Bubble Bath Fun

These pictures just crack me up (taken on my phone, so the quality isn't great). The boys' favorite new thing to do in the bathtub is float with just their faces sticking out of the bubbles...they think it's so fun and it cracks us up.

Home Haircut

This morning, our curious, into everything, son John, got up on the toilet and reached the shelf with Daddy's beard clippers. He then proceeded to give himself a reverse mohawk...


We had no choice but to shave the rest of his head. Our poor baby looks like Mr. Clean...it's gonna be a cold winter :(

Halloween 2009

We had a fabulous time this year on Halloween. Our good friends Chaney, Marin and Logan (our boys' brother from another mother) came over for a yummy dinner, complete with "dirt cake" dessert. We then dressed up the kids for trick-or-treating...John was Cat in the Hat, Ethan was Kung Fu Panda and Logan was Rocky. A fun evening was had by all...complete with sugar highs, lows and meltdowns. Overall though...it was a fabulous Halloween!

Our Little Magician

Ethan, or "The Amazing Ethan", whichever you prefer, learned a magic trick. He always says "watch this...", then does his trick (sorry the video is sideways...couldn't figure out how to rotate it). Make sure you turn on your sound so you can hear his "watch this..." in his very magician-like voice :).

The Yucks

Well, it's been a bit of a rough couple of days in our household. Ethan came down with a terrible barky cough early Wednesday morning...sounded HORRIBLE. We took him to urgent care and it turns out he has croup. No treatment necessary except his inhaler (only needs it when he is sick). As of this morning, his cough isn't as dry and we think he's on the mend.

On that same day (Wednesday), Ethan fell asleep around 2:30, so I decided to give John a bath while daddy napped with Ethan. After 30 minutes of splashing around in the tub, he was ready to get out. Long story short, he stood up and went to step out of the tub, slipped and caught the under side of his chin on the edge of the tub. I was literally inches away ready to wrap him up in a towel and just couldn't catch him. Lots of bleeding and another trip to urgent care later, John ended up with 3 stitches. He was sooooo brave...didn't cry at all.

Now, they've both had stitches. We're hoping for an uneventful weekend :). Here's a picture of our brave boy, John, at the doctor's office getting his chin "fixed"...

Crapcorn

Dear John,

The correct pronunciation is "pop-corn".

Love,
Mommy

More Funny Sayings

This afternoon on the way home from preschool, John was acting up in the back seat. I said to him "John Adam...be nice". A few minutes later, he said to "Mommy Adam...where are we going?".

Tonight Daddy and I were snuggling with the boys and I was giving Ethan big hugs and I said to him "you're my baby boy". He looked at me adoringly and said "you're my baby mama".

Sometimes they totally crack us up. Such goofballs!
