Tattoos and Popsicles

Last weekend we took the boys out to the Twins Club end of summer ice cream social, where they discovered a new fascination - temporary tattoos!!  They were a little unsure during the application process of putting the sticker on their arm, pressing down, and wetting it, but when the paper was pulled back to reveal a shiny new tattoo, they were hooked!  Oliver got a red fire engine, which he pointed at and said vrrrm, vrrrm for days when asked where his fire truck was.  Owen got a green frog, which he pronounces as "frrr frrr".  The tattoos lasted through 2 baths, and I think the boys (happily) were beginning to think they would be there forever.  But during bath time tonight, they faded away.  When we were drying Oliver off afterward on the changing table in their room, he realized it was gone and started frantically searching his arm, twisting it around as far as he could to search for the fire truck - it was both sad and cute.  Luckily we snagged a couple extra tattoos :)

Oh, and there was an unfortunate mix up with the arrival of the ice cream...but they had Popsicles!  Owen didn't want to try one, but as with most new foods or treats, Oliver was up for it!!
