Shaz by the Sea

What a fun week in first grade!!! This week focused on lots of ‘reading’ themes for “Read Across America Week” On Monday, the boys brought their favorite book to school (virtually).  They each brought a different book from Elephant and Piggie series. On Tuesday, it was Culture day. We read a few book based on our culture, and other things that make us “us”. For example, I read “Good Morning Cape Cod” which talks about US history and Plymouth Rock. On Wednesday, they dressed up as their favorite book character. And today they dressed as 100 year old versions of themselves for the 100th day of school! Look at my little old men! We also did haircuts mid week!  On Wednesday, Conor and Caden dressed as “Harold” from Harold and the Purple Crayon; Auntie Chrissys favorite book. Two highlights with my other two favorite guys this week: “Hanging” with Papa - yes, Conor is in the red haha.  Reading with Dad - keeping the theme of the week alive.  Have a great weekend! xo, Shaz...

"We're brothers forever...what more can we say? Our friendship is special in so many ways...." The boys are absolutely obsessed with books. Their favorite (coincidentally Mommy's favorite too) is called "Brothers Forever". C and C love this book, it's is so adorable. It's the perfect length. Age appropriate. The photos capture their attention. They are always pointing at objects while I am reading. I've talked with a few friends and cousins who have kids the same age and they are obsessed with books too. It must be something about this age and learning to listen and talk. Anyway, I just did a quick search of the author P.K. Hallinan and found all these other books  he authored. You know, just a few Christmas ideas for C and C! ;)  I am honestly reading this book in all these pics..... We can't forget some fall, outside, swing-set, and wagon pics. Daycare Art Projects: Since I know we sadly can't...

Bathtime. Is there really any happier or cuter time of day?? I don't think so. The boys love taking a bath and it's a relaxing down time for Jimbo and I, too.  Look how happy they are!! They love it!   On Tuesday, we bought ourselves some brand new Elmo's for our first birthday in a few weeks. We were at the store and just couldn't resist. The bright red color and the soft material were screaming their name. :) One of Caden and Conor's favorite things to do is stand in front of all the windows in our house and look outside. It helps now that the weather is GORGEOUS and the windows are almost always open. I love how the windows are so low, because they're the perfect height for the boys to safely look out. Caden reading a book with Mama...and Conor listening in. We can't wait to visit Cape Cod sometime next month! And ALL summer long! :)  My mom bought the boys these adorable summer outfits. I love the little "romper" look, the one...
