We've been promising Ryan that we'd take him bowling for a couple of weeks now, so we attempted to follow through on that promise on Sunday. We took the boys to Stars & Strikes only to find that all of the lanes were taken up by numerous birthday parties. Ryan was bummed for about 3.5 seconds until we told him he could play in the arcade instead. He found his niche with "the popcorn game", he played about 20 times only stopping to play skee ball once in a while. He racked up a whopping 213 tickets so we proceeded to the prize counter and got...a slinky. Yup, that's right, $30 goes into the machines and you get to leave with a 25 cent slinky.
Luke didn't get to play....but he's been busy with other things, like perfecting his smile!
OK, I know I've recently mentioned Ryan's stubborn phase so I won't get back into it, but lately every time I try to get him dressed his immediate response is "no, I'll do it myself". Yesterday I made the mistake of letting him wear his knight helmet to Target (yes, people stared!). Has everyone seen Big Daddy? Ryan reminds me of the boy in that movie-I now fear he will soon want to be called "Frankenstein" :)
Anyway, this morning I tried to dress him so that we could go shopping and as usual he wanted to do it himself. Here, ladies and gentlemen, is Ryan dressing himself. Don't worry, I didn't take him out looking like this!

I kind of like his fashion sense...a throwback to chivalry. To further feed his obsession...I was just in Target today (the one in East Cobb) and they had LOTS of knight stuff in the dollar bins--I LOVE THE BINS. Frames, cups, plates, toys, etc. I'm sure they have them at other Targets.
PS...Loving Lucas' smile!!!
Oh my Jessica...that made me laugh. I can't believe how much Lucas looks like Ryan. Love his little smile.

How did Lucas grow so much since Thursday?!? Such a cutie. Love his sweet little smile. Can't wait to see him again!! :)
LOL, love the hat Ryan. I totally would have taken him out dressed like that. :)
Cute photos, How has Lucas been? Did you get that book? As for Ryan, all I can say is I'm sure it will pass and as my mom always tells me, "pick your battles".
First of all...Lucas is getting so big...and even more adorable! Is that possible?!? Secondly, I love Ryan's outfit! Perhaps he can wear that if you guys come down for Kate's party...okay, maybe not. :)
