One Big Axx Bump

Lincoln's head met the concrete this morning and well, the concrete won. It's gonna be nasty for a few days while it heals. I could have used on Big Axx Beer from college after it happened!

There goes the neighborhood....

well as least this house! Carter's newest naughty lingo is underwear this and underwear that, which included the phrase "sorry underwear face" to his brother today, lovely, just lovely. He was reading the book "I STINK" this week and went straight to the part of Ugly Underpants and started trying out new underwear phrases - fantastic!

And I'm certain we are going to be getting calls about Lincoln this summer as I witnessed him drop his pants and pee in the backyard without even thinking twice! I let him pee at the park last week and may be regretting that decision for a long time to come, but it was better than the port-a-potty and there wasn't another soul at the park - will have to rethink that next time, I guess. I'll have to admit, I had to look away so I didn't laugh at him because he just stopped what he was doing right in the middle of the yard and went. Being potty trained has it's perks that is for sure but also its challenges!

First Ice Cream of the Year

The boys got their first ice cream cone of the season at the Zoo on Saturday. I actually think Carter has had a few in his life but Lincoln hasn't ever been given a cone free and clear before - yes I am THE mom who doesn't like a mess! They enjoyed their cones to the fullest and daddy was a bit upset that no one needed his help eating their ice cream! I see many cones in the near future!

Easter 2010

Easter was a pretty low-key event at our house this year, low-key but lovely! I got up early to be sure we had time to play and hunt eggs before church. Too bad I didn't get the mass time right and we were 45 min. early! Oh well, we made it until after communion and the boys were - D-O-N-E, done! The bunny brought Carter a Razor scooter - he's so excited to have a scooter like his "big friends" Kylie, Conner & Carson and was very excited to pass his other scooter down to his brother but he was WAY more excited about Lincoln getting a fishing pole than his scooter. He found the pole, took it to Lincoln in bed and told him how cool it was that he got a fishing pole like his. I found out that Carter does not like jelly beans - note to self but the Goldfish in the eggs were a big hit (thanks to Grandma for the idea). Of course we had to spend some time with the scooters and the fishing pole on Easter afternoon.

We had a lovely brunch at a place we hadn't tried and loved it, Sophabella's on May - totally recommended - love that my hair chic knows all the best places in town!

Attack of the Lorikeets!

I was attacked by Lorikeets!!! I didn't really realize that I was freaked out by birds until about 5 of them landed on me at one time. We went to the Zoo yesterday and decided we'd go through the exhibit (thanks to those of you who recommended this experience - you know who you are). Anyway - basically you buy nectar for the birds to drink and I was the first one through the ropes and they all flocked to me. Carter quickly moved away, Linc freaked and Sean put down the other cup of nectar because HE didn't want them on him. Yikes! It was OK once I was used to it and the birds were off my head - the Zoo Chic said he was just grooming me but that was a bit too much for me!

Say Cheese!

Dear Blogger,

Spring = Truck Time

Spring means one major thing in our house, time to drive the truck. The boys love this truck a little too much sometimes (daddy has been very disturbed about the level of physical exercise it takes away!) This year we have 2 "licenced" drivers which also has lead to a little bit of pouting as you can see. I also had the pleasure of pushing the truck back from the pond, lucky me!
