August 21st-27th

(8/21)  D cracks me up.  He has this fake cry and will come toward you fussing for a minute, then stop to suck his thumb.  I'll have to see if I can get it on video.

Kathy & I think J is working on getting *more* teeth.  He already has 8!  The boys had a pretty good day, but J is gnawing and drooling on everything!


(8/22) Busy day today. I made the boys blueberry pancakes this morning and stuffed 'em full before heading out to soccer.  After soccer, we ran to the library to pick up our books & videos on hold.  Then home for nap.  J was so tired that he fell asleep in the time it took me to bring D upstairs from the van and go back to get him. They took a decent nap, but C rudely interrupted it by going through the closet in their room (??!) and woke them early.

I discovered tonight that J is not a fan of lime sherbet.  He was fussing at me because I had something that he didn't, so I offered him a taste.  He got this horrified look on his face and cried louder. 

(8/23) Work day for me and Dad had the kiddos.  Nanan came to watch the kids this evening so we could go to a comedy show at Laughs.  Nanan said everything went great and kiddos were all tucked in when we got home.  Thanks, Nanan!


(8/24) Sarah had the kiddos today while Dad and I worked.  Sarah said they had a good day - they played, ventured out to Sbux, and then I joined them for dinner where they ate and ate and ate.  I turned my back at one point during dinner and D was splashing away in the water from his overturned cup.  Sigh. 


(8/25)  Nice day today! I got done with my run about the time that Dad had the littles in their high chairs.  We had breakfast together and then played for a while before heading out to the park for a coaches meeting.  The boys were about ready for a lunch and a nap, so were a little grumpy until we picked them up. Dana had J table dancing for our entertainment.


(8/26) C and I went hiking with Sarah & co today and the little guys got to hang with Dad.  It was nice to spend some time with the big boy, but I do wish I had 2 hiking packs.  Next year, we'll be chasing after them.


(8/27)  Happy Monday!  Kiddos are with their dad today and I am at work.
