Preemie Clothes

-
I sorted through all of the baby clothes this week, trying to located all of the preemie and newborn clothes, as well as putting everything else in piles based on size.  Apparently when I moved all of Gabe's clothes out of his dresser, I moved out the stuff that didn't fit, but not necessarily all of it at the same time.  Technically, he's still wearing a few pairs of 12 month pants and at the rate he's going, he'll still be wearing them when this new baby hits 12 month clothes too...  Even though it doesn't look like we'll be having a preemie, all those clothes are washed and ready to go, just in case.  I know that most pregnant ladies don't worry about making sure they have preemie clothes ready, but with our history, I don't really have a choice.

I did manage to find the outfit that Gabe came home from the hospital in.  It's so tiny!  And it was so big on him.  I know that he's pretty tiny now, but the kid has grown so, so much.



Speaking of Gabe, the other day he tried to convince me that he shouldn't go to school because he was sick.  I asked him what kind of sick and he told me that his heart stopped beeping.  Yep, that sounds serious.

Also this week he was coloring in my office before school and I was looking at stuff on the internet.  I scrolled past an article (with a picture) about Freddy Mercury.  Gabe saw it and asked me to go back to the yellow guy (he was wearing a yellow suit jacket).  I scrolled back to the picture and he asked "Is that the Another One Bites the Dust guy?"  Um, yes.  Yes it is.  Why my son knows that is anyone's guess...

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.
