3:57am

Conversation at 3:57a.m.

Aidan walks in my room and crawls in bed with me (first time he has done this by the way)

Aidan "Hi Mommy!"

Me "Hi Aidan."

Aidan " I pee peed in my Diego pull-up"

Me "Ok. Go back to bed"

Aidan " I pee peed in my Diego pull-up"

Me "OK lets go change you. Let's go to the bathroom" (I look at my phone)
"Aidan! What are you doing awake? It is 3:57am!"

(We go to the potty and go to the bedroom. Aidan lays down)

Aidan "Watch cartoons now?"

Me "No it's four in the morning. Go to bed"

Aidan "Me watch cartoons now?"

Me "No go to bed. Good night!"

(I go to my room. Lay down. All of a sudden in the monitor I hear-)

Aidan "Hi Daddy!"

Eric "Help!!"

(I go into Nate's room. Nate's teething-sleeping horribly-Get Aidan. Put Aidan in his room)

(Nate wakes up and cries and cries and cries)

Then we all sleep until 7am

Catch up day!

Apparently hail is yummy!

So let's see here. It has been CRAZY lately!

Catch-up time!

The Saturday before Easter we FINALLY dyed our eggs. I was surprised it wasn't as messy as I thought it was going to be. We put old clothes on the boys, went outside to the picnic table, and prepared to be messy. Didn't happen though. Other than a few dyed fingers things stayed pretty clean. Aidan even used that little metal dipper thing the correct way! Balanced the eggs in it and everything!

The next morning Adan and Nate were excited to see that the Easter bunny had came. Aidan was not too happy about me taking his picture first thing in the morning though!

NOT a morning person

After breakfast and a nap in the car we went to my dad's house for an Easter egg hunt, more candy, and lunch. Poor Nate was so slow he would see an egg and by the time he would get to it another kid would have taken it. There were 7 children (Dad's step kids kids) ad Aidan and Nate. Needless to say it was a bit nutty there.

Chocolate tastes good too!

So, we have been spending lots of time at the park due to us putting the house on the market and me having to keep it clean. Here are a couple cute park pics.

Posing for the camera. Head tilt was HIS idea!Future model or what?


Mad because I wouldn't get him out of the tree.

So last weekend we went to West Virginia for Eric's cousin Cathy's wedding. I took this picture at the reception. This is NOT staged. It looks like a playbill. It is hilarious!

Told you it was funny!

Growing into best friends

So...I have to remember to let the kids read this post when they get older. They are becoming the cutest friends lately. Today I sent Aidan
 on a mission to find an elephant in the house and to take N with him to help search. A would turn around and say "Come on Nate let's go" and Nate would squeal and bounce after him. (The elephant search was a ploy to have five minutes free while cooking dinner. For some reason EVERY day around 4pm when I am getting dinner started Nate goes BANANAS. Every stupid day.)

So the coolest thing to do in our house apparently is to jump and run on Aidan's bed. If his door is open Nate is in there on the bed flopping around. Literally, he flops and flips. Then add a three year old and you have a tackling situation going on. Normally you would think this wouldn't be bad, but it is a toddler bed which means the sides are basically open. We do have an awesome bumpy turtle rug to catch the kids tossed overboard, but still it is kind of scary.

So after there is running and jumping Aidan decides he must hold down Nate and hug him, which Nate loved for a while. (Yes they both have bites aka. pacifiers. Aidan knows he can only use his when he is asleep so he runs to his room and takes "naps" The birthday bird is coming soon to take care of the bite problem) Oh the spot on his head, not dirt, still the bruise!


This is what happened after Nate decided he didn't want to be hugged anymore. Poor kid!
