Great news

Just got the official word today that Joey will get to go to St. Paul's Lutheran Church for his K4 Program starting in the fall. We are super excited.

This morning I ask Joey to give me 5 and he wouldn't, but Luke came running with his hand held high. So I gave him 5 and he just last. We didn't know he knew how.

A few other things I love

Both boys like to swing

Luke decided he is too big for a baby swing

So much fun!

Watch Joey swing also

First to dinner, last to finish

My flowers

This flower looked like it was going to die, but with a little love it is gorgeous.

Things I love

Pretending to be Indiana Jones

You must have a whip to be Indiana Jones

Eating one of his favorite meals Beeferoni followed by pudding and whipped cream

Eating a yummy peach

Enjoying his peach

I love eating breakfast outside with my boys. We had cinnamon toast and Luke ate 4 pieces while Joey couldn't finish one.
I love it when my car is clean and I always say it will never get that dirty again, but it always does.
I love that Joey is so interested in watching things grow. I love that when we go to Home Depot he can find plants that he must have so he can watch them grow.
I love to watch Luke eat and enjoy his meals. I love that he likes and gets so much pleasure from a good meal.
I love to hear Luke say new words. We sort of missed this with Joey.
I love that my boys have blankets, but don't tell them. They get awful dirty and smell awful, but they are great to me and my boys.
I love watching Joey teach Luke about stuff. It can be something simple or sort of complex. Joey teaches him just like Kev would teach Joey.
I love pretending with Joey. He can pretend anything. He wants to experience everything in this world and thinks he can.
I peaches and the fact that I bought 7 peaches at 9am and Joey and Luke ate them all by 10:30. They just couldn't get enough.
I mostly love my boys and my husband who also falls into one of my boys.

Indiana Jones

We are soon off to see Indiana Jones. We, as in, Joey, Kev and myself, the little Luke wouldn't be interested in stuff like this. You see, he has a more complicated mind than we do or at least that is what I choose to think at this time. I know that the day will come when he too will be excited about Power Rangers, any Super Hero and of course the above mentioned Indiana Jones. But until that day comes, I will let myself believe that he has a mind much more interesting than the rest of us.

In the last few days, Joey has taken to pretending to be Indiana Jones in the backyard. He pretends to use a whip to do all sort of things.


Update: Have been to the movie and now Joey wants to be Indiana Jones now more than ever.

Sickness all around

So I called into work last night since I started puking. Then at 10pm last night we were awaken to the sounds of Joey screaming. He had puked all over his bed. He continued to wake up like 5 more times to puke and quickly go back to sleep. Today has been better as far as puking. But Joey and I have just laid on the couch.
Kev was nice enough to call into work to take care of us. He was helpful. He prepared meals for Luke and kept the Joe Man and myself supplied with drinks.
Hopefully tomorrow things will be better.

Washing Machine in Overdrive

Monday morning Luke was playing in Joey's room and he threw up everywhere. I got him cleaned up and then Joey's room cleaned up. Luke went to take a nap and then he never ever acted sick again.
All day yesterday we ran around and he played and acted fine. Sometime during the night get sick and threw up all over himself and his bed. The boy just went back to sleep. So before Kev left he went into check on him and found him like this. So I got him up and got him in the bath and threw all of his stuff in the wash, including his blanket. Of course, the loss of the blanket made everything worse.
The good news is the blanket is clean and dry. He is hanging out on the couch with a little Kool-Aid.
Hopefully, Joey won't get this.

Brunch

We had a MOMS Club brunch today.  I discussed with Joey how brunch was like lunch and breakfast together.  He thought that was funny. 

 

We got there and Joey run to play with the kids.  Luke hung with me for awhile.  Believe it or not he always acts shy for just a minute or so and then he takes off.  Luke was very happy to eat.  Someone brought this super yummy french toast casserole that Luke would have eaten the entire dish.  In fact, when she left and took the dish he cried.  She is suppose to send me the recipe.  After eating, Luke played.  He was very interested in the twin 4 month old boys.  Their mom ask Luke if he was a baby.  He answered very quickly with "MomMom's Babee!"

Joey played more than he ate.  He did eat quick things that he could throw in his mouth.  He played mostly with Ben and another redheaded boy named Addison.  Joey took his batman mask and his spiderman cape.  Ben is very impressed with pretend, so he loved it.  Joey shared some, but he wouldn't share both the mask and the cape at once.

So we get home and Luke was ready for a nap.  I tell Joey it is his nap time and he explains that he hasn't had lunch.  So I had to make him some lunch.
