Catching Up

-
I've spent the last few weeks thinking that I need to write down all the funny things that Gabe says and does, but somehow I haven't gotten around to it. Lets see if I can remember everything...

---------------

Gabe has started saying all sorts of funny things. He now says "yes please" and "no please" as well as "Fank you" or "fanks" rather than his previous "da du". He's also started "can I?" As in "Can I play with bubbles please?" And "can I open that?" He's just started saying "why because why?"

----------

The other day we were eating breakfast and I was coughing. Gabe looked at me and said "Mommy, okay?" Those of you that know some of our family struggles that I don't write about will know why that was so special.

-------------

Just now I was getting him ready for bed and he crawled up on my lap and said "I give Mommy snuggles." I told him that I love Gabey snuggles. He responded with "I love you Mommy."

--------------

Me: Hi Gabe
Gabe: I no Gabey. I Sweet Boy.
M: Okay
G: Hi Mommy
M: Hi Sweet Boy
G: No! I no Sweet Boy. I Little Man.
M: Oh, okay.
G: Hi Mommy
M: Hi Little Man 
G: No! I no Little Man. I Gabey Baby.

Clearly things are a little confusing around here sometimes...

------------


M: You're going to wear your athletic clothes today and you're going to be adorable!
G: Adorable! I Uncle Matt!
M: Not Uncle Matt, Uncle Nathan
G: Uncle Nafan

---------------


M: Are you ready for breakfast?
G: No, I snuggle my blanket.


Doesn't everyone carry a spoon around in their mouth in the bathroom???

---------------



Bella left for a couple of weeks today to visit her cousins, so these two got in some reading and snuggling before she left.

---------------

While she and Dad were at the airport, Gabe and I went to the park.


As if his hair wasn't crazy enough to begin with...


I have a little daredevil on my hands. He figured out how to climb the rope all by himself. I was right next to him to catch him if he fell, but he figured it out.

-----------------



We went on a bike ride with Gram. I'm not sure this is the most effective way to ride...

---------------

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now...

Easter Eggs and Cars

-

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

-

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
