A Saturday in iPhone pics

Everyone was happy to sleep in on Saturday, and the rainy weather gave us a nice excuse to just hang around the house for the morning.  The boys took over Daddy's iPhone because he didn't have hundreds of silly face pictures like Mommy's iPhone does.  They did their best to make silly faces, and I snagged a couple of them.    

It was so much fun to stay in our pjs and watch Mickey and college basketball until almost lunchtime!  And now Daddy's phone pictures will be super fun to look at.  I'm willing to bet that Lincoln and Beau can both get to the pictures faster than either of us . . . how do they just know about technology??? 

After lunch and lots of playing, it was time for naps.  Beau is sure that only Lincoln can read his naptime story these days, and they chose the new book Auntie got for Beau.  He loves "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake" almost as much as he loves "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie."   

Lincoln and I made a sneaky trip to the birthday store (that's what Lincoln calls Party City) while Beau finished up his nap, and we picked up few last birthday party things.  The new Play Dough set from Marte and Scooter was super fun this afternoon, and the boys made so many things.  I gave them several lectures about the fact that even though the box says they are making candy, it's not real candy and not for actual consumption.  I'm pretty confident that they got the message and no one ate anything.  Daddy provided a yummy treat after dinner, and the boys got their first Drumsticks ice cream cones.  Lincoln was super excited for about 5 minutes and ran off to play.  Beau was determined to eat the whole thing.  I asked him at least 20 times if he was ready to be done, but each time he responded, "Not finished yet, Mommy!"  He tried his best but finally gave up when the ice cream fell out of the cone on the table.  What a sweet mess!  Daddy told them they each owed him $2.00 for sharing (wasting) his treat, but he accepted two hugs as payment instead.   

I love spending Saturdays together at home, and everyone had so much fun.  Lincoln told me several times that the next time it is Saturday, it will be his birthday.  He's definitely got the countdown going.  The best days at our house means lots of playing, yummy food and tons of fun.
