Matthew's EIGHT today!
Tickets to the Angels' game against the Mariners were part of his birthday present. The Angels won 8-4 (after 7 shutout innings) and we stayed to watch the fireworks, because it was 'Big Bang Friday'.

We went up to visit Mitzi today, and this is the first thing Dashiell did. Notice how he's smothering Diego yet got his other hand reaching out for JoJo.


Can you spot the non-Mandel in this picture? =P

We stopped by my classroom this morning to do ao couple of things. Here are the boys sitting in my desks. Ok. I set up Dashiell's desk a little bit. =)

The boys "reading" a book together. Surprisingly, Dashiell's not sitting on top of the book this time.

It all began so innocently...Derek asked me what I wanted for dinner, and I said, "I don't know. Whatever you make is fine." I heard a little "Whatever I make??" come out of him as he walked to the kitchen.
This is what he brought to me several minutes later. A pepperoni topped with a dollop of peanut butter, some sesame seeds and shredded mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top, some cake decoration pieces, with a chocolate chip morsel on top of it all.
I ended up feeding it to him (I refused to eat it!) and he had the funniest look on his face. We laughed so hard at how gross it was. I was laughing so hard I was crying...my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.
He's so weird sometimes!

It looks much nicer than it appears in this picture.
[Been waiting to take this picture on a day where I ended up not having a picture to take.]
It's one of those canvas picture thingys.

The Angels after their loss to the Nationals. They were leading until the last inning, when our star pitcher, Austyn, started to get really tired and gave up some walks and hits.
Matthew struck out his first at bat (3 foul balls in a row), and his second at bat he got a hit (but someone else got tagged out...then he was left on base).
He's been doing much better hitting...thank goodness, because it makes him sooo happy when he gets a hit!
