Playing outside can be dangerous.

Luke played outside all day long.  I told him to come so we could go get Joey.  He screamed "No!" and running he went.  Some how he pulled a Cinder block down and this is what his ankle looked like just minutes after.  He cried a lot.  I wanted to cry for him.  He said "Me not go back outside!"

Renaissance Faire

Yesterday we headed to the Renaissance Faire here in Pensacola.  It was sort of interesting to see all those people dressed up.  Of course, things I thought the boys would be interested scared them.  The first was a man that breathed fire.  We thought the boys would be super impressed, but this scared Joey.  Then when we were living was a man that ate fire, this scared Luke.  We didn't know it scared him until later, I mean all evening long he said "That guy eat fire!  Me no eat fire! Momma no eat fire!  Daddy no eat fire! Joe Joe no eat fire!"  Eventually he started crying and said "That guy eat fire no eat me!"

Joey going down a big slide.  Luke wouldn't do this.

Luke finally understands that these are horses, not cows and they say "neigh" not "Moo"

Home Again

Daddy made it home today at 2pm.  The boys were super excited to see him.  He looks tired.  Tomorrow he will have the boys in the morning while I get my hair colored.

Some boys are outside kind of guys

Luke is very much the outside kind of guy.  He loves everything to do with outside like running, jumping, playing with balls, hitting balls, sliding on his slide, riding his bike, etc.  Today is a beautiful day outside, so you guessed it Luke has been outside.  When he got out there today, he yelled "Hey Mutt, I play ball!"  Yeah, Luke calls Wonder Mutt, just plan old Mutt.  He proceeded to spend about 20 minutes hitting tennis balls in the air for Mutt.  He calls Winnie, Dog.  So then he chased dog all over the backyard.  When the dogs started to bark, he told the dogs "Hush dogs!"  Then he told me "Daddy hush dogs!"  I reckon he has heard Kev tell the dogs to hush.  When it was time to eat lunch, he didn't want to come in.  In fact, he cried and cried.  So he won this battle and got to eat his lunch in the fort of the sling set, this is a daddy trick.  When it is really nice on the weekend, Kev lets the boys have a picnic outside on the fort of there swing set. 

Student of the week for Poff Taekwondo

Every week on Wednesday at Poff Taekwondo they have a student of the week.  This student has worked really hard and showed lots of improvement and come to all the practices.  This week the winner is Joey.  This means he gets to bring home this huge trophy for one week.  When Mrs. Poff called his name, I saw the shocked look on his face.  Luke said "Joe Joe won!"  When we got to the car, Joey explained that he knew he was going to win this trophy.  He also explained this is a huge trophy for his first trophy and the next one must be the size of a house.

Pizza night

Since Kev is away we are having kid friendly meals everyday.  Yesterday was chicken nugget day.  Tonight was pizza night.  We made a homemade pizza.  The boys helped.  Both boys were super excited to help, but they weren't as excited to eat it.  It was super yummy, but they wanted to eat the strawberries that I bought at Publix today.  Yesterday I bought 2 pounds of strawberries, I thought it looked like a huge amount.  They finished them before we went to bed last night, then Joey was upset that he couldn't have any in his lunch.  I bought 4 pounds today.  They have polished off 2 pounds today, I did put some in Joey's lunch for tomorrow.  Joey wanted more, but I told him we were out.  I was truly afraid that we would have none my tonight.

I had said that Joey was doing so well with Kev being gone.  He is not.  He has wet the bed at least once every single night and last night he wet his bed and then wet my bed.  He has cried at school over nothing, then told Mrs. Nancy that he wanted to be by himself and that he wanted me.  She knows Kev is out of town, so she is working with him.

Luke has at least 2 times in the day that he cries for Kev.  He isn't as pathetic as he was on Sunday.  He is getting better with talking to him on the phone.

My Daddy's not home in bed!

Kev left yesterday for his week long trip to Key Largo with his students from Pine Forest.  I had worked the night before and got very little sleep Friday because Mrs. Kristie had to go to the doctor, so I had to pick the boys up at 1:30.  Thankfully, Frannie came to the house very early on Saturday and stayed with the boys until 4pm.  I got some rest.  

The rest of the evening, I got to hear poor pathetic Luke tell me his Daddy wasn't home.  So we left the house and ran around some.  When we got home he went to bed.  All was fine with him until 2am.  He woke up, he was crying.  He wanted to go to sleep in my bed.  When I got him in there he says "My daddy's not home in bed!"  It took me like 20 minutes to get him back to sleep.

When we got up this morning, I told them I'd take them for donuts.  Luke said "No, my daddy eats donuts!"  He was really upset until he got to leave him a message on his phone.

The rest of the day hasn't been as bad for him.  We went to the Naval Air Museum this afternoon for a few hours.  That is like the perfect place for any boy, especially Luke.  Joey likes it, but Luke loves it.

Joey was being the pilot

Luke is the best pilot ever.  He said "I fly airplane high!"

Joey was very impressed with this.  He thought it was so cool that his hand print was just there.

Luke drawing for a minute

While Luke prefers piloting, Joey seemed to really enjoy playing with these aircraft carriers.

Luke as a Blue Angel Pilot.  He says he doesn't want to fly this plane.  He picked out about 30 other planes that he says he will fly.
