I give Justin a hug and kiss, and he asks me"Why you doin' dat mommy??" I tell Justin that I love him and he is my special 2 year old. He gets totally insulted (thankfully I had the camera attached to my hip and got a picture of his disgust!!) And says "NO I AM NOT" I say "ok...what are you then" He Growls back "I am 6 1/2" Then I laugh and he tries hard to hide his cute little smile but he cant do it, so we laugh at how silly he is.
Andy brings home the school mouse and gets to keep it over the weekend to take it on adventures. He brings it with to Haylee's house and buckles the mouse up safe and sound... when we get home, he "reads" the mouse the book, "If You Take a Mouse to School." Then we write and illustrate a story and stick it in the binder and he gets to read it to his friends at school.
Ryan is a big boy now... he has gotten 2 teeth, and figured out how to hold his very own bottle :) He still doesnt grasp tilting it up so it flows better...but he'll get there :)
Justin is practicing to be on the show "The Next Iron Chef" Quite the little chef I have!!
We got SOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We decide on a whim Saturday morning, to drive up to Duluth for the day. It was awesome fun!!! We brought the kids to the train museum. Dont worry, this track wasnt in use... its not like I had them hog tied anyway :)
Andy and Justin think that they are strong enough to move the train wheels. Keep tryin boys. If you do it, I will buy you anything you ever wanted... hahaha
Just had to get a picture in front of one of their favorites... A train signal :) Easy entertainment!!
Ryan takes a whack at imitaing a stick person at the Childrens Meuseum in Duluth.
My little men see the boat and the rest is history. We had to go "fishing" for about 15 minutes.
Then we drive up to Gooseberry Falls... now that I look at this picture, it isnt the one I wanted in here :( I have one that someone took of all of us in front of the waterfall. Oh well. It is crazy once you get up north and do something fun like this- all of the sudden the people who you know drove like jerkuses are super nice and friendly and offering to take your family picture :) Everyone is so happy and willing to take a minute to do a favor for someone else... Its the magic of being up there. It makes you a nicer person!!! :)
Ryan discovers a pine tree...
And finally, on Sunday, we painted our dining room. It is some sort of Toffee color. We are happy with this color!!!! ;)
(Justin is still trying to get used to eating lunch without his big brother Andy while he is at school...he looks so lonely all by himself at the table...)
It was a busy few days, but sooo much fun. It feels SO good to finally have grass- and I have been wishing we could go to Duluth for about 3 months now- and the painting..well...that will be an ongoing thing for probablly 6 months :) But one more room down!!!
