It’s President’s Day and while Robert has to work, the boys and I have the day off! yay!
We’re off to enjoy it! Hope you do too!
ps – why can’t they both be looking at the camera and smiling in the same picture? too much to ask I guess! 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is all about red and pink, we just didn’t know that was going to apply to our eyes! ha! The pink eye plague around here has made us feel like this…
But, thanks to some antibiotic drops, we’re doing MUCH better and ready for a fun Valentine’s Day! We made these for Maxwell’s class…
I gave him the choice of a few things and he voted for the balls. A little crafty but not too much work – perfect. I obviously put them together but he carefully colored on each label…in orange of course! And then I made these for his teachers…
I just used an app on my phone, printed them out on card stock and taped a Starbucks card to the back! voila!
Btw, in the age of Pinterest and handmade v. store bought Valentines, I thought this post hit it spot on. We’re all doing the best we can in this game called motherhood. I went a little crafty because I love that kind of stuff. Plus, I have two boys so I know the days of them letting me make Valentines for their friends is limited and I’m gonna take advantage while I can! 🙂
I also signed up for the Valentine party at his school so sent these chocolate dipped Rice Krispie treats for the party. Yum!
I hope you all have a happy day full of love!
Happy Valentine’s Day from my two little loves!
Around here
Around here? Well, this one is sick.
He has a “raging” ear infection in his right ear and pink eye in his right eye. Ugh. His throat hurts too and he could have strep but Dr. Walley basically said there was no reason to put him through the strep test because he’ll be on antibiotics for his ear anyway. Maxwell literally finished a round of amoxicillin last Wednesday and is now starting another round of a different antibiotic. Can we please get a break from the winter sickness?
Luckily, this one is healthy and I’m praying he doesn’t catch his brother’s pink eye!
Update – spoke too soon. Spencer woke up with major pink eye in his right eye. Ugh. Double rounds of antibiotic drops!
We had another “snow day” here yesterday where they cancelled school but no precipitation really came. They did the same thing on Tuesday. Everyone is just a little overly cautious around here these days after the Snowpocalypse of 2 weeks ago!
Ending today with a little video of my two little dudes entertaining themselves at the car dealership last weekend. We went to look at cars for Robert which meant he got to test drive and talk to the salesman while I tried to entertain the boys in the dealership! After the boys climbed all over the seats and console of the test car (which I’m sure the salesman loved)…
we did find this empty and pretty soundproof room which provided plenty of entertainment! I just love watching Spencey toddle around!
Can’t see the video? click here.
See you tomorrow with some Valentine fun!
A little more dining room fun
As you saw yesterday, underneath the dining room table is fun, but it’s even more fun when big brother joins!
Love these silly boys!
Obstacle course redux
Happy Monday! Hope you all had as good and productive a weekend as we did. Some fun pictures of Spencey today very reminiscent of these from when Maxwell was 11 months. Those have always been some of my favorite pictures and I loved capturing Spencer doing almost the same thing at 15 months!
Over, under, around, and through!
Finally he makes his escape!
Who needs toys when there are dining room tables to be played with, right?!
Make it a great week and see you tomorrow!
