Hazzards of Life

Ok so I have been slacking but here is the latest with our family. Last week Jake came running around the corner and caught the top of his foot on the leg of the computer chair and went down. Poor kid limped around all day and about every three or four steps he was tearing up. So I tried not to have him walk to much but figured that he just bruised it really bad. We took him to the Doc. the next day and yep he had broken his foot. Lucky for us it was not a bad break and they were able to just cast it, they didn't have to set bones or anything fun like that. He has been such a trooper! We have had a few tears but over all he has adjusted well. He is even running around on it now. He has only asked to have it taken off a few times and even tried telling me that it was the wrong color to see if I would take it off for that. Kids are so smart. Now if they were only not so clumsy.

Pirate Ships

So this was a fun day at the Home Depot. This months project was Pirate Ships, as you can see we couldn't get Matt to hold still long enough for any pics but he did let me get a few when we got home. Jake had such a good time, he couldn't wait to make it float, it's a good thing that he is willing to float it on the carpet and the tables since this one can't go into the water. Jake loves getting to use any tools he can find. Mom only ended up with one smashed finger and a little bit of blood (good thing Jake wanted to paint his red). Can't wait till next month, gotta love Home Depot for entertaining the kids especially during the winter. It was packed their were all kinds of kids there it was pretty fun & a little crazy.

Halloween

Here are some pics from Halloween, the boys had a good time. They got way to much candy and were totally spoiled. Jake has finally figured out what to do at Halloween. He had so much fun Trick or Treating. Matt wasn't real sure about any of this but he has been really glad that he got "4 MORE TEETH", this last weekend that now gives him 12 chompers to eat his candy he doesn't know how to do one at a time it's crazy. Of course I think Granny & Papa's was the favorite stop w/Aunt Karla & James a close 2nd. Jake has already decided who they are both going to be next year.

Lightning McQueen

So the other day when Jake & I were reading stories before nap time, I asked him to read my his Cars Story. (one of his favorites). So he opened the cover and read to me "My Leslie loves me & my Toria loves me" I then realized that he was reading to me inside the front cover, I usually read this part to him when I read him the story. It was so cute, that he thought it was part of the story. I think he misses them a bit he asks probably once a week if they can come over to play.
