Vacation in Pictures

We returned home at 3am on Wednesday from visiting family. Here are some pictures from our trip to Boston.

Our first stop on Saturday: New England Aquarium.

"Mom, the fish was THIS big!"

Thing 2 enjoyed watching the fish, sharks, and turtles swim by.

Thing 1 was able to touch a starfish.

We found that Thing 1 wasn't even half the size of a sand tiger shark.

Our next stop was the fountain. It was incredibly hot and humid making the cold water feel good!

Thing 2 being held by his uncle as he was just sprayed in the face with water and needed some comforting.

Our final stop for the day: Quincy Market. We needed to eat some good food before taking the T back to the grandparents'.

That steak & cheese sub was very tasty!

We couldn't forget to eat some nice bacon wrapped scallops! (And I did eat some New England Clam Chowder; however it was gone way before I could take a picture of it!)

Thing 1 sharing Grandma's smoothie.
This is how the boys spent the car ride back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
And this was just day 1 of our vacation. We enjoyed spending time with family that we hadn't seen in awhile. We miss all of you and can't wait to see you again!

The First Time Out

Yesterday, Thing 1 and Thing 2 were being bad. They kept getting into things they weren't supposed to and throwing toys around. Well, we had put Thing 1 in time out for these things and thought it was about time that Thing 2 start time out as well. (He can be the instigator at times.) Thing 2 was hitting the dog's cage with a toy (the dog was in the cage, by the way). The Mr. told him repeatedly to stop; however Thing 2 just looked at him and, very defiantly, began banging on the dog's cage again. So The Mr. sat Thing 2 in the corner. Thing 2 had a very confused look on his face. He sat there for a few seconds and then just got up. The Mr. sat him back down in the corner. This is when Thing 2 realized he was in trouble. He then began crying! The Mr. and I had difficulty containing our giggles as he just looked so cute sitting there all sad because he was in time out.
