We’re Short 2 Kids

March 18, 2008 – 3:20 am
We sent our “big” boys to Houston to be with Rick’s parents for 4 days. This is our first time ever sending them off without us. They were SO excited. Nano (R’s mom) took them swimming, bike riding, to the museum to see the dinosaur exhibit, and the list goes on and on. They then went to Melissa’s horse farm (R’s sister) to play with their cousins & fishing with Granddaddy. What a great time they are having.
In the mean time…. Life at our house is really well, quiet! We spent our last 4 days with 2 kids saying wow this is really easy! What do people do with 2 kids? Well for one they have conversations! Imagine that?! I don’t know how many times we said “it’s so quiet” over the last 4 days.
Here is what it looks like to have 2 kids.
They play quietly. There is NO fighting. I have not referred a fight since Sat.
They share their toys. There is no competition between them. They are not the same age. ha!
 This has been refreshing. I think I will sign them up for summer at Nano’s! :) Don’t get me wrong we miss our little buddies, they add a lot of life to our house. But sometimes a little break from 1,000 questions a day, and the constant fighting between child #2 and child #3 can be a good thing to keep a mommy sane.

Big Griff

March 14, 2008 – 2:34 am


The amazing weather is back again!! 77 and sunny, what more could you ask for? I took a few shots of Griffin on his bike with no training wheels today. They’ve been riding this way for a month now, but we had no pictures of it. So here they are. Griffin is feeling really comfortable on his bike. We live on a culdasac that goes downhill so it can be a little scary, well not to him, to his mommy who watches on nervously.

The Birthday Easel

March 13, 2008 – 1:39 am
Last Friday we received a huge box at our door. We did not tell the kids. After we put them to bed Rick and I opened it up and it was a fantastic new Easel for the boys for their 5th birthday. This great gift is from Nano & Granddaddy (R’s parents). It’s a good thing we didn’t tell them, because it had a TON of little pieces and took us over an hour to assemble. Its very durable and has a chalk board on one side, a magnetic dry erase board on the other. The middle has a big roll of paper for painting, and there are even shelves for the paint & chalk on each side. We are very pleased with it. They have spent lots of good quality time with their new easel. For example here is a lovely drawing of Maggie, our Golden Retriever.
Carson “Daddy does Maggie have four legs?” Both “look Daddy we even drew Maggie’s boo-boos”. I was upstairs and could hear Rick laughing hysterically, saying “get the camera”. Most golden retrievers have really dry skin. So they chew on their legs for relief or it could be out of boredom. Maggie has been doing this since she was a pup. We call them “hot spots”. Well take a closer look at the drawings back leg. Yes that is a hot spot. They didn’t want to leave any details out did they? ha! Funny boys!

This one’s for you Scott…

March 12, 2008 – 3:47 am
Rick’s cousin Scott (from Richmond, VA) is in town for business. He came over for dinner tonight, to hang out, see our house and wrestle. Yes I said wrestle. When we told the big boys that Daddy’s cousin Scoot was coming they wanted to know one thing and one thing only.
“Does he like to wrestle?” Well seeing that Scott & his wife Meghan have 2 yr old Boy/Girl twins, we said “Yes he does”. So he was signed up for wrestling before he even arrived (poor Scott, just wanted a home cooked meal). We told Carson NOT to ask him to wrestle the second he walks in the door. So he patiently waited and told Scott at dinner, that he had to wait to ask him to wrestle, because Mommy told him not to ask when he walked in the door.
So they wrestled. Rick took pictures on Scott’s camera, so maybe he’ll email them over so I can add them to this post. Anyway Scott is a dedicated blog reader of ours, he may be the only one in our family! ha! But he reads it so Scott this ones for you buddy. Thanks for coming over we had a great time talking “twin talk”. Oh and when you left Griffin came out of his room crying because he wanted to say goodbye & hug you. They said they watched you from their window and they were so sad. Carson’s exact words were “I wanted him to stay for 50 days“. ha! Not sure Meghan would go for that. :)
