365 project: week 17

This week: Loni loves Klaudia; Henry loves demonstrating his DS skills; Henry goes back in time; soccer; my sisters are pretty; and Max tries out a new 'do.

365 project: week 16

This week: If you feel like soccer will never end, you are not alone. Yet still more soccer; Max has a hair-raising experience at the fire station; Liam takes his first unassisted bike ride (yay!); and Henry helps himself to my helmet and bike (it was on a stand so I could ride inside on a rainy day).

wheeeeeeeeee!

Liam achieved his resolution! It was very exciting for all of us.

365 project: week 15

This week: Easter! Also, the boys dig up some dirt in Papaw's truck; more soccer; and Max and Henry test out our new glass markers.

totally alarmed

                                   Can I help you with something? Perhaps you
                                              have an alarm I can sound?

Longtime readers may remember one of the most mortifying days of my career as a mother. Today, I got to relive those precious moments over the phone with the daycare director, who told me that Henry had managed to pull the exact same alarm that Liam did all those years ago. Luckily, they figured it out before the fire department was dispatched to the scene and the building was evacuated. But the question remains: Can I ever show my face in that place again? Milene and I were actually thinking about going to a service there (it's a church) but now I'm thinking (though the director assured me that they wouldn't) that people will just point and laugh the whole time because I'm THAT MOM with the out-of-control boys who can't keep their hands off the fire alarms.

You also know, if you've been around me more than, say, 2.5 minutes, that I always say that Henry is worse than the other two put together. More demanding, more into everything, just ... more. And here is my proof that he is a gifted little menace: Liam was two weeks shy of his third birthday when he pulled his stunt; Henry is fast tracking things at only 2 years, 7 months, and 2 days. Milestones, people! This is definitely one for the books.

365 project: week 14

This week: Henry builds a big tower; more parks; more soccer (we just can't get enough!); we find a nice tree; the boys climb a hill; and we get ready for Easter.

365 project: week 13

This week: Parks, more parks, still more parks, a wild rumpus, and Henry gets a big boy haircut.
