Is it really March?

Last Monday I had a fever and was feeling extremely tired so Hubby took part of the day off and came home to watch the kids for me while I slept. The kids were complaining about how warm it was and John decided to get out the slip-n-slide for them. However he couldn't find it and so they had to go the old fashioned way and just play with the hose. Most of the kids had fun. Big bro. said it was a little cold and Sissy hated walking on the dry grass with her bare feet. Bubba lately has been our little devil and had fun getting everyone wet. I didn't get a picture of Little bro. but he was sitting in the doorway laughing at the kids as they were screaming with delight. Fortunately the weather has cooled off a little and so I still have time to get the kids some shorts and sandals before it stays warm.

It was hard getting a picture of Sissy because she kept going in the house to look for shoes.

Big bro. looks like he is freezing but it really wasn't that cold. And I do feed my kids but here it looks like Big bro. doesn't have any meat on his body.

Our little Devil child. He loved getting Daddy all wet and he even has a little laugh when he is doing it.

Silly Boys

Sometimes the boys say the cuteset things. This week Bubba came to me and asked me to sing the "Rock man" song. I had no idea what he was taking about and then he did the hand actions to it. It turned out to be the Wise man built his house upon the rock. I then asked him what other songs he sings in nursery. He said they sing Jesus wants me for a Sunbean, Head and Knees Toes, Bookmans stories, and Ring a Rosie.
Big bros' story of the week happened with Hubby. Hubby took him into the restroom at a gas station. As Big bro. was wiping he told John that wiping his bum is choosing the right. John agreed what else could he say. It is the right thing to do.

Little bro. is 4 months

Little bro. had his four month appointment this last week. He is actually in the 79th percentile for his height and 75 for his weight. After having Bubba being so small for his age it is so nice to have a bigger baby. Now if he'll just stay this chubby everything will be great. Although him eating every 2 hours can sometimes be inconvenient. The doctors looked at his "Browns' " thighs and all she said was wow those are some healthy looking thighs. Funny how healthy looking really means big and yet everyone wants to be healthy.
Last night he finally rolled over. He had been trying all day and last night during dinner he did it. I'm so happy that he is getting big. Except now I just can't leave him on the couch or edge of the bed.

Snow Day

Tuesday morning we woke up to snow. It was so wonderful. The school called and let us know that school was cancelled for the day. The kids were so excited. They started asking if they could go outside at 6:30 and I finally let them go out around 8:30. It was so cold but the kids had fun throwing the snow at each other. By noon it was all melted but for a couple of hours it seemed like winter. Bubba stayed out the longest and now has a little bit of a cold. This morning he came and told me that his "noe is nuffy". Someday he will be able to pronounce his S's . Oh and on an even happier note my dishwasher was fixed this morning.

Package Day

I've had a couple of not really bad weeks but defintely not good weeks. Our dishwasher went out 2 weeks ago and is still not fixed. The repair man said that is would cost around $400 to fix it so John is trying to find a better deal. Until then I have to do dishes by hand. Okay it doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but when I have to wash dishes 2-3 times a day it gets pretty boring. I'm also now babysitting. Most days aren't too bad, but lately there has been a lot more fighting between the kids. And then just other issues. WOW, I didn't mean to complain so much in this but I had to tell you a little background on us so you could see the good of the day. Here is the good news, as the boys would say, I was checking the mail and wondering how many bills we would have this time and to my surprise there was a package instead. The kids were super excited asking who it was from. I told them from Grandma and Grandpa Boring. Their reply oh the ones' with Angel. As soon as we got home we opened it up and took out all the goodies. Seeing the kids so excited put me in such a better mood. As did the card that they sent me. The kids love getting packages from Grandma and Grandpa Boring. I'm so grateful that they spend the time to send gifts to the kids each holiday.
