Introducing the New Mr. & Mrs. Dugas!

We celebrated Jeff (Eric's brother) and Martha's wedding this weekend. It's hard to believe that more than a year has already passed since they got engaged. The weather forecast for the weekend called for rain all weekend. A bit of a bummer but what can you do since you can't control the weather. However, Saturday came around and it turned out to be a great day..a little on the warm side but most importantly...no rain!

We ate and danced the day away and had a blast. All of Jeff and Martha's hard work planning paid off. It was a perfect day!

Congratulations Jeff and Martha! We are so happy for you guys!!

Will was one of the ring bearers in the ceremony. I was a little unsure of whether he would walk down the aisle but he did great! We were so proud of him.

Papi was the only one that could get Jack dressed in his tux. I tried and Jack kicked and screamed. Papi tried and Jack stood still and didn't say a word the entire time. Thank goodness for Papi!

We were so proud of Will. He walked down the aisle like such a big boy and once he got to the end he gave Eric a big hug.

A little Something for the Teachers

I was in a major cookie mood last week. I think I mentioned it before, but I recently discovered my inner cookie obsession. I have been making so many cookies since discovering this that if I continue to keep them in the house, Eric, the kids and I will quickly gain 25 pounds each. So to continue satisfying my cookie craving, I decided to make some apple cookies for all the teachers at Will and Jack's daycare as a little "Happy September" gift...40 cookies in total. Here are the results.....

Flower Children

First off, I am a little embarrassed to post yet another blog entry where my children are in nothing but their underwear. It is pretty much near impossible to keep clothes on these boys so I've basically stop fighting the issue because it is a losing battle. :-( I guess there could be much worse things than two little boys running around in their under roos all the time.

We were eating dinner the other night and the two of them thought it would be fun to pick my flowers and put them in their hair. They also equated flowers to dancing and started twirling around the porch. Dancing half-naked boys with flowers in their hair....should I be concerned? :-)

Art Project Gone Wrong

I try to be a crafty mom every once in a while. It usually isn't very often because the effort it takes to get everything ready and then the clean up afterwards takes more time than the actual project itself. Last time was body painting so this time I decided we would try to make dinosaur sock puppets. The project started off well until we discovered that nothing would stick to the socks since I bought the wrong glue (oops). I had been hyping up this project all morning so I had to come up with a plan B quickly in order to keep everyone happy. So instead of sock puppets, we decided to cut dinosaur shapes out of the felt and paint them so we could make magnets for the fridge. This seemed to satisfy Will so I quickly cut out a few dinosaurs so we could get started. As I watched Will meticulously paint his dinosaur......

.......Jack decided it would be more fun to paint himself.

And boy did he think this was hysterical.

This is good but it would look so much better.......

On my head!!!

I had to cut things off once Jack started eating the table cloth.

Well, I guess this is my fault for introducing body painting to a 1.5 year old. Painting yourself is apparently much more fun than painting a boring old piece of paper. Looks like our next art project will not include painting.
