when I leave my children home with their father while he's trying to play Xbox with his brother.
My sister in law and I went out for a little bit and I came home and ended up finding this little surprise in the corner of our playroom. You can see the empty box and the evidence of all the munched on strawberries that my sister in law had bought to make a yummy dessert with. I have one word for you.....Luke. Its no wonder Steve and Allen were able to play their video games. Hahaha.....
Quote #1: Setting the Picture: Its Ethan's birthday and Clay and Mae are over to celebrate. Luke is crouching behind our recliner flipping through some magazine in the basket there. Clay is sitting in the chair. Clay: Luke are you going poop? Luke: Yeah (A few minutes pass) Clay: Luke, that smells delicious (said sarcastically). Luke: Clay, my poo's not delicious! Quote #2 Luke's latest development is that he says "I can't say the words" when he doesn't know the name for something or how to put his sentence together. Yesterday we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific for Ethan's birthday and on the way there Luke was talking about it but he forgot the name of the place we were going (Aquarium). So he said to me, "Mom, I can't say the words." This little boy makes me laugh!!
Ethan's fourth (did I really just say that? has it REALLY been four years already? I can't believe it.) birthday is quickly approaching. We are trying out a tradition that my sister in law does - every other year is family only birthday celebrations. Since Ethan's birthday is on Tuesday, his first day back to school after "spring break," I'll take some cupcakes and party decorations in for his teacher to have a little party during their snack time. Then we'll have a special dinner and birthday party with family that night. We've planned to take Ethan to the Aquarium of the Pacific for his birthday (that's the trade off of no friends birthday party) so that will happen sometime during birthday week. I think he and Luke will LOVE the Aquarium. I'm so excited to take them there. He chose a racetrack cake this year. I think the picture looks awesome but I'm unsure of my ability to reproduce it. We'll see how it goes. I have a good friend in Texas that just made a spectacular skateboard cake for her little guy and she was afraid of how it would turn out. Hers was amazing so I'm hoping for similar results. I mean how hard can it be, right? Cake, frost, throw some M&M's on the side, crumble some cookies for the track and voila! Ehhhhhh....
Me: Do you have a big heart or a little heart, Ethan? Ethan: Big Me: What's in your heart? Ethan: Um, crackers and cheese aaannnnnnddd....I want popsicle!
This is how I feel right now. I'm at that stage in my pregnancy that I wonder if I'm pregnant or just gaining weight via the rationalization that I'm pregnant. I went for a walk on Saturday morning then got home and puked. Needless to say, I'm scared to exercise but I feel like everything is getting too big, too soon. Oh boy.
