1. The playhouse
Mike has put in LOTS of hours on this house. We are all in love. Today the boys were finally able to play in their new hideout and it was fabulous. Even Nash joined in on the fun. It will be crazy when we start to add all the accessories.
I am insanely impressed with how well the project is going and how quickly it is all going up. I am not going to lie--it still makes me a tad nervous. This thing is HUGE and I don't want any of our littles or anyone else's littles falling off.
Super impressed Rouzer-- thank you!
2. The four walls
This picture is not within the four walls...BUT it shows the disasters that takes place. This weekend while Mike (and sometimes Owen) worked in the backyard I took over Jack duty. As noted before he just likes to be with his brothers. This weekend I essentially held fort in the twins room. I ended up washing their windows and folding all of our laundry while in their room. Needless to say, the boys were on great behavior this weekend and they were super easy -- mom was just a tad bit bored.
3. Easter egg hunt
This morning I took out all of our old, plastic eggs. The boys created matches and then I added jelly beans or pennies. After lunch we had our own Easter egg hunt. It was simple, easy, and the perfect activity to break up the day. As you can see in this picture--Cameron is searching for eggs while Jack is still trying to figure the whole thing out.
It makes the list frequently -- as it should. Today was a little bit chilly but had wonderful moments of sunshine. Those moments were heavenly. While the boys played in the new tree house I decided to take Jack on a wagon ride down the street AND on my way I picked up Jude.
They were pretty quiet for most of the trip but eventually Jack just started cracking up. Jude was moving and trying to move the wagon and Jack thought it was hilarious. Anyways -- cheers to the sunshine.
This afternoon I went to lunch with Laura, Amy & Shelby. We all met on 3North and though non of us are there anymore it is sort of like this bond that links us all together. I am having a hard time putting into words how the afternoon out made me feel. I can easily say that it was wonderful hanging out with old friends. Though I see Shelby all of the time-- I never get to chat with Amy or Laura. I am looking forward to our next afternoon out.
6. The weekend
I just need to give a shout out to the weekend. All week us M-F, 8-5 people LIVE (like absolutely LIVE) for the weekends. I think that this was one of those weekends that lived up to the hype. We did absolutely NOTHING and it was fabulous. We ate leftovers and we watched movies. We popped popcorn and played with lots and lots and lots of legos. Each day I sat down with one of the twins individually and they read me two books. We played in the sunshine and Mike worked on the tree house. Sheets were changed and laundry was competed. MOST of the windows in the house were washed....inside AND out. Both adults were able to sleep in. The kids were in good spirits AND behaving wonderfully. I rocked Jack to sleep more than once and Mike fell asleep with him last night. This weekend has been pretty wonderful.
7. Owen fell in the toilet
I needed to write it out because I have not laughed that much in awhile. A few nights ago while brushing his teeth, Owen fell into the toilet. I was standing outside of the bathroom holding Jack while he was brushing his own teeth. The twins were standing there and Owen backed into the toilet to sit down (he thought that the lid closed) and he slowly fell into a toilet that was filled with pee.
I was not mom of the year and I immediately started laughing so hard. I think that since I was laughing that Owen started laughing and then it was contagious. It was hilarious. I WISH that you could of seen his face. Even Owen said, "too bad we were not making a home video because then you could of sent it in and we could of won."
