On the farm again…

  So this pretty much sums up the weekend.  Grandma and Grandpa taught Ryan a new card game and he was nothing short of obsessed with it. 

 

  Grandma fixed Megan’s prized possession…her pink pillow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Together again

 

 

 

 

 

 

 G and G saved us a little bit of snow.  The kids made the most of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A boy and his grandpa…

 

 

makes a mama’s heart glad.

Miss you Fakers.

Hmmmmm

I decided to vacuum under the couch since it had been, as they say, ‘a while’.    I figured out why there was so much room in the bookcase…

 

Next time one of the kids needs the ice pack, I’ll remember to look here instead of the freezer.  If you are looking for a housekeeper, I’m probably not your gal.

So now that it is clean under the sofa, I’ll try and get up pictures from our fun trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s tomorrow. 

For Elise

Erik Has a New Bed

I like my new bed.

My bed is a trundle bed.

It has wheels.

I like the bed because it is so big.

Mom can fit in it.

I like the animals that can go on it.

 

The End

By Erik

Erik Gets a New Bed

The delivery guy called a little before 8am to say he would be here in about 20 minutes.  Wouldn’t usually be my kind of way to start the day, but it worked out perfect.  They were in and out in less than ten minutes and we had plenty of time to get to our appointment.  I was so happy to not worry about getting back in time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Erik loves all of the superhero guys.  He knows all of their names.  He has never seen a show or movie.  Please don’t tell him there are shows and movies! : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

It’s the alligator’s job to keep him from falling out of the bed.

 

 

 

 

The roommate

Erik Gets a New Bed

Erik has a new bed.

Ryan has an old bed.

Elise and Will have the same size beds.

It is perfect.

It is brown.

It has Captain America sheets.

He can put his animals on it.

He can put his blankets on it.

He can sleep on it.

He can lay on it.

He can kneel on it.

He can pray on it.

He can read on it.

He can get on it.

Erik has a new bed!

Erik wrote this yesterday.  Hopefully, his story tomorrow will be how he slept all night on it…

The Director’s Last Night

 I told Erik that I wanted to take a picture of him on his last night in his toddler bed.  He reluctantly came into his room, ran over to the floor, and said, “Take a picture of me here.”

 

“Now take one like this.”

 

And then I said, “Get in your bed so I can take a picture of you in your bed!!”  Politely, of course.  Or sort of politely.

We had to go up in size so he has enough room amongst his friends and plethora of blankets.

 

 

“Now take one like this.  It’s like Captain America.”

 

Tomorrow the new bed arrives…if I get back in time from a short appointment.  I hope we aren’t the first on the list.  Erik has been counting down the days for a week.  I have been counting down getting the train table out of there for months.  Our little SuperHero is growing up!

Biker Chick

  Megan loves her bike.  It’s been so cold we haven’t been out on it much.  Every time we walk by it on the way to the car she longingly says, “Bike, bike.”

 

 

 

 No, really…she specifically asked for a ‘Giants’ bike.  No pink girly stuff.  Really.
