Project Life Tuesday ~ March 15, 2011

Sunday, March 6th: Playing with blankets. Ryan really liked pulling Matthew around on the blanket, and then they had a game of peek-a-boo.



Monday, March 7th: A trip to the resale store and mommy bought a new Little People school bus and some cars for the boys to play with. Mommy was also thinking positively and picked up some summer outfits, hopefully the warm days will be here to stay soon!

Tuesday, March 8th: The boys both wanted to help peel potatoes. Raw potatoes are yummy, I guess.

Wednesday, March 9th: Both boys are still getting over their last cold, either that or the runny nose is from the molars I realized were coming in. At least after these teeth we will be done for a while, since there is no more room in their mouth for more!

Thursday, March 10th: Daddy helped build the mega block tower with the boys. I am surprised they let him build it so tall, they really love to knock towers over.

Friday, March 11th: Watching cartoons after a long day. We went to the library today for story time. Both boys finally seemed to spend more time listening to the librarian, but they were still all over the place most of the time.  

Saturday, March 12th: Playing one of their favorite games, chasing daddy. A beautiful day today, we went to the park with Aunt Heather and cousin Katie.

Project Life Tuesday ~ March 8, 2011

Welcome to another addition of a day in the life of our house!

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!

Tuesday, February 22nd: Chasing each other around.

Wednesday, February 23rd: My handsome twosome and the new hiding spot.

Project Life Tuesday ~ February 22, 2011

Sunday February 13th: It was a gorgeous day here with temperatures in the 50s! We all went to the park this morning and ran off some energy. There was still a lot of snow and ice on the ground, so we had to watch the boys carefully so they did not fall, but it was nice to be able to get out of the house. Bath night tonight, the boys had fun being squirted by mommy.

Monday, February 14th: Happy birthday Great Grandma Smith and Happy Valentine's Day! Mommy and the boys went to the grocery store to pick up a special dinner for daddy. The weather was great again, so we grilled out some steak! The boys really enjoyed the green beans, Ryan must of had a full sized adults portion, and he would still ask for more. We had to take pictures of his Buddha belly afterwards, I seriously don't know where he puts it!

Eating Green Beans

So Much Energy

Tuesday, February 15th: I could get used to this weather! Finally a warm up! Temps into the 60s today, almost 70 degrees. Mommy opened up the windows to get some fresh air. In the pictures, Matthew is still out cold when Ryan decided it was time to wake up. I totally disregard the saying "never wake a sleeping baby" - if one boy is up from his nap, I wake the other one. That way they both go to bed at night, at the same time. Ryan playing peek-a-boo with the laundry basket.

Wednesday, February 16th: Mommy bought the boys an early birthday present, an Etch-a-sketch. The boys had a lot of fun scribbling on it, and then erasing their artwork. Another gorgeous day! We dusted off the stroller and went for a walk today. Mommy realized she is really out of shape. Pushing both boys and the stroller uphill didn't go so well. Considering it is probably close to 90 pounds, I wonder why mommy had to stop so much?!

Thursday, February 17th: Happy birthday Great Grandma Peterson! Mommy met with one of the playgroup mommies today at the park, while the boys ran around. I only had to chase Ryan 5 or 6 times across the park because he was dead set on escaping. The park I like to go to is completely fenced in, except for the entrance, and of course Ryan has to test his boundaries. At least we all got some exercise!

Friday, February 18th: Both boys can now climb on the dining room chairs. Anything on the table is fair game, as you can see, Ryan found my sunglasses. Cooler temps today, only into the 60s! Heeehee to those Wisconsin folk! Well next week they are calling for colder weather. At least now all the snow is gone, and we got a taste of Spring. This year it will be great, mommy can go out and garden while the boys play in the backyard. I cannot wait!

Saturday, February 19th: I really should get back into journaling because I cannot remember what we did on Saturday, other than pizza night. :) It's only Tuesday, you would think I could remember just a few days back, but my mind is completely blank! The pictures are of Jason playing ball with the boys, he would throw it, and they would chase after the balls. And Matthew squishing Ryan (not intentionally yet).
