Fountain and youths
The fountains at Brindley Place
This is Brindley Place in Birmingham. The fountains where of great interest to the boys, who as usual would NOT stand still for a photo.
Just look at the look on Maxines face in the second pic - I think she was just in the middle of saying "look at the camera boys"...
Seriously, our family photo album is going to look terrible...the boys just refuse to stand still!!

Pushchair fun...
Out in public in the pushchair...
As usual, the lads can make fun out of anything...
Here they are in the pushchair.
Chris decided he can stand up in the rear seat now, this is despite him being harnessed in. The seat cushion itself lifts up with him!
I had to laugh at the expression on Alex's face too...especially the way he hides his face in the second picture!!

Out to lunch
Hungry monsters...
..after the Sealife Center we all went for lunch...it wasn't cheap: £30 for 4 burgers, but normally I wouldn't mind if the burgers where EATEN!
Now Max and I ate ours, but the lads just played with theirs...so they got wasted.
As we left, we ended up giving the boys one of the baby snacks we'd brought from home.
Hopefully the meals out will get easier...

The Canals...of Birmingham
Birmingham Canals...
...are more extensive than those in Venice...blah, blah...
Anyway, here's the lads in their toboggan being pushed by mommy Maxine.

Sealife Center (2)
Nearly...
...got a picture with both of the boys facing the camera...
At least I managed to look at the camera and have my eyes open (this time!)

Sealife Center
The lads go to the Sealife Center!
Now don't go expecting a whole series of stunning photos of the lads posing in front of amazing and rare fish...because:
a) they wouldn't stand still
b) the lighting was bad
c) the camera is slow and old
d) they wouldn't stand still
Yes, getting any pictures at all of our lads these days is next to impossible!
We did have an absolutely wonderful day out though.
Oh yes, and the super-cute body warmers the lads are wearing are courtesy of our friends Ric and Gwen from Seattle - thanks Ric and Gwen!

Baby in a box (again!)
Baby in a box...
Once again proving that there is a definite theme to the sort of things the lads get up to, I found Christian sitting in the Megabloks box at the end of the hall the other day.
I have no idea how long he had been in there, could have been 5 minutes, could have been an hour...but he sure seemed happy enough!

Nanny Carols' 100th Birthday
Nanny Carol is 100 today!
The lads help celebrate by preparing to eat Nanny Carols chocolate birthday cake...
Alex looks especially hungry...

Two little monsters!
Here I have captured 2 little monsters...
I had to grab them and hold them still for the camera.
All this to get a picture of them in their Thomas pyjamas!

Right, we're off!
Chris & Alex pack their bags and leave...
I'm not sure what we did here, but the lads decided they'd had enough.
So they packed their teddies and their favourite books in their rucksacks and left!

Woohoo - I can fly!!!
Alex shows us his new flying squirrel suit...
I am not sure if Alex is about to launch himself off the step here, but it sure looks like it!

Wizards or Shepherds?
Confused...
...well, I am anyway.
I'm not sure whether we have 2 wizards here, or 2 shepherds...either way, it's a fantastic demonstration of our crazy kids...
