"look boys there it is", i say pointing out the front window of the car.  "where", they replied stretching their little bodies to see better while still strapped in their car seats.  "what do you mean where, you can't miss it" !!

we visited the newly opened central library located downtown today, and we all agreed it looks a bit more like a castle rather than a library.  

we were up for an exploration and found a really cool children's library tucked away at the end of the hall down stairs.  

the tall black curvy chairs are nice for lounging...

the step seats are fun for climbing...

the computers are full of  awesome games for kids....

ok now, i need to  brag really quick.  after we went to the library we went to mcdonalds play land for lunch.  while we were their i had two different adults come over to my table and  tell me how polite and well mannered seany was!!   woot woot!!!   i'm so proud of him :o)

better late than never!  i remembered to embrace the camera this week with who else? my boys of course!!

it was my birthday on wednesday and the boys requested we go out to lunch before preschool.  i said sure and asked them where they wanted to go?  at seany's request we ate at white castles since he had a craving for cheese fries.  best birthday lunch ever! if only i could bottle up the conversations we have these days...too cute for words :-)

 the boys and i met my sister and her kids along with paw paw and we headed to the lake last weekend!  i made it a point to embrace the camera with my boys.

the boys had a great time playing with their cousins, and i'm convinced vito was determined to make my life miserable. saying he was horrible would be an understatement and i'm choosing not to document the details in hopes i will  forget it ever happened...doubt it :-(

here are a few pics from our trip...

happy thursday!  linking up with http://andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com/
