good list

More Before and Afters: Still a work in progress (with new furniture planned once we are well potty trained around here just in case)... Also I look forward to replacing the traditional Virginia metal railing at some point.  A carpenter told me last week that he takes one out nearly every other week around here  - I'd love wooden craftsman style banisters!
Indian food still tops the adult list of favorite eat out spots, and the boys have found their favorites too.  Keaton would eat all the rice in the restaurant and Aiden loves a huge serving of Tandoori salmon.  Keaton thinks it's a special occasion and throughout dinner wishes everyone happy birthday at random.
Books by Bob Staake - Look, A Book! And Look, Another Book! - these books are full of cut outs and the appeal of a look and find.  A perfect visual feast for bigs and littles.
Rubber band bracelets made on a Rainbow Loom - There were boys a little older than Aiden selling these on the playground the other day.  The little entrepreneurs even offered classes to learn how to make them.  I'm all about boys enjoying crafts - and I scooped a loom up on Amazon to feed Aiden's interest.  Two more bracelets already made at home ;)
PB and Jack art day, etc, etc... We all love everything about PB and Jack's play area and fun activities.  Aiden has fine tuned his freeze dance and Keaton can already climb to the very top of the octopus.  Art day is an extra layer of weekly fun.  Here is Aiden's noodle cowboy and tumbleweed.
Experiments, especially with diluted chocolate milk, are Aiden's new favorite notebook addition.  This experiment was a ploy to get more chocolate milk because he just had to know what happens if you add white milk to the chocolate.
