At the Movies!

Whew! It has been one crazy long week in the Haden household, so my apologies for not getting to this sooner!

The boys began filming What to Expect when You're Expecting last Monday morning and filmed for 5 days in Piedmont Park before calling it a wrap. It was a fun, exhausting, interesting, hot, long, amazing experience and I can't wait until the movie is out next Mother's Day to see it all put together!

The boys play Rob Huebel's son in the movie, and I cannot say enough about what an AMAZING and sweet guy he is in person. He went above and beyond to bond with each of the boys and when the other actors would take a break he would come and find the boys and play/interact with them. I know the boys are going to miss their play buddy this week but Mommy sure is glad to be out of the heat!

The boys wore 4 different outfits for the filming and it is supposed to be based in the late fall/early spring time frame, so their clothes were H-0-T. I have to brag on Coleman and Carter though...they were the ONLY babies that did not have a meltdown on set!!! Goooooooooo boys! I cannot tell you how much it made my heart smile to watch their sweet personalities shine throughout such a long week when I myself wanted to have a meltdown. I attribute a lot of that to the bond they formed with their actor, Rob. I think they truly thought they were just playing the whole time :o)

The hardest part of the whole week was scheduling. We would not find out until after 9pm what time the boys had to be on set, and they always had different call times (so they could use each of them for 4 hours). You know me and my schedule craziness so this drove me bonkers! The past few days have been interesting as we are trying to get them back on schedule...the SAME schedule...fingers crossed it doesn't take too much longer!

Okay, enough of my jibber jabber...here are some pictures from our week:














This is our "doll" in the event one of the boys were to have a meltdown. Super realistic, and super creepy!

Happy Graduation!

This weekend we loaded up the family and headed to Auburn for Jordan's graduation. We had a great time celebrating her accomplishment and being with everyone. The boys also shared with us that they are at a difficult age for traveling but they did great during the ceremony and even clapped for their Aunt Jordan.

Fun Toys

Of course the boys are into anything and everything lately and they want to play with basically whatever isn't supposed to be a toy. Some of their favorite toys are kitchen utensils...such as a wooden spoon, whisk, large spoon, spatula, etc. Maybe they'll be future chefs :o) The other day they both refused to put down their "toys" when it was time for lunch and I decided to pick my battles and let them bring them with them to their highchairs...such cute little guys!

Coloring

Okay, so the teacher in me has been dying for the boys to reach the age where we can finally begin some little "crafts" and of course coloring ranks right up there with things I was wanting to try. In the past few months the boys have become true toddlers it seems and are independent, using their words, and really starting to act like "little people" so I decided to give it a try.

At first we ate the crayons....

Then they realized what they were REALLY supposed to do with them...


Our first piece of art!


And we started coloring at our big boy table!


I can't wait to plaster our walls with pictures from these sweet little guys!!

Big boys!!

For Coleman and Carter's first birthday my brother and sister in law gave them their very own "kids table". At the time the boys were wanting to flip it over and crawl on top of it rather than sit at it and eat, but last week I decided to give it another whirl....and they absolutely LOVE it! Here is a picture of the munchkins sitting at their new big boy table...
