Social Butterfly...

I think Connor is coming out of his shell.  He is SO talkative, especially when he is tired.  But lately, when we are at Costco, the mall, or just out for  walk, he must say hi to everyone and ask about half of them about their day.  Oh my!  While this is super cute and I love how talkative he is, it can be quite embarrassing sometimes.  And sometimes we are in a hurry.  But he is making friends and playing so well with other kids lately too.  Tonight at the Rockwall Concerts by the Lake he made friends and had a blast playing...and running.  A lot!

I think Connor is turning into a social butterfly.  And Dylan just continues to want to do everything big brother does.

This music was great, it was a Jimmy Buffet cover band.  And the dessert we took was awesome.  It was individual shortcakes, topped with homeade vanilla whip cream and strawberries & blueberries.  Yum!

But the views are just amazing...

This was when we first got there.

At dark as we were leaving.

The BEST Thursday! Part Two...

We decided to forgo the normal 7:30ish bedtime and head to Rockwall for Concerts by the Lake.  After all, the harbor in Rockwall is why I fell in love with this area where we live.  It is just gorgeous!  Here are some pictures from last night...

The sun went down quickly and the sky was just beautiful.  I loved seeing all the boats in the harbor listening to the music.  And the boys loved seeing all the boats.  

We ate did at home, but I had put a cobbler in the oven while I was making dinner since I had some blackberries to use up.  It finished in the oven a few minutes before we left, so I packed it up and we had dessert there.  It was delicious.  We all had seconds.  What a great treat!

Dylan liked the cobbler :)

Connor at sun set.  Can you tell how much fun he had?  

And we got to see the amphibious car again.  Connor thought it was quite silly.  He kept asking about the wheels on the car and saying, "Could you imagine a boat with wheels?"  and "Could you imagine a car that is a boat?"  "Oh so silly!"  So, I did get a picture (not a great one, it was dark by the time we saw it).  And I still need to work on my manual setting skills.

So, that was our Thursday.  Full of fun, adventure and lots of treats.  No wonder it was a great day!  Everyday I get to spend with my boys is a great day!
