They grow up fast

So, this is a more recent photo of the boys (they grow up fast). In a couple of weeks, they'll turn eight. In the photo above, they are showing off their stripes for Run for the Arts. This program raises money to pay for those little "frills" that our school system can no longer afford to pay for with our very slashed budgets, like arts and music.
The stripes indicate the number of laps that they ran (Colin nine laps, Ethan eight).
After a chilly run under skies that threatened rain and wind that ended up blowing over the tent that was covering the volunteers who were doing the logging, the kids were treated to frozen popsicles.... brrrr!
As I mentioned, in a few weeks, they will turn eight. The theme for their party will be Circus/Carnival. I picked up a cotton candy maker a few months ago at Goodwill (works wonderfully) and they're completely jazzed about putting it to use with their friends, so we worked out the entire party around it.
The invitations have been sent out. I'll take a photo of them and post them soon. I didn't have as much time to devote to them as I could have used, but they still came out pretty fun...
