Rocket Boy and Rocket Girl

I am posting this For Grandma Schulz, so I hope this is not disturbing to anyone else who might be reading. One sunny day last week the kids and I were playing outside. We came in for lunch. The kids were hot so they decided to take their clothes off. While I was making lunch Grandma Schulz called, and the next thing I knew there were two new super heros in the house. Hewson and Cameron stuck footballs in their underwear and called themselves Rocket Boy and Rocket Girl.

Sweet Kids

St. Patrick's Day

This year we decided to really celebrate St. Patrick's Day and do it pretty much all week. On Monday Jeremy read to the kids about St. Patrick;s day and how it originated. Then that night we had our friend Kristen over and we made yummy, green cupcakes. On Tuesday we shared the cupcakes with Neighbors and a band that was staying with us. Then on the actual day we made sure to all wear green, and we ate lots of green food. We ate green yogurt, green cherry juice, and for dinner the kids had green pancakes, green grapes, and Cameron brought out the pickles. She said we should have these too because they were green. I think she ate three. We also made Shamrocks. That evening I had some more friends over for dinner. We ate a really yummy salad and Our friend Josh cooked some amazing Chicken with some green in it. (Jeremy is gone this week)

Moby Wrap

My friend, Bekah made herself a moby wrap and then made me one. I love it. It is very comfortable and easy to use. Roland is at the stage where he is awake more and wants to be held more, so this is very helpful. Thanks friend.

Laundry Princess

Laundry is something that seems pretty non-stop in our house. Cameron is a big helper with chores, and she even likes to help fold laundry. She doesn't really know how, so she usually just hands me things or finds all of the socks. On this day she was a princess and she made her home in my laundry.

Lego King

Hewson made al sorts of lego creations all weekend. He asked us to build with him, and whomever came over to build too. If he liked what you built it went on the coffee table. If he did not like it, or it was not cool enough, it went back in the box.

Poopy Afternoon.

Now from the title you might think that the afternoon was all bad, but it was not. I bet many of you can relate to this and it is a little comical. Okay, a lot comical. Last Friday it had been raining the night before so it was wet outside, so Hewson's soccer practice was cancelled. Fridays we have also labeled as Friday fun days. The kids get to play video games and we do not do school, and we try and go somewhere. Well on this Friday the kids had decided that we were going to build lots of lego things, decorate the house with them and call it a lego Christmas. I will post pictures of some lego creations later. Anyway the kids stayed in their PJ's and by the afternoon they wanted to go outside. So we got ready with Jackets, and i put Roland in the BJorn (I let them keep their Pj's on). It took us some time to get all situated. We finally went outside to play frisbee, and Hewson threw it to me, and then I threw it to him, and boom. Smack, I hit him right in the face with the frisbee on my first throw. He lost it and was crying very hysterical (he is a little dramatic). We went back in the house. Jeremy came up from the studio because it sounded like he cut his hand off. Finally when he calmed down and he went back out, I heard crying again. I went out and he said it is raining. We had missed our window. I stood on the porch and said what a poopy afternoon. Then we looked up and there was the most beautiful double rainbow. It was for Hewson. He even told Cameron when I went inside for the camera that he was so glad God finally sent a rainbow again. The rain stopped and we were able to play.
