Catching Up...

A quick catchup on all the pictures I haven’t posted yet...

Josy loves his blanket!!



They had a pizza party at school. I don’t them East in the car, but how am I supposed to say no to that face???



We bought strawberry corn on the cob, so we decided to make it. Um, it was a lot of work, the kernels were tiny and didn’t taste any different. But hey, we tried!



Lucy discovered Shelley. This could be a disaster. Gabe now leaves his door closed and I heard him pleading with Lucy the other day “Lucy, please don’t kill Shelley!” For the number of birds she can take down, um, I’m not sure Shelley is safe even with the lid on...



I was trying to clean out the glove box. Someone thought he was being helpful...



We found a house with ghost pirates. Gabe  thought it was wonderful!



Gramps made Gabe a pegleg. He loves it!



He insisted on wearing it to school to show his friends. I told him he could wear it and show them but then I would take it with me...


More of this “I’m a big boy and I’m going to play at the park with all the big kids” nonsense...





He was trying to convince me that he should take his blanket to school with him.



Gabe insists on having a braid in his hair just like Blackbeard.



Gabe and I put on our aprons tonight to make dinner, so Josy went and got his bib so he wouldn’t be left out.



Booking fun

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.
