Dinosaur on Broadway

The Museum of National History here, called the Witte Museum, has a new exhibit, called "Dinosaurs Unearthed" and wouldn't you know it, they landed right on a major intersection, at Broadway and Hildebrand. The boys were so in awe of the outdoor T-Rex, I thought I would never get them into the exhibit (which would have obviously been more cost effective). This life size one moved and roared every few minutes, so we spent a great deal of time hanging out on the street corner prior to ever going inside.

Play Catch

Here is the quintessential big brother game of catch, it goes something like this: "Tyler, do you want to play catch? Say Yes. Yes. OK, catch. Oh, you weren't facing me? That's OK, I'll throw it yet again at your back..." Ugh, thank goodness for older brothers...

Haircuts

Here are some before and after pictures of the boys pre and post her haircut...courtesy of Papa.

The Hip Hop Piesmans

This morning, after a great Challah French Toast breakfast, the boys burned off some energy with a hip hop dance party. As you can see, Sam has a new type of 'white man's overbite', we like to fondly refer to it as the 'stick out the tongue and groove'. Tyler is even getting into the action. Mike really needs to work with them if we can hope that they have even a bit of the rhythm that he has!

Singing to Nemo

Here is Tyler singing a bit to Nemo. In the middle of Do-A-Deer, you can see that Tyler is a bit dismayed as Nemo seems to be swimming away from his show. I think he says, "Nemo...look!" to try to grab his attention again. I think he intends to be a lunge singer when he grows up (Tyler, not Nemo).

Chilling in the Classroom

After the Purim/Shabbat celebration, Tyler was invited by Sam to his classroom for the Kiddush and the Motzi. Sam had a costume malfunction after a trip to the bathroom!

Purim at School

This year we had Haman and King Achashvaros grace our presence here on Fawn Bluff. Sam really wanted to be Haman, so we created a menacing costume, although the most authentic part, the beard and moustache, were too itchy for Sam to endure. We recycled Sam's costume of 2 years ago for Tyler, surprisingly, he loved it just as much as Sam.
