Conversation overheard:

Cameron: Hudson, don't eat your shirt.

Hudson: But I want to eat my shirt.

Cameron: We spend lots of good money for you to have nice clothes and we don't want you to eat them.

(Erin: It ruins them, honey.)

Cameron: If you're hungry, tell us and we'll get you some food to eat.

Hudson: But I want to eat shirts.

Cameron: Then get one of your old shirts to eat. But, I want you to eat the whole thing.

Hudson: No, it will make me sick.

Cameron: Then don't eat your shirts.

Hudson: But I want to eat shirts.

Practice makes perfect...

Yesterday at the toy store, Hudson and Sawyer got the classic plastic pumpkins to go trick-or-treating with this year. When we got home they said that they needed to practice for Halloween. These are the costumes they pieced together...

I love Sawyer in this wig.



Hudson sporting his old Nacho Libre cape.



This is when Sawyer started playing peek-a-boo with the wig.



Don't worry... we'll intervene before Halloween :)

We like cheese.

Nice!

President Eyring has an iphone. And he downloads apps. That is cool on so many levels. Just sayin'.

My little shadows...

...follow me around every time I sit down to do anything on my computer or read any sort of book. Today I sat down at our little table by the window to write a letter to Kevin, and within a minute Hudson and Sawyer stopped what they were happily playing with and ran over to squeeze themselves in the tiny space between my chair and the wall. Oh, just because :) I grabbed my phone to snap their picture in the moment. Although I may miss having lots of personal space at times, I wouldn't trade these guys for anything.

At the park...

The boys were playing with some friends we saw at the playground today, when suddenly the elephant fountains turned on. They all decided to get soaking wet in their long jeans and long-sleeved shirts (it was in the 60s when we left the house...). Then when one boy got to take off his wet clothes, they ALL wanted to take off their wet clothes and then we were left with lots of pale skin and sneakers :)

Rocks are fun.

The boys and I take walks by the river a lot. There's one area full of landscape rocks that we usually pass on by. However, last week I learned that we are missing out on one of the best little boy attractions down there. Throwing rocks, carrying rocks around, building rock houses and towers, and trying to run and throw them in the river before Mom will stop me (Sawyer). They loved it. I'm sure we will spend much more time in the rock patch from now on.






(Sawyer carried around this letter "B" all day...)

I love when people do cool stuff on a grand scale, just for fun :)

Yesterday, San Francisco transformed its famous "crooked" Lombard street into an enormous Candy Land board to celebrate Candy Land's 60th birthday. How cool is that?



Kids from a children's hospital and a for-kids non-profit organization got to play the giant board.



At the end, everyone got to eat this amazing birthday cake.
