Shower Night

The kids were in a silly mood after their showers last week.  They both slicked back their hair and Sebastian pretended he was Elvis.  Because our bathroom is very retro (1950’s peach), the color scheme of the tile is a bit overwhelming.  I played around in Photoshop and came up with some variations that tone down the peach just a bit.

If you look closely, you can see the gum still in her mouth.  She doesn’t even take it out when she bathes.  The kids have the same gum addiction as their father – Thanks Mike!  At least it’s sugarless gum. 🙂

Sebastian’s First Communion, Cont.

We took over 200 photos on Sunday.  Some were good, some not so good.  Here are a few more random photos from throughout the day.

It was a bit paparazzi-like during communion and again after mass during the group photos.  The parents and family members of 30+ kids all with cameras vying for the best spot to get photos.  We snapped a few of the whole group, but there are heads and hands with cameras in all the shots.

Sebastian changed out of his “dress up” clothes as soon as we got back to the house.  He picked out shorts, a t-shirt and his MN Twins hat for the party.  We were lucky to get one family photo outside before he changed.  He certainly is the opposite of his sister who would be happy wearing a dress and tights every day.  After swinging, going down the slide and running around the yard in her “fancy” dress and shoes, we made her go inside to change.  We are hoping that she will be able to wear her “fancy” dress and shoes for preschool graduation this month and again for my nephew’s wedding in July.  So far the dress has held up well to stains and made it through one washing.  I cleaned the mud off her white shoes and will polish them up before preschool graduation.

Sebastian’s First Communion

Sebastian’s First Communion was yesterday.  We had a beautiful day in Duluth – warm temperatures and lots of sun.  We arrived at the church a little early to get some photos…then we stayed after Mass to get more.  Here are a few of our favorites from the day.
