Last weekend was no different. VERY rainy, windy and cold! We started the day a little slow. Lounged on the couch in the morning and watched the movie, "Cars." Adam each morning when you wake up you call me in to your room and for the last three weeks or so, the first words out of your mouth are, "K-Chow!" This is what Lightning McQueen says all the time in "Cars." You like to come down stairs and wake up slowly, just like mom. You cuddle under my over sized blanket and watch the first half hour or so of this movie. That Saturday was no different!
After the movie, we had some breakfast and did some coloring. This wasn't just ordinary coloring though. We broke out the LARGE paper role and ripped off a piece that covered the whole kitchen table! On this paper we made, "Radiator Springs" where all of the cars characters live. JD, made parking spaces, for all the cars and Adam scribbled some colors on top to make "Leaves fall." Adam, it wasn't long before you spilled some cranberry juice on your half!
Later in the day we decided to tie dye some shirts! Adam loves his tie dye shirt and we all like to color all the time, so we figured we would give it a shot. Mom took control and we went down to the dungeon (basement) to make the shirts! We all had SO much fun! JD, you were very calculated in stringing on your rubber bands and dipping your colors. You are turning into a perfectionist and you exhibited some of these qualities on this day. Adam, you just loved dipping your shirt into the different color bowls and not surprisingly your shirts came out excellent, probably the best out of the four of us. Mom's was of course, very creative and mine came out OK but you both did great. We ended up coloring 8 shirts in all!
In the middle of last week we had a bit of an adventure. Wednesday night was the last night to sign up for T-Ball. Mom was working and I put Ad to bed around 7:00 and JD about 7:20ish. I was fiddling around on the computer at about 7:40 and it hit me, I FORGOT TO SIGN UP JD FOR T-BALL! Immediately, I ran upstairs! JD was awake and I said, "Get your clothes on and put Brick in his crate!" I had to wake up little Ad, put his jacket on, and get myself dressed in normal clothes! We were in the car in about two minutes! JD and I laughed on the way down the stairs and Adam was smiling but he didn't know why! We hit the ATM on the way and made it to town hall with ONE minute to spare! I was able to sign up to coach just before the people shut down sign ups! JD was absolutely the unsung hero of this little adventure. JD, you got 100% ready in no time AND got Brick in his crate. On the way back we all talked about the stars and Adam told us that his Bubba was on the moon! JD, you got a kick out of this. Now when Adam notices a moon in one of his story books, he says, "Bubba on moon," followed by a belly laugh!
This past weekend, we started off at the Dover Bowl early Saturday morning. One of JD's friends, Regan, was having her 6th birthday party. Mom and I were able to meet some parents that we didn't yet know and hang out with some other parents that we were already familiar with. JD, you were off with your friends the whole time playing ball in the play area, eating cake, bowling and running around. At the end when Regan was ready to open her gifts there was a solid crew of kids that hung around to see what she got. This is the first girl party you have been invited to. It was fun to see how your friends react to the "Girl gifts!"
After this party, which lasted a while, we went to Millis to visit Nana and Grampie B. We hadn't been down in over two months and it was so good to see my Mom. When we arrived she had a spread of food waiting
for us. I may have had 10 chocolate chip cookies within the first half hour of arriving. Brick was able to see Grampie for the first time in seven weeks too. Brick seemed to be a little standoffish with him at first as he didn't run right over, but warmed up eventually. Brick is back with us know but he'll be leaving soon.
Later in the afternoon, you both made some Rice Krispy easter eggs with Nana. She had a recipe for mixing up the stuff and you were both eager to help. JD is no stranger to following recipe's but Adam
has a little bit to learn. Adam you kept adding marshmallows to the already mixed "batter!" When you weren't doing that you were eating the Krispy mix off of the spoon!At night, Mom and I went out with our friends. I went to Norwood with Cauf, Jim, Chris, Mikey, Sean, Dan, Christine, and Leslie. It was nice to see everyone, even the police later in the night! Mom went to visit Kate who was babysitting for Liz's kids right down the street.
That same night after Adam went to bed, JD watched Discovery Channel with Nana and Grampie. JD, you talked about volcano's before falling asleep on the ride home the next day. When we arrived home you were sure to ask if you could watch Discovery and we all gathered around and watched a documentary about lions. Adam made sure to point out all of the animals he knew the names of.
We are all hoping for warmer weather coming up soon. It was so nice to see you all outside when I arrived home from work tonight. Adam was on his scooter, and JD on his bike. Az and Brick were out there too doing their thing. We do have a nice trip to Florida planned in about four weeks! We are all looking forward to getting some beach time in!
