Look Mom, a Castle!

I thought this was the cutest thing Joey had said in a long time. So I thought I would share with everyone what Joey thought was a castle:

This house is really close by and we drive by it often when coming home from the store or just going out and about. It really does look like a castle.

So cute - just wanted to share.

I guess I should update sometime

This weekend I will be updating with pictures from Easter. I have been really remiss in updating the blog and I hope to become better at it in the future.

I have several cute stories to tell and thought it was a good time to get started. We will see how it goes.

See you all in the blogsphere.

Wow What a Weekend!

First thing I have to say about this weekend...I AM GLAD IT IS MONDAY!!!

All started late last week. Jeff had a scratchy throat and then I developed the same thing. Friday I felt OK, gargled with some salt water to help with the throat and went about my day. By the end of the day, I was having cold spells and sweats.

I ended up staying in bed until noon on Saturday - which I never do. I had zero energy or appetite all weekend. Jeff even took care of the laundry on Sunday. I went ot bed a 9pm on Friday & Saturday night.

I am feeling a better today - still very low energy and can't concentrate on much of anything for very long. At least I woke up this morning hungry.

So far, the boys seem to just be getting a slight stuffy nose so hopefully they will not get what I had.

This is the worst I have felt in a long time - hopefully it will be a long time before I get this sick again.

Valentine's Day

Just want to share with everyone a picture of Kurtis' valentines day box for school.

Nothing about my son is "normal":

Yes - that is a dinosaur valentine's day box. The teacher loved it because it was so different. Jeff helped Kurtis make it with paper mache. When it was dry Kurtis and I painted it. I made the sign.

We had a nice day. We did nothing really special but Jeff did get me a necklace from Things Remembered that we can have the boys birthdays engraved on.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day.

As promised - New Bed Pictures!

Here is what the new arrangement looks like - Kurtis is on top bunk (loft) with Joey underneath in the captian's bed.

Joey is trying out the new bed - pretending to be asleep.

Joey finally asleep in his new bed!

Joey did not fall asleep right away. Was probably about 9:30 before he fell asleep but he did not get out of the bed and play in the room. He just laid there - trying to fall asleep like a big boy. We also did not but up a rail - well because the one we had we could not find the strap for it. Joey did not roll out of the bed. He did wake up several times last night but he was able to get himself back to sleep without getting up.

Wow - they grow up so fast. Next hurdle - potty training (maybe this summer???)
