The Olson Family

Take a look at what Drew could look like for Halloween. Please take our poll on the right side of the page to help us decide. I will post the poll results when it’s over. FYI Dylan is going to be a train conductor and we are going to try decorate his wagon to look like Thomas the Train for him to ride. He is sooo excited for it so I should get started on it soon.

Kevin is going to be Cap’n Hook for Halloween and Dylan thought he looked like a pretty good pirate. I’m glad he likes to keep his hair short though because this much hair on him would be a mess to take care of.

This week at playgroup we went to a park that was right next to some train tracks and had fun train stuff. Dylan is the conductor here. He is just practicing for Halloween because he has decided that he wants to be a train conductor and his wagon is dressing up like Thomas the Train for him to drive around when he trick or treats.I know this is a boring picture but a couple trains went by while we were there and I have never seen him run so fast to get somewhere. He stood there forever watching the train go by. If we are driving and we see a train he gets upset if he doesn’t get to see the front and the back of the train.Drew was very shy when we first got there for some reason. He stood in that spot without moving for probably 15 minutes. I thought it was pretty cute. Once he got moving he never stopped.

Here are just some cute pictures at the Children’s museum again. They never grow old of the fun there.

We went to Coney Island for Kevin’s hospital employee appreciation day. It was so packed that we didn’t stay for very many rides. They have quite a few rides that Dylan could ride but he only went on the bumper cars and the helicopters. The pool is huge and we tried it for a while too. The water was too cold for my liking but Dylan had some fun. Drew agreed with me ad had fun putting the lid on and off of the sunblock.

We took some family pictures while we were there. j/k They started to decorate it for the Halloween stuff they start in a few weeks. The displays were quite scary.

Dylan was really excited for me to find a job because I told him he could go to preschool. Well, we changed out minds and I now get to stay at home. Dylan was really bummed so I decided to make my own preschool for Dylan while Drew naps in the morning. He absolutely loves it and is learning a lot. He can already write his name and can recognize all the letters and (somewhat) make the right sounds. So we are doing a letter a week starting with A. Each day we do a different craft.
He practices writing the letter.

We are glad it is still warm enough here to have fun in the water. Dylan has just discovered how much fun it is to play in the sprinklers. We finally got a sprinkler to water the lawn as it is starting to die.
Drew didn’t think he wanted to get too close to the action but wondered why Dylan was so soaking wet.

Dylan had never been bowling before and since we live pretty close to a “Sports of All Sorts” we decided to take him a couple weekends ago. He thought it was lots of fun and his score(with the bumpers up of course) was pretty close to mommy and daddy’s score.He picked a green ball because that is his favorite color.I thought he looked so cute in his little bowling shoes.

Drew LOVES to wear sunglasses and he giggles when he looks at you. He thinks he is soooo cool in them. Brotherly love.Unfortunately Dylan thinks he looks even cooler in sunglasses and he steal them from Drew pretty quick.
Drew doesn’ t look too happy with Dylan for stealing his glasses. I need to get the other kid sunglasses from the car because it is a battle between boys with only 1 pair in the house.
