Owie

Owie. Abel. So curious and has no fear.  He tries hard to keep up with his brother. Falls but gets right back up-after a short mom hug and a few tears.  Luckliy a kiss from Mom and a little icecream helps the owie go away. The drive way is going to be rough on you this summer.

                              Enjoying a sunny day together. Eating icecream cones on the deck.

Still waiting....

Shark bites!

 We are STILL waiting for spring! Man do we want to go outside and play. Since it's still a little snowy and cold outside went hang out at the MOA this weekend. We have a pass to the under water world. It's a nice excuse to get some walking in, window shop and have the boys check out some animals.

My boys. They have so much energy- some days I don't know how we keep up to the them. This is why is nice to have them run around some where besides the house. I think we are all sick f the house right now. I think ever one was fibbing last year when they said MN was so warm! Ha I'd like to see it. Maybe that will help the sun come out if I make it a bet!
Abel-
so many words starting to come out. I think I forget to write them down. Here are a few of the newer things he is saying.
-sit down Momma
-right there
-No - he loves to use this one for every thing!
-"ine" or mine
I love that more words come every day!

Spring.....

The boys planting there first plants

 So there was one day that it felt almost like spring. I enjoyed the thunder strom last night but then woke up to snow! Boo. That's why I wanted to share these pictures. These were taken last week when the sun was shining and the snow was almost melted.

 The little plants from Grandma. We were hoping they would grow up but I'm sure the snow didn't help.

The Paper

 We have been getting the Sunday paper at our house. Even though I have nevered ordered the paper. Kinda wierd right? I'm not sure who to even call to cancel the delivery. Since we get the paper I have been making an effort to actually read them. There is an art to reading the newspaper. It is not like holding a book or ereader. This is old school paper. It reminds me of big maps. I'm always clumsy with them. I can never refold them and I just make a mess with it. Here I am giving the boys a chance to learn the art of reading a paper.
