Hall of mirrors

This blog is a mixture of our travel adventures and our new family adventures.
The title comes from a dumb blonde high school girl on a tour with us in Versailles who asked this question in every single room of the Palace.
The picture was taken while on our Honeymoon in China, on the Xian river.

Cinci Fun

(I'll try to resize the pictures when I'm on a computer.  I'm on my phone now)
The boys has a ton of fun this weekend in Cincinnati.  One more week before school starts!
We tried to use our Natural History museum passes to get into Cincinnatis museum, but it was closed for renovation.    They let us into the Children's museum for free though!  It's been a few years since we've last been, so, yay! Tons of fun!
Add a trip to Toys r Us for some weiner dog toys and zip lining and motorcycles into the mix and it was great fun!
Ares and atlas built a table with blocks.  They decided to make chairs and pretend food.
Atlas' chair worked well, as long as anyone other than him tried to sit in it.

Photo Dump - Twins Day, Party, & Random



 

 





 

We  had Ares get a tutor for handwriting.   I think it worked. I hope it stays.  The tutoring was a few hundred dollars over the summer.


Went with mom and aunts to paint ceramics. It was a groupon.  I had no idea how hard it was to get stripes even.  I also had no idea how crazy detailed my aunts are (aside, from Aunt Dana of course, who forgot to come).  It took them FOREVER to decide on colors, shapes, sizes, designs.  I ended up leaving after sitting around waiting for them to finish. 

This is my favorite drawing Ares has done (aside from the penis spaceships).  He doesn't like this one, but I absolutely adore it.

The dog gets no photo love.  So here's one.  HE gets plenty of love and cuddles though.

Quintessential little boy.  PJ's, dragging a super hero behind him.


We had a party with friends.  Adam made Paella, and the kids played with water balloons, the swing set, and chased a remote control car around the circle.   Good times!
