Say Cheese!

The title of this post is because every time Luke is in front of a camera recently, he makes this face and he says, "Say Cheese!" instead of just "Cheese!". He does that with "please" also. Anytime he wants something he says, "Say Please!". So Mom, do you still think he looks like Bill Murray?

Luke's 2nd Birthday

For Luke's second birthday we went to Boondocks and let the boys go mini bowling. They absolutely loved it, especially Luke! He would roll the ball so softly that it stopped a couple times and I had to go get it.

I didn't post any pictures of presents because he had his back to me the whole time, so none of them turned out. He loves his new toys though! He got some clothes, lots of legos, some new trucks, and tools that he has been carrying around the house to fix stuff. I made the cake and it turned out so cute!

The inside is the coolest part!

I got the idea for the cake from this pin. Happy Birthday Big Boy!

Happy Birthday Luke!

Homemade Playdough

This week, we made playdough! I actually pinned this one before, but this recipe calls for Jello and I didn't have any, so I used this tutorial instead. It turned out perfectly.

The recipe is great. The dough actually has kept better than real playdough so far. And even though the boys don't really look excited in these pictures, they played with that dough for at least two hours straight!

Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween! This year William dressed up as Spiderman, which he had been planning for months. He even made me get him some gloves "so he could shoot webs."

I couldn't think of anything for Luke, so at the last minute we got him this costume, but we made it way better.

We rigged up a fake pair of legs to make it look like he was a boy riding a dinosaur, instead of just growing out of the dinosaur's back. You can see what I mean from this picture. Luke didn't love how bulky it was, but it was pretty hilarious to see him waddle around like a pregnant lady. And he did get lots of compliments trick or treating.

Luke was pretty fed up with it by the end of the night, but Spidey had a blast the whole time. I just realized I didn't get any pictures with the mask on, but he's cuter without it anyway.
