Brown Beard

Gus played the pirate Brown Beard in his school play.  He is quite the ham.  While some kids had a fear of performing in front of a crowd, Gus excelled.  Here he is!

Strike a pose

He looks like he is trying out to be a bikini model. Though, he claims he wants to be a football player and he wants to play for the Hokies. Watch out Frank Beamer!

Look at that kid.  Two at a time.

These two have a "bromance" going at school

Let the sugar high begin

That is Gus near the top.  He climbs like a regular monkey

It's spring time!

Gus' New Big Boy Room

Gus outgrew his toddler bed.  I decided to put him in a full size bed which didn't fit well in his little room.  So I moved him to a new room and did some decorating.  It still needs some finishing touches and I haven't officially moved his books, clothes and toys, but here is a sneak peak: 

I remembered to take some before pictures at the last minute.  Note the floral wallpaper which had to go.

More floral wallpaper.  Even behind the radiator.

There is my friend Thanida who is helping me with the project.

After: Gus in his favorite reading chair.  He has a desk with a chair now for art projects.

Gus' big boy bed and his own bedside lamp.

A nice carpet for Gus to play on.

Room for books and toys behind the door.

I hope you like it!  I'll try to post more pictures after I move his pictures, clothes and books.

Mud Season

It's getting warm out here.  The snow is slowly melting.  Gus (though he insists on being called Gussie these days) is just loving the sun and the great weather.  He is a true Colorado Boy.  Here is my Colorado boy-wearing his Virginia Tech shirt- doing his Gussie stuff.
