Sunday, February 27th: The artists at work with their Etch-a-Sketch. Notice mommy's fuzzy sock on Matthew's arm. Something new to play with I guess. Tonight we had a long night. It was our first (probably of many) nights in the basement for tornado warnings. A nasty storm blew through about 11:30 tonight, with possible tornado activity, so we spent about 30 minutes in the basement and then it took about an hour for the boys to fall back asleep.
Monday, February 28th: Tired this morning, especially after yesterday's excitement. The boys went to First Friends today, where Ryan fell and bumped his head. He was pretty upset for a long time, but I know that is because he was tired, and probably scared since mommy was not there. No harm done, not even a bump on the head. Pictures: the boys laying on their fuzzy blanket and Matthew destroying the toy room.
Tuesday, March 1st: Daddy got down our riding toys from the attic. You can't just get one new toy down, or else there is trouble, so he had to go back up and get the tricycle too. As soon as they start to lose interest in these, they will go back upstairs (or outside) because they take up a lot of room!
Wednesday, March 2nd: Happy birthday Grandpa Peterson! Grandma Smith came down today because daddy was out of town for work. So we spent the afternoon playing with Grandma, showing her our stylish potty hat. No, it definitely has not been used for the correct purpose yet!
Thursday, March 3rd: Both boys are sick. Mommy came down with something Monday, and today the boys were both cranky, and had runny noses, low grade fevers, and coughs. We had a good two week stretch where everyone seemed to be healthy, and now back to being sick. Hopefully this will not last long, mommy is at least feeling better today, so it wasn't too long for her. Grandma hooked the boys up with the best seats in the house, to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Friday, March 4th: Not much going on today, just trying to get the boys healthy. Uncle Kirk came up to visit from Carbondale. Picture of my spring "splurge": a hydrangea plant from the grocery store. I wonder if I can plant it outside once the weather warms up. If not, at least it helps brighten things in the house a bit!
Saturday, March 5th: Couch goats in action. You would never tell by the pictures that both guys are sick. They still seem to have limitless energy and no fear!
