Haircut and Handstand 31/365

Aaaand.... I have officially completed one month!  Yay me!

Today we finally got the boys in for haircuts.  I am already mourning the loss of Thomas' shaggy look (although it's still long... I'm not ready for any "bigboy" haircuts yet) but the trim means the reemergence of Samuel's curls.  I was ridiculously pleased to see them.

Here he his from the front... new coat, new haircut, new "no more pictures!" attitude.

  

And here he is post-bath and curly.

Meanwhile, Thomas has been perfecting his handstand and I am STILL trying to get a decent picture of it.  He only stays up for about a count of 3-5 before rather ungracefully flopping forward onto his back... c'mon, he's not even TWO yet, let's not get picky!  He DOES get all the way up with his legs up, and tuck his head, but that's what I haven't managed to photograph.  The first is the closest I was able to get and he was about to go forward.  He'd already done about five before I got my camera.  Crazy kid!

 

Not Samuel - 30/365

This is not Samuel.  This is Lucy or, as the boys like to call her, Caaaaahhhht.  And now it becomes obvious why the boys' chairs are so often in need of vacuuming.

Father and Sons 29/365

Chris was reading to Thomas while Sam sat quietly at the other end of the sofa.  Then Tom got rambunctious and jumped down, so Chris switched to reading to Sam.  Obviously this didn't entirely meet with Tom's approval although he was laughing hysterically the whole time.

Laughing Sam - 28/365

Sam is such a ham sometimes.  He actually WANTED me to take his picture.

Art - 27/365

The boys looooove to color with their crayons.  It is a close second to eating the crayons.  I've had this sheet of cardboard on the coffee table in our playroom for a couple of weeks now and it is getting to be time to replace it, but I didn't want to do that without first documenting.  Future Picassos?

Through the Door - 26/365

I've been wanting to take a shot like this for a while.  Still not exactly what I want, but closer!

Silhouette 25/365

I was going for a silhouette here... and failed... but with some post processing, it's not too bad.
