Purim Carnival and the Snake show

We had a great Purim carnival at our temple. I desperately tried to dress everyone up as I had done in years past, as Purim characters, like Mordechai, King Achashvaros, hamantaschen...but no, this year the boys revolted! So here you see pirate Tyler and skeleton Sam. We are also very snake obsessed here in South Texas, we went to a local playground to see a snake demonstration (would that ever even happen in Boston???), as you can imagine, the boys LOVED it!!!

Sam's Tennis Lesson

We signed Sam up for a few tennis lessons this spring and although he was one of the youngest in the class, he seemed to pick it up very quickly (once he figured out it was a racquet and not a baseball bat).

One More Birthday Celebration

On his actual birthday, we shared an ice cream cake at home, which Tyler absolutely loved! And now we are truly a big 3 year old!

Sharing a bed

Sam and Tyler are in the same room now since our trip to Utah, they loved it so much that they begged us to let them share a room. But what we found to be happening was that in the middle of the night, Tyler would find his way to the foot of Sam's bed and fall asleep there for hours until we moved him back to his own bed. To solve this, we put the beds into a bunk bed formation and, at least for now, Tyler has not figured out how to climb up the ladder into Sam's bed.

Cake

Happy Birthday to You, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Tyler, happy birthday to you.

More Birthday Party Fun

Here are some more shots from Tyler's birthday party. It was really a perfect day!

Pinata TIme

Martha and Alejandro made Tyler an amazing Batman Pinata and that really made the party so special. Here you can see the boys giving it their best shots. In the end, it took some ripping by the adults to really get it opened up.
