We will now start the bidding.

I was suddenly awakened from my sleep this morning after I have worked 3 12 hour nights.  Apparently, Kev went to the bathroom and then checked his email.  During this time, Luke got into this hot chocolate mix that he had made the other day at a MOMS Club event.  He threw the mix all over the couches, the floors, and the rug.  It was a huge mess.  I am trying to save the rug, but am not sure if I can.  He was rubbing it into the rug when Kev found him.  Kev lost it.  So I think if anyone wants to offer a few cents to Kev right now, they might be the new owner of Luke David.

Growing Boys

Joey in his robe.  He gets super cold in the morning.

Luke throwing a fit because his blanket is in the washing machine.

Yesterday Joey mentioned that his shoes were hurting his feet.  When we bought his shoes in June we bought a size bigger than he needed.  Sure enough his size 10 shoes were to small.  He needs tennis shoes, Kev got him a pair of boot things yesterday.  I thought I might have some shoes someone gave us, but no I sure didn't.  In addition to shoes, he also needed bigger underwear.  So we were on a mission for shoes, Kev had got the underwear yesterday.  We went everywhere.  Finally got a pair at Kohl's.  While we were there, we decided to check Luke's feet.  His feet were also a size larger than his shoes.

Work take me away!!!

These boys have been super grumpy this week.  I have been grumpy, because I am back to getting little sleep because of my shoulder.  I am looking forward to go to work tonight to getting a little peace and quiet.

The Feast

Joey had his Thanksgiving Feast at school today.  They had little sausages (which he wouldn't eat), pancakes, carrots, and grapes.  They also had brownies for dessert.  After the feast, they got to go out and play on the playground.  They had a blast.  Luke also played on the playground.

Joey's place of honor.

The Shining Stars are Indians.

There is my Swift Horse.

This is the Feast.

I don't know about this meal.

Joey and I.  His turkey has things he is thankful for on it.  Listed are "My brother, My playroom, Costumes, Snakes, food"

This is what Luke enjoyed.  He walked up and down these steps.

Here is the playground.

I forgot

I should have also mentioned that Joey has mastered the snapping of fingers.  One of the boys at his school could snap his fingers and then Joey was on a mission to snap his fingers.  Now anyplace we got he must show everyone that he can snap his fingers.  He is very proud of this.

20 Sizes

I have been enjoying my boys and here are a few things that my boys have done or said that have tickled me.  Joey was watching Sid the Science Kid a most excellent TV show about how kids can use science to figure things out in their world.  Joey thinks that Sid is only about the coolest kid in the world.  Sid's feet grew and his shoes didn't fit him anymore, he learned that he grew.  So he learned to measure himself and the other kids in his class and learned that everyone is different sizes.  Joey got to thinking about this and decided he would measure Luke and then himself.  He took his and put at Luke's ankle and said "That is one size!"  Then he went to his knee and said "That is two size."  He continued until he had got to the top of his head and then he shouted "Wow, Luke is 7 sizes!!!"  Then he started on himself.  The measurements were small and more frequent on Joey.  He screamed "Mom, I am 20 sizes.  I must be huge!!!"

Friday when Joey was at Ms. Kristie's she ask him what he wants for Christmas.  He told her that he wants 2 light sabers.  She then ask him what he would do if he wouldn't get those.  He thought for a minute and then very honestly told her "Well Ms. Kristie, I guess I won't have a Merry Christmas then."

Saturday I went to a yard sale at Joey's school.  I was only interested in one thing.  A light bright, it cost me a $1.50.  So when Luke is a sleep and Joey helps clean up without complaint in the playroom he can play with it.

Now to Luke.  Friday after Luke came home from the babysitter's and I was awake.  I said "Luke were you a good boy today for Ms. Kristie?"  He looked up and smiled then said "No! I'm bad!"

We have oranges on our tree that we are eating now.  Luke wanted one the other day.  He kept saying "Out! Out! Out!"  I didn't help him soon enough, so he grabbed my hand and pulled me.  I decided that we would go out there.  So he ran to the tree, pointing up and he said "Please apple!"

Finally Luke said to me "Night Night Mama!  Bye Bye Mama!  Love Mama!"  It made my heart swell.

Stupid Shoulder

I went back to the Orthopeadic Doctor today.  He ask me how I was doing.  I told him that I was slowly getting worse again.  I also told him I tried to stop the Mobic and I just couldn't without pain.  His solution was to injected it today and then operate when I want to set it up.  I am going to have surgery in January.  I am not sure when.  He said it would be immobilized for 2 weeks if it is just the bone spur, but 4 weeks if it has a partial tear.  He talked like he wouldn't be that surprised if it has a small tear of the rotator cuff.  So I will be trying to schedule it for the day after Joey's birthday.
