Happy St. Patrick's Day

We are four days out of Springing Forward to daylight savings time but we're still having a hard time getting our bodies adjusted. To help get Jack downstairs for breakfast this morning I told him he had a surprise waiting for him from the leprechaun. That seemed to do the trick and he came down to his seat at the table to find a little pot o' gold coins! He was very excited to have more money to put into his piggy bank!


But it wasn't long before he was asking "how long until I get something else in my little pot?" We had a long talk about how the holiday's only come once a year (365 days he has to wait) before we shifted our attention to Easter and what the Easter Bunny might bring him. Of course, I had made the mistake of buying a Star Wars egg decorating kit with him present, so now I get asked everyday, "can we color eggs today?" What was I thinking!?!



Jack helped Ethan with his pot of gold, as all Ethan wanted to do was toss the pot all over the house!



We had St. Patrick's Day cards to open from Nana and Granddad, so we got them on the computer while the boys opened up their cards. They were very excited to get the cards and more gold coins to put in their banks.









Now I just have to think of something yummy for dinner that the boys will actually eat....

Hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
