This post is going from most recent backwards. I can't stand how blogger uploads pictures. It's totally opposite of how you want it too and it takes too much time to sort out the order you want to do! And then you can only select 5 pictures at a time. Ok, maybe I'm just lazy, but I still think it's annoying. I also can't stand how I have to do extra editing because it decides to add in space where I don't want it. I've been really aggrivated lately by technology trying to get smarter than me. It's just not working for me. My new laptop thinks it knows when and how far I want to scroll down the screen and don't even get me started on the new MSOffice suite. I know what I want to do...just let me do it! Phew...thanks for listening.
Today Ethan and I bought a new toy! It's called The Executive Football Toss but it's just right for a 2 1/2 year old. We've been playing with it non stop and seeing how many of E's existing balls fit in the slots. It also doubles as a sweet tent.
I see him every day, but somehow he has gotten bigger when I wasn't looking. He felt heavier this morning and just look at him in this picture! He is so not a baby anymore which is probably why I've been calling him my baby more than ever these days. I've got to stop...I'm going to create a monster.
Ethan can't wait to have a helmet of his own. Ironic huh!? Until then...he likes to wear daddy's.
Last weekend Ethan and I went to play with our new friend The Howards. Charlie and Ethan are 2 weeks apart and Will is a year younger. I work with Dave and Steph and I are getting to be very good friends. They live just a couple of miles down the street so you'll be seeing a lot more of them I think! Howards...welcome to the blog!
We took a long walk in the woods with the boys and they had a great time ignoring us and going down all different paths. When they got tired, we had them march like they were in a marching band.
Last Friday we had Caleb, Adelina and Katie over for lunch. I finally got around to giving Adelina her welcome to the world gifts and the boys enjoyed opening them. It's a good thing I wrapped separately!
This is the most amazing thing. Katie can just put Adelina down and she'll go to sleep! Neither of our boys ever possessed that capability. We still rock them to sleep sometimes! This was amazing because there was music on and 2 toddlers running around her. She is such a sweetie.
The Krangle's spent a few days with us between the end of their lease and the closing on their house. Ethan and Katie had a lot of time together that week between school and home but they were great! It's nice to have a couple of kids together to entertain each other. The first night we had a great summer cookout.
It's nice when you can play them off of each other too..."oh Ethan, look at what a good job Katie does brushing her teeth...".
We thought they'd have a great time in the bath together, but E was not up for it. I gave them each a washcloth and of course E wanted the one I gave to Katie and she was not giving it up. I got out another washcloth exactly the same as the one I gave Katie and it even had a ducky on it, but it wasn't good enough. They ended up with 4 washcloth's in the tub with them before it was all over.
The second night they were with us the kids disappeared upstairs. We weren't sure what they had gotten into when it got so quiet, but it turns out they had climbed into E's chair and Katie was reading to him! It was so precious.
A few weeks ago we headed up to Goffstown for my Auntie Barbie's 50th birthday party! It was a really great party with a band and everything but my camera battery died after I took this picture. I have to get others from AJ and GJ.
I'm off to try and do something productive with what time I have left of his nap!!
