Pirate Day – 2.26.2010
Posted February 26th, 2010 by Mom | Comments (0)
Today was/is Pirate Day for the kindergarten classes. They got to dress up and learn all about pirates today and this week. J came home from school yesterday telling me that pirates had green teeth because they only ate seaweed. Ick.
Here J is all dressed up in his pirate finest…
Last year C’s kindergarten class did “Treasure Island Day” instead of “Pirate Day” due to all the pirating stuff near Somalia. I’m glad they were able to revert back to Pirate Day. It is way cooler.
Swimming 2.9.10
Posted February 9th, 2010 by Mom | Comments (0)
Nothing like being out of school for a snow day and going swimming. Sounds crazy! But that is just what today was like. We went out for breakfast at McDonalds and then home to clean house. After doing several loads of laundry and then a doctor’s appointment, I took the boys swimming at the gym. Of course it is an indoor swimming pool. Just felt strange shivering from the car on the walk into the gym knowing that I was about to let the boys swim. (I’m sure the boys will be shivering even more as they walk to the car after drying off!!)
I wonder why no one else was swimming today?!
Snow 2.8.2010
Posted February 8th, 2010 by Mom | Comments (0)
We had the fortunate wake up call this morning to snow. After B went to work, J and I went outside to play. J of course had to get his jeep out and test out his driving skills. C managed to make out outside for a short time, until he realized that it is incredibly cold outside without a coat on. (As if the snow wasn’t a hint to the temperature…)
Like I said, it was cold outside…
This is as far as I got on our snowman. It looks more like a snow volcano. Maybe we can work on it some more tomorrow… I hear it is going to be another snow day for school.
Chocolate, anyone?

J doesn’t sleep through the night. Evidently.
One middle of the night recently, he had the munchies and got a fresh, new can of chocolate icing out of the pantry. As of that wasn’t bad enough, he got a REALLY big spoonful of the icing and took it to his bed. Chocolate in the middle of the night, with no lights on. Equals a REALLY big mess…
The next morning J was getting a bath and I was helping him wash his hair and noticed something all over his face. I at first thought it was blood, as the color was that of dried blood. No blood. Chocolate. All over his face. And his pillow. And in the middle of his bed was a spoon with a mound of chocolate.
Yes, those are his new John Deere bed sheets. And the new yellow and green velvet pillows that I made for him. I was quite angry.
I walked to my bedroom to calm down a bit. B and I did a tag-team and B took over with J for me. B told J, “I don’t know if Mommy can clean your new green pillow.” To which J replied, “It’s okay, Daddy.” And then J walked over to his bed and picked up his green pillow and proceeded to turn it over to where only the clean side was showing.
I swear that Y chromosome is going to be the death of me!
B's 36th Birthday
Posted February 8th, 2010 by Mom | Comments (0)
We spent B’s birthday at home. The boys were recovering from the flu and B and I were trying to avoid getting. Fortunately the flu bug left our home without infecting us. Yeah for tons of lysol and soap!
We were supposed to have a birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa’s house for B’s birthday (even Uncle Rick and Aunt Carolyn were in town!), but it was canceled due to the boys’ germs. They still sent B’s birthday cake home to us. It was yummy!
Thanks for the cake!
Here are B and C playing B’s new xBox game… C loves to beat up characters. His most common phrase while playing “shoot-em up” games is, “Dad, you need to change weapons!”
