all over his paper- very strategic in placement...I did not bother him- but rather left him to his work.  When he was finished he showed it to me- saying he was proud of his art, because it was all of his friends.  I told him it was a super drawing...but what exactly is Mommy looking at???

He said- "These are the footprints Mommy- of me and all of my friends- all over the place that we have been, EVER!"

Gotta love a child's mind!

Mario Brothers

We are a family of Mario Kart'rs. From the very early versions of Nintendo- to the Wii of today...Mom, Dad and both kids compete to win that cup! My kids are small- 6 and 3, but have big opinions of what they want to be for Halloween...Nintendo characters of course! Tage always plays Peach or Mario.  We tried on a Peach costume- because he REALLY wanted to be Peach...but the costume was too big- so Mario wins! Dain LOVES Luigi...swears he's the fastest kart there is! Obviously Dain wanted to be Luigi!
So here they are- the Mario Brothers- true to form- Luigi is even taller than Mario- nice!

They are saving the real mustaches for Halloween night- so we make paper ones with sticky tape for play.  And they get lots of play- I have already washed them (they stand up great in the machine) because the kids wear them every day! Gotta love a well loved/worn costume! Yea MarioKart!!!

Happy early Halloween!!!
