Happy President's Day!!

I made the boys t-shirts of the Presidents from Mt. Rushmore for President's Day this year. Mikey has one too. Not sure how he missed out on his picture. You can tell which ones like to have pics taken and which ones tolerate it.

A Knight Out on the Town!

We took the boys to the Excalibur for dinner at Knights of the Roundtable. They had a great time!! We took the older three when they were younger but we had to cheer for the bad knight. That didn't go over real well. This year we cheered for the knight from Hungary. My parents came with us. They watched the boys faces more than the show.

Happy Birthday

This is the birthday cake my husband bought for me. I woke up to this and flowers on the table. He is so awesome. The boys have never been more excited for my birthday.

Blue and Gold

The annual cub scout banquet was this month. Layron doesn't turn 11 until June but he worked really hard to be able to get his Arrow of Light by the ceremony. Mikey earned several belt loops as well. They both made and decorated cakes with Neil. Mikey's is the wolf. Layron's is the arrow of light.

What?

I went to tuck Mikey and Seth in bed the other night and this is what I walked in to.

EIEIO

Erik found some toy animals I found in the dollar section. He started lining them up. He looked at the other bag and told me how lonely these animals were and that they reaaaaallllly needed to play with the other animals. So I let him open the other bag. He then matched each up with its partner. I guess we'll call him Noah.:) I made a farm set out of felt for his animals. The ark will have to wait.

Mentos and Soda is Explosive Fun

School Day

Go Fish

I made a fishing game for Erik for "F" week. My nephews really loved it so when Tanner had a birthday, I knew the perfect gift.

Boys!!! Little and Big

So this week was a boy week around here. I guess some things I just don't get. Like, why after ten minutes of whining, Mikey finally gets the broom to sweep the back porch. Neil comes out and says he has a better way to do that. Mikey was smiling from ear to ear while cleaning the porch with a leaf blower. Ten minutes ago he was in tears over his chores.

Neil also taught the boys how to start a fire with a magnifying glass. The boys were outside for THREE DAYS starting fires. (Safely of course) They got pretty good at it and actually got some good flames.
