"More More More"

About a month age Nick had a bad stomach flu. He lost a pound and was one sick little guy. Ever since then he seems to think that he is STARVING all of the time! He signs "MORE" almost 24-7. The funny thing is he eats every time he signs it! Here's a run down of a typical day's menu.

6:30 a bowl of oatmeal
7:00 a bowl of cereal
8:30 more oatmeal
10:00 fruit snack or crackers
nap
12:00 lunch
2:00 bowl of oatmeal
3:00 yogurt
4:30 crackers
5:30 dinner
7:00 bowl of oatmeal
8:30 bowl of oatmeal

And the funny thing is he really thinks he is Starving! You would have thought that Tyler and Matt would be eating us out of house and home, but nope! It's Nick!

Nail Polish!

Ok, so I NEVER paint my nails anymore. It's WAY to hard to paint them and have them dry before I have to help a child. But for that rare occasion where I feel like "dressing it all up" I still have the stuff in the bathroom. Well today Lucas found it and asked me to paint his nails. I did one hand in green sparkles and told him that once the baby was asleep I would do the other one. Well things got busy and we forgot. Forgot until Isaac came home and saw it on the counter that is!
I saw them in the bathroom painting each others toe nails. I decided to let it go and told them to stay in the bathroom until they were dry and to only paint nails. I SO SHOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN IT AWAY!!! A couple of minutes later I looked in on them and FREAKED! It looked like Nick was bleeding down his face! Well, really it was "just" nail polish. ALL OVER IN HIS HAIR AND RUNNING DOWN HIS FACE! GRRRRRRR!!! Thank goodness Kami had acetone nail polish remover and I was able to get it out of his hair.

BOYS!!!

Oh to be 3

Isaac: "Lucas can you share your water with me?"
Lucas: "No"........."well, do we have the same germs?"
Isaac: "of course"
Lucas: "Well, then SURE! If you were Tanner I would still say no cuz His germs are different than mine"

Mike and the Planning Commission

Well, the other night at the City Council meeting the Mayor presented Mike's name for the Planning Commission, and he was unanimously approved! It's not the City Council, but it is a great way for Mike to still serve AND it's all right up his alley! He's really excited and is looking forward to getting started this coming week! The swearing in Ceremony is Tuesday, and then it's all about getting down to business.......I guess!

Snakes snakes, snakes snakes and more snakes!

Lucas has been begging for his own snake for a while now, and Mike and I have been trying to trying to stall.....I mean did we really need 5 SNAKES??? Well, earlier this week a friend of mine from High School posted on Faceook that they were getting rid of 2 snakes! Wahoo! Needless to say I jumped on it and today we met and I came home with 2 more pets! Lucas is in heaven, and Nick is a little stressed. I'm sure that before long he'll love them too!

GO Team!

Well it's basketball time again! Tyler didn't want to play this year, but Matt was dying to play! And somehow Mike ended up as the coach! He was a little nervous, but he's done an AMAZING job so far! Last weeks game was SO much fun! The team that we played was really good, but we still killed em! GO MATT! (AND MIKE!!)

The PINEWOOD DERBY!!!!

This is Matt's VERY FIRST Pinewood Derby, and Man was he excited! He made the greatest Star Wars speeder EVER! He worked SO hard, and I am so proud of him! The coolest thing about the card is that it played the Star Wars theme music! Mike had gotten a B-day card from my Mom and Don (the kind that when you open it up it plays music) anyway, they took that apart and used the parts on the car. Every time Matt sent it down the track he pulled the paper out and it played the music while racing! It was AWESOME!!
