Owen has been drawing on his MagnaDoodle alot lately. I have started taking pictures of his creations because I am rebelling against the temporary nature of the MagnaDoodle, whose essence it is to erase and create anew. Blah Blah Blah.
Here is how Owen describes each of his works.
"This is a superhero. See his cape?"
"This is a cat. A guy on Yo Gabba Gabba showed me how to draw a cat like this."
(Apparently, that show really is whack. I mean, I always suspected it, but now we have proof in the form of a seven-legged cat.)
"This is me in a car going to Harry's house to see Nana."Enough said.
Jack laughed gleefully the entire time we were outside!
The biggest kid of all! My Valentine! Both our boys have fever, and he had to go out of town today anyway, so we will be celebrating next weekend. I did get a present today though from here: 
Then she'll roll over so you can scratch her belly...
...and so will your son.
So you'll try again...
So you'll give up on the dog silhouette. You'll use a random scrap of cardboard as a cutting mat. Then your oldest son will ask, "Why is Jack wearing a girl belt?"
And you'll say, "Oh! Good eye, Owen!"
When you're finished, you'll step back and think, "Who are these little boys, and where did my babies go?"
They also got instruments, games, pirates, and so much other stuff. We went to my dad's, my mom's, Nick's parents, and had Santa here. The rest of our Christmas break has been spent sorting toys for babies (Owen has had fun picking out which toys are "baby toys" and need to be given away - it's all in what you call it). 
Sweet little boys. Jack hates his puffer vest. Nick and I tried to show him that Owen had one on too, but he just pouted, "It's not the same!" In the end, we won, and he wore it to church. It's the small victories, people. 
We had ice cream cake, a Strawberry Shortcake theme, and wedding punch. That was way back when my BFF Rachel still lived here! 
The only thing missing was Nick. He was at Niagra Falls that day with his band. Were we babies then, or what?!
In addition to many awesome presents (trucks, bathtoys, clothes, a sleeping bag) Owen got a drumset for his birthday! He is quite talented, if I do say so myself. He does an amazing cover of "We Will Rock You" in addition to originals such as "I Just, I Just Love You" and "Stupid."
