Catching Up...

-
Cathy, our temporary roommate, let Josy wear her boots. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with it.



Sometimes church with two little boys is easy. Sometimes it involves spoiled cheerios and sticking stickers on your eyes...





Josy is going to virtual speech therapy. I think he’s just excited to get to use my computer.



I figured out why Josy likes to hang out in the pantry...





Gabe is super excited about his new helmet!!



Lucy decided to take a nap on Josy’s blanket. He was not amused. In fact, he was very frustrated that he wasn’t strong enough to pull it out from under her.



Gabe wanted to swing both of them together. It did not go well.



Josy spilled some cereal on the floor. He picked up the cheerios and then I thought he was done. When I turned around, he was cleaning up the milk too. He’s so very helpful!



Josy and I went on a run and this is how he did the entire run: thumb in his mouth and one hand on the water bottle.



He loves wearing the batting helmet.



We went to an outdoor birthday party and once again, it was crazy cold. But we got cupcakes, which made it worth it to Josy.



“Mom! I need help!”



Bella got to go out fishing. She also looks very cold...



It was National Childcare Workers Appreciation Day, so the boys made a stop on their way to school to get a present for their teachers.







Matt and Rachael sent me a singing Mother’s Day card. Josy loves it and loves to hit the button to make it sing. But it only sings a little part of the song, so when Cathy turned on the entire song on her phone he was very confused at how he could hear the song, but it wasn’t from the card...



Life is better if you have two hats on, right?

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.
