This week with the Hogans

Boating with daddy (Sean thinking can this boat turn into a real one?)

At the pond

Linc trying out the potty

Watching the turtle poop opened up the poop talk again

We've had a relatively uneventful week. Carter's last day of school was this week so we are officially in summer mode! Should be interesting to not have that day break each week but we missed 1/2 of the weeks last year so it just wasn't worth it - I will be ready for fall no doubt to send them both back to school - Carter to preschool 2 days a week and Lincoln to one day a week of Mother's Day Out.

Our biggest news is that the bird in our front tree-bush - Carter bird, has babies! Of course, they have been named Carter and Lincoln by Carter. It is kind of fun to watch them - maybe I'll become a bird watcher after all. We saw a cardinal feed the baby birds last night but they birds can't be cardinals as they are brown with orange beaks so I thought that was interesting. The baby birds eat just as Animal Baby (a book that Carter used to get) says that they do - they stretch their little necks open and squawk for food!

The boys have been busy playing - Lincoln is starting to use the hammer - on everything in site so I'm putting the hammers away when I can! He's also followed Carter's lead and learned how to climb from the back of the couch on to our counter - not a good habit for sure! So if you come to our house and the love seat is pulled out into the middle of the living room - Lincoln is the reason. Carter is testing us with some naughty words this week - he's favorite saying right now are poopy anything, kick butt & Sh*t! He's getting his babies taken away for such talk and I'm hoping we are starting to be done with the naughty mouth - I did get the soap out last week and it scared him so I guess that might have to be done again. He's also decided to call his babies his brothers - so Lukey, Deer & Cow are now his brothers? He also decided yesterday he didn't like his real brother - I think it was because he was sitting on Sean's lap on the golf course that he wanted to disown him. It's always something...
