Boys Will Be Boys!

I was one of four girls, so this whole "boy" thing is new to me. When we were little, my sisters and I had the Fischer Price Doctor kit. It provided us hours of entertainment. I remember listening to their hearts, and fixing broken baby dolls with it! My mom saved the kit, and it's still at her house for the grandkids to play with. I had such fond memories, that we got Curtis the kit last year.

Today, Curtis and Johnny were playing with the kit in the bedroom, when Curtis came running out looking for a towel. I could hear Johnny yelling in the background, "Oh NO, I'm all wet!" I asked Curtis what was wrong, and he just said, "Johnny's Wet!" I went in the room, and found Johnny (who is perfectly healthy) sitting covered in puke. The little Fischer Price thermometer was sitting next to him covered as well. I asked Curtis what happened, and he said, "Nof-thing, I dist taked Johnny's temperature and he got all wet." Which pretty much means, " I just shoved the themometer down Johnny's throat, gagged him, and made him puke!" That is something that my sisters and I NEVER did with the doctor kit!

SAD DAY...

If you are a VIKINGS FAN! Wish I was in Minnesota to give my neighbors a hard time! Hoping that Kyle and Megan are doing that for me. We got the game "live" over here for the second week in a row! GO PACK GO...4-0!

Go Pack Go!

This picture is dedicated to all our neighbors back home at Minnesota! We miss you! Go Pack Go!

Beautiful Day

Curtis thinking he's SO funny, giving his mother a heart attack!

Daddy's BOY!
More from my little "dare-devil!"
Nothing like an afternoon game of pingpong at your local park.
The moon, at 6am, on Thursday morning above the sea!

Thursday was a beautiful autum day- sunny skies and temps about 6o. When Curtis was at school, I took Johnny to the produce stand, butcher, and bakery and we got all the fixin's for a picnic. After we picked up Curtis, we called Erik and told him to meet us outside of his office, at a small park! Was a great day to spend some time outside!

Rain Rain Go AWAY...

After another rainy week in Holland, I was going stir crazy. I called my friend Lynn, and we packed up our kids in their rain outfits. We drove to the hiking trail near the Queens house.
The kids were happy to get out....
an splash in ANY puddle they wanted to!


We ended up spending 2 hours in the forest and an hour in the bathtub when we got home! When the tub drained, and there was a thick layer of dirt on the bottom, you know it was a GREAT day!

My Chocolate Lover

Johnny has learned at the young age of two that everything is better if it involves chocolate. If you get him a donut, he asks for chocolate. If you give him a pink one, he won't eat it. Recently, he started to get interested in going to the bathroom on the "big boy" potty. If he does, he gets a few M&M's as a reward. We are just begining to do this, but he seems to be loving it. This picture above is one of my favorite pictures of him! He is SO proud of the three M&M's he earned!
