What's Better Than One Birthday Post? Two, Of Course!

Colin turned eight, this year, EIGHT YEARS OLD! I legitimately remember being eight which incidentally makes me feel old, very old but that's another post for another blog. Jim found a really cool shop, Labyrinth in DC to host Colin's Pokemon birthday party this year. It even included our very own"Doctor"of Pokemon to teach the class. I still don't think I know any more about this game than I did before the party started but all the boys seemed to have a great time and that's all that mattered. 

























































As you might imagine, Jim also had a birthday this month but I didn't get any pictures of that so that's not actually the "second birthday" teased in the post title. No, poor William never gets a fun Frog and Toad Birthday post because his is in November so this year I thought I'd do a little throw back and include photos from his birthday. 'Cause when you have two, "everything has to be even" or so I've heard. He had Jay had a "no whine, lots of cheese" (h/t Mrs. Murchison) birthday at Chuck E Cheese. 














































Cheers, 
Mamma Frog & Toad

Door County

Cousin Cannon Ball!
We can never get back to Door County soon enough... well at least during the summer months and this year is no different. 

The year we almost missed our flight to Chicago because we stood in line for over an hour at the wrong airline counter tested our sense of adventure and we still joke about the "can we laugh about it now?" note I passed to Jim mid-flight. Needless to say he wasn't ready to laugh about it. I guess the silver lining of only one direct flight a day to Milwaukee means we'll never make that mistake again.

The best part for me about this year's trip is that the boys are beginning to remember favorite spots from years past. I adore the idea that they'll hold (hopefully fond) memories of their summers in Door County, just as Jim does. 

Ready to go!!

the land of cheese curds!

What happens when you take a family photo 12 seconds after
one brother "accidentally" kicks the other brother in the head. 

One last time...
